ABSTRACT:
A slidable knife holder includes a knife holding block that includes a plurality of slots for holding a plurality of knives and a slidable mount so that the block is slidably mountable to a support structure such as, for example, a cabinet or counter. For example, the block can be slidably mounted under or in cabinets, over sinks, or under counters. According to a preferred embodiment, the knife holder holds the knives in a vertical arrangement (via one or more vertically extending lines of knife holding slots) such that the knife holder has a very small lateral dimension and occupies a very small volume that extends primarily in a vertical direction. The knife holding block slides in a horizontal direction so that the block moves between a retracted position and an extended position.
