WüsthofIn Drawer Knife Storage

Nice way to store knives without using a lot of space

This knife insert is perfect. We have an abundance of cutting knives and this contained the clutter and created safety while cooking.

Some reviews have said their knives do not fit. I use standard chef knives Paring knives Bread knives pizza cutter and micro plane all of which fit great in this holder. Even my grapefruit knife fits in the divide between the two sections Although my drawer is 3 1/2 inches deep there is a 4 1/2 inch clearance to the bottom of my countertop which seems to be ample clearance The knives sit on a plastic covered steel shaft. I simply place them on top of the plastic without any pressure so no damage to knife or plastic.

Apparently my husband has a knife fetish. I always suspected it, but after owning this knife tray for 3 years there is no denying it. When I got it, it fit all of our kitchen knives perfectly, allowing me to get rid of the clunky (and usually dusty) knife block that had been on our countertop for over 20 years. The tray fit in our drawer very nicely and all the knives were neatly lined up and under control. Note, our steak knives are in their own holder so this is just used for cooking knives.Now, somehow, I find myself needing to either buy another one or else get a bigger one. DH has collected MORE kitchen knives and swears he can't get rid of any of them. He rotates through them, with different ones being his "favorite" for a few days before he abandons it for another one that has caught his eye. Now a bunch of knives are laying loose in the drawer between this tray and the cutlery tray and every time I reach in there I half-way expect to lose a fingertip. We're planning to move soon and I brought up the subject of weeding out the kitchen knives and he nearly fainted. It's just like a little kid with 4000 plastic dinosaurs who can't give up a SINGLE ONE of them! I keep forwarding articles to him where the experts say you only need at most THREE kitchen knives, but he ignores them. ...sigh... I suppose there are worse fetishes he could have....[...smile...]Seriously, this tray has worked very well for over 3 years now. If you have no more than 7 knives to store, with no more than 3 of those being long knives, then this should work fine for you. But if you have more knives, or a spouse who can't resist a shiny, sharp new knife, then you should go for a larger one that holds more. Check the dimensions to make sure it fits your drawer.

Low profile slides back and forth with the drawer easily. Sturdy construction with slots for long and short cutlery.

This is great for my new Wüsthof knives and a couple others!

This knife holder fits perfectly into a narrow drawer and now holds all of my knives and my honer right in the middle! Love it!

This was exactly what I needed to clear the knife block from the counters which makes my kitchen look mor organized.Quality product!

This knife holder is truly a piece of junk. When you set the knives in the allocated slots the actual cutting portion of the blade can rest and sit on the metal spacer bars as they are not properly protected as I have shown in pictures. This is a cheap Chinese made knife holder branded with a reputable German name.

Using a large knife block that sits on your counter is, in my opinion, a waste of space, and when you want to upgrade your knives, it doesn't always fit the new ones. This knife tray freed up a lot of counter space and provides flexible storage for all kinds of knives. I've had it for over two years and the wood still looks great. It's the most efficient, accessible way to store knives that I've seen. I'd never go back.

I love this product.I had my knives loose in drawer and this works great.I have it placed horizontally to accommodate my other storage needs and it suits my purposes.I would recommend if you have a small kitchen and do not have room or like knives on counter.I am so happy to have found this product.

I ordered2. One was damaged but Amazon replaced it for me. The wood is great quality. 3 large and long knives fit in each and 2-3 pairing knives. The knives don't giggle around, it protects the knives and it's very safe. Great product.

This works really well to store knifes in your drawer, but I expected better craftsmanship from Wusthof. There are a bunch of sharp splinters sticking out in-between the sections.
