Wusthof in-drawer knife block

If you're looking to declutter your counters, keeping your knives out in plain sight is no longer an option. But storing them all together in a drawer can be bad for the blades (not to mention the fingers). The knife experts at Wusthof suggest their beechwood tray ($29.95). It has slots for 14 knives, can hold up to a 10-inch blade, and fits perfectly in most standard kitchen drawers.
