This block is made from premium materials and can store up to 10 knives at a time, freeing up valuable counter top space. This differs from others of its kind as the average knife block can't hold more than 5 knives, meaning one can't display their [full range](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hk2024-eggplant).
