Description
I am a brass knife stand. I may look dangerous wielding knives around town, but you can be rest assured, I’m stable as can be. I have a tough guy exterior but I’m really just here to serve and protect.
Curator’s Notes
The convenience of a knife stand makes cooking in the kitchen infinitely easier. Along with its stunning appearance, this stable Futagami knife stand has elements that make it particular great. Its triangular cutouts allow for quick drying and the bottom is covered in silicone to prevent scratches to tabletop surfaces. There are 5 slots in total on the knife block. 3 slots can fit knife blades that are 2 1/4″ widest and two slots can fit 1 1/8″ knives at the widest.
