As every cook knows, a knife is an essential kitchen tool. And most cooks I know have a whole rotation of knives they use on a regular basis, so the question becomes how to store them. Sticking your good knives in a drawer will inevitably dull the blades, and those fancy (expensive) wooden knife blocks tend to have only one or two slots wide enough for a chef’s knife or santoku knife, the ones used the most often, and a million and twelve slots that are only big enough for a boning knife. Those magnetic strips hold a variety of knife shapes, but don’t work with ceramic knives and seem awfully lethal for anyone who is even a little bit klutzy.
Enter the Kapoosh universal knife block. A wooden block which contains hundreds of tiny plastic rods, it accommodates any shape of knife collection. The rods also are removable for cleaning – they even go in the dishwasher. Best of all, it’s only $29.99 – an affordable gift for any cook on your list.
