Abstract: Embodiments are directed towards a kitchen cutting board that is configured to securely, but removably affix a knife to the cutting board when the knife is not being used. The cutting board may include several cutting surfaces, a shelf that has at least one wall that abuts at least one of the cutting surfaces. A plurality of magnets are disposed within at least one wall and arranged to magnetically affix a ferrous utensil, such as a knife blade, to the wall.

Abstract: Embodiments are directed towards a transparent stand assembly that has multiple faces for holding and showcasing a plurality of knives and/or other utensils. Disposed within each face is a plurality of magnets that are arranged to magnetically affix a knife blade to a face of the stand assembly. Because the stand assembly includes multiple faces, knifes or other ferrous utensils, may be magnetically affixed and showcased on any of the multiple faces. In one embodiment, the magnets may be arranged to extend beyond a surface of a face to hold a knife away from the stand assembly, allowing air to circulate around the knife. The transparency of the stand allows for viewing of knives through the different faces. The stand assembly may include a removal base or be of a thickness that enables the knife stand to be placed upright on a surface without a separate base for support.
