In-Drawer Knife Tray

Protect your hands--and your knives--with this in-drawer knife tray by the Vermont-based J.K. Adams Company. This 16-1/2-by-7-inch knife tray crafted out of New England ash creates a tidy space to store four long kitchen knives with blades up to 10 inches long, as well as six steak knives or paring knives. There's also a center slot for a sharpening rod. The wood won't dull your blades, and it's certainly easier on them than being left loose to bang into each other when you open and close the knife drawer. The wood is treated with a light oil finish that makes it easier to clean and renew.
