ZWILLING In-Drawer Knife Block — 12-Slot Beechwood, Slim Two-Tier with Sharpening Steel Slot, Fits Most Drawers

ZWILLING’s 12-slot beechwood in-drawer knife block stores and protects up to 12 knives and a sharpening steel inside a drawer for easy, out-of-the-way access. Keeping knives tucked away instead of on the counter saves space and extends blade life by preventing accidental nicks. This slim, two-tier beechwood tray fits most kitchen drawers and organizes a full set of knives so handles align for consistent, safe removal. The intelligent layout separates shorter blades from longer ones and includes a dedicated slot sized for a 10" sharpening steel.
