ABSTRACT:
A knife holder for removably supporting kitchen knives, each having a handle and a blade, is adapted to rest on a table or counter or hang on a wall. The holder includes an upwardly sloped upper surface, a generally vertical front surface, a plurality of slots extending inwardly from these two surfaces, and an obstruction near the lower end of the slots so that the length of the interior portion of a slot at least equals the length of a knife blade, whereas the frontal portion of a slot (down to the obstruction) is shorter than the knife blade. A knife handle engaging projection is located adjacent the upper end of each slot to prevent accidental slippage of a knife from a slot. When a knife is supported in a slot, the blade tip is behind and below the obstruction, and the knife handle rests on the upper surface of the holder behind the handle engaging projection. The knife is removed by raising it vertically in the slot until the handle clears the projection and until the blade tip clears the obstruction, and then moving it forwardly out through the front of the slot. The holder is also provided with one or more implement-receiving slots extending horizontally thereinto from a side thereof for storing a scissors, a knife, a sharpener or other implement.
