Kelunis Japanese-Style Wooden Knife Block Holder (Brown Sapele, 46cm x 20.5cm x 46cm)

What types of knives can this holder accommodate?

This holder accommodates up to six knives including sashimi knives, sushi knives, chef's knives, steak knives, wide knives, long knives and cleavers. The 22.6cm width slots can handle various blade sizes and thicknesses. However, extremely thick or unusually shaped knives may not fit properly, so check your knife dimensions against the holder specifications before purchasing.

Is the Sapele wood construction durable for daily kitchen use?

Yes, Sapele wood is known for its durability and resistance to moisture, making it excellent for kitchen environments. This eco-friendly hardwood maintains its structural integrity even with regular use and cleaning. The natural oils in Sapele provide some water resistance, though proper drying after washing is still recommended to maximise longevity and prevent any potential warping over time.

How does the ventilation design benefit knife storage?

The hollow-out design beneath the knife rest creates airflow around stored blades, preventing moisture accumulation that can cause rust or bacterial growth. This ventilation system is particularly important for freshly washed knives that may retain water droplets. Proper air circulation helps maintain blade sharpness by preventing corrosion and extends knife lifespan through optimal storage conditions.

Will this knife block tip over when removing heavy knives?

No, the sturdy construction and heavy base design prevent tipping during normal use. The solid Sapele wood construction provides sufficient weight and stability to handle the removal of even heavy cleavers or large chef's knives. The wide base distributes weight evenly, ensuring the holder remains stable on your countertop during daily kitchen tasks.

Can I put this wooden knife holder in the dishwasher?

Yes, this knife holder is dishwasher safe, making cleaning convenient and thorough. The treated Sapele wood construction can withstand dishwasher temperatures and detergents without damage. However, hand washing with mild soap and water is also effective and may help preserve the wood's natural appearance over extended periods of use.

What are the exact dimensions and will it fit on my countertop?

The holder measures 46cm x 20.5cm x 46cm, requiring a countertop space of approximately 46cm by 20.5cm. The height of 46cm means you'll need adequate clearance above, particularly if placing under cabinets. Consider measuring your available space carefully, including overhead clearance, to ensure proper fit in your kitchen layout.

Does this product come with knives included?

No, this is a knife holder only - no knives are included with your purchase. You'll receive just the wooden knife block holder itself. This allows you to use it with your existing knife collection or purchase knives separately according to your specific cooking needs and preferences.

Is this knife holder suitable as a gift?

Yes, this makes an excellent gift for cooking enthusiasts, professional chefs, or anyone who appreciates organised kitchen storage. The sophisticated Sapele wood finish complements both traditional and modern kitchen décors. It's particularly suitable for housewarming gifts, wedding presents, or Christmas gifts for people who enjoy cooking and value quality kitchen organisation solutions.
