This knife block holding up to 22 knives in a tight fit and 11 knives in a lose fit. The unique, angular float knife block designed by London designer Christian Bird is a magnum piece of art for the kitchen. The product requires a large kitchen top to thrive. It is a true statement of striking design. The item is made of black rubber-coated plastic which makes it relatively light for its size. Clever use of weighting secures the knives in their blocks, just as slight angling allows for easy extraction. Designed for maximum flexibility it is suitable for most knives.
