1. How they are made — materials & quality
Every knife holder is handmade in Latvia (made in Europe), combining a powder-coated metal frame with elements of solid wood and real wood veneer (koka finieris). The result is heavy and stable — it stays put on the counter while you pull a blade — with a clean, hard-wearing finish that wipes down easily.
- Durable powder-coated metal — a tough, even colour coat that resists chips and kitchen wear.
- Free-standing or wall-mounted — counter blocks for easy reach, wall holders to free up worktop space.
- Knife-friendly slots — blades sit securely and are simple to insert and remove.
- Made responsibly — for every order placed we plant one tree.
2. Design, interiors, finishes & who they are for
Sculptural shapes and a choice of bold colours or warm wood give these knife blocks a designer, centrepiece quality that suits modern, minimalist, Scandinavian, industrial and warm-contemporary kitchens. Stand one on the worktop as a statement, or mount a wooden holder on the wall to keep blades off the counter entirely.
Available wood finishes on the wooden models (the metal stands come in a range of powder-coated colours):
- Oak — light, warm and timeless.
- Walnut — deep, rich brown tones.
- Ash — pale and airy with a clean grain.
- Cherry — warm reddish-brown.
- Wenge — bold, dark and contemporary.
Who they are for: home cooks and keen chefs who want their good knives stored safely and on show, design-conscious owners furnishing a kitchen with character, and anyone giving a memorable housewarming or wedding gift. Browse the wider kitchen collection and kitchen organisers.
Frequently asked questions
Do the knife holders come with knives included?
No — our knife blocks and holders are sold without knives, so you can store and display the blades you already own. The slots and stands are designed to suit a typical set of kitchen knives.
What is the difference between a knife block and a wall-mounted knife holder?
A free-standing knife block sits on the worktop for instant reach, while a wall-mounted holder fixes to the wall to keep your counter clear. Choose the block for mobility, the wall holder for small kitchens.
What are the knife holders made of?
They combine powder-coated metal with solid wood and real wood veneer (koka finieris), handmade in Latvia. The metal stands come in several colours; the wooden models come in oak, walnut, ash, cherry and wenge.
Will my knives fit?
The holders are designed for standard kitchen knives — chef’s, santoku, utility, paring and a sharpening steel. Check each product page for the number of slots and dimensions before ordering.
How do I clean and care for a wooden knife holder?
Wipe with a slightly damp cloth and dry it; avoid soaking. Let knives dry before inserting them so moisture doesn’t sit inside the slots, and the holder will look good for years.
Are they stable enough to stay put when removing a knife?
Yes — the pieces are deliberately heavy and solid, so they stay in place on the counter as you pull and replace blades. Customers repeatedly note how substantial they feel.
How long does delivery take and how are they packed?
We ship from Latvia, Europe, each holder carefully wrapped to protect edges and finish. Delivery to the US typically takes about 7–14 business days.
