Every knife you own, visible at once. The 360 Knife Block sits on the counter, spins on steel bearings, and holds up to 12 knives on strong magnets. No digging through a drawer. No guessing which handle is which. This is a knife block without knives, on purpose. You already have blades worth keeping. What they need is a better place to live. There's an edge-care reason we carry it, too. The slots in a wooden knife block drag against the blade every time a knife goes in or out. Magnets hold the flat of the blade and never touch the edge. Your knives stay sharper between visits to us for sharpening, and the same idea runs through our whole magnetic knife holder and storage collection. The block itself is the patented hourglass design that launched on Kickstarter in 2015 and earned a recommendation from America's Test Kitchen. Each one is built from more than 8 feet of quarter sawn American walnut, cut into 16 precision parts and assembled by hand in a small woodshop in Seabeck, Washington. It weighs over 10 pounds, so it stays planted while it spins, and it fits under standard cabinets. Capacity is 3 knives per side across 6 sides. Most kitchens settle in comfortably at 6 to 10. Care is simple: place knives on the block clean and dry, and wipe the wood down with a kitchen towel when needed. Questions Does the 360 Knife Block come with knives?No. It's sold empty, built for the knives you already own. It holds chef's knives, santokus, paring knives, steak knives, and most kitchen shears. Is a magnetic knife block better for knife edges than a slotted block?Depends. Slotted blocks scrape the edge on every insertion and removal. Magnets grip the side of the blade, so the edge never touches anything until it touches food. What is the block made of?Quarter sawn American wood over a weighted steel base with three bearings. Total weight is over 10 pounds. Show more
