Abstract: A knife holder for placement into a drawer is disclosed. It includes a plurality of substantially identical and substantially rectangular flexible leaf members secured near one end but unsecured at the opposite end, either placed in an open top box which fits completely into a drawer or directly on a horizontal surface. Knives can be placed in the cutlery section of the box with the free ends of their blades held between the unsecured ends of the leaf members, so that the knives are held on their edges by the plurality of leaf members and each knife is accessible by a user without removing other knives. The knives rest against the bottom of the box or against the horizontal surface. In one arrangement, a dowel rod secures the plurality of leaf members by tightly fitting through the holes formed by the leaf members.

Abstract: A knife holder for placement into a drawer is disclosed. It includes a plurality of substantially rectangular leaf members secured near one end but unsecured at the opposite end, and an open top box which fits completely into a drawer. When the plurality of substantially rectangular leaf members are placed into the knife section of the box with the secured end placed nearest the end of the cutlery section of the box, knives can be placed in the cutlery section of the box with the free ends of their blades held between the unsecured ends of the leaf members, so that the knives are held on their edges by the plurality of leaf members and each knife is accessible by a user without removing other knives. In one arrangement, each leaf of the plurality of leaf members forms a hole at the point where the leaf members are secured, and a dowel rod secures the plurality of leaf members by tightly fitting through the holes formed by the leaf members.
