Joseph Joseph DrawerStore Knife Organiser, holds up to 9 knives, Kitchen Organisation & Drawer Storage – Compact, Grey

Does the jobFits nicely in the drawer. All my sharp knives and steak knives are now safely stored. I can sharpen everything and not worry about someone accidentally getting hurt. Brilliant. Might even get some more sharp knives to fill in the other slots.

I've had exactly the same Joseph Joseph knife tidy for several years and my only reason for purchasing this one was that my OH inadvertently placed an egg slicer in the kitchen drawer which normally is stored elsewhere, on top of the knife store causing the whole drawer to jam and it had to eventually be forced open, resulting in both the knife tidy and egg slicer to be completely damaged beyond repair hence purchasing this new knife tidy.I love kitchen utensils, especially kitchen knives as they can make cooking so much easier and this knife storage aid is a very practical way of storing them safely allowing easy and safe access to the desired knife.The knife tidy fits nicely into a regular kitchen drawer and holds up to 9 smaller knives in the top section and theoretically 9 in bottom section but I'd say that 9 would be a little on the crowded side with 9 large knives with thicker handles but fortunately I have only 5 large Victorinox kitchen knives so while it could take more, 5 is very practical and easily stored.Having had one of these for several years I can thoroughly recommend them and as soon as I damaged the old one, without hesitation I re-ordered a new one immediately so that speaks for itself.It's a well thought out and practical way of storing sharp knives in a drawer so buy with confidence.

I like Joseph Joseph products as they are well designed and built, but they are also expensive, so I tend to only buy after much thought. The Drawstore, however, was one of those products that just seemed to be ideal and the reviews I read nearly all raved about them. In the past, I had one of the whole drawer plastic trays but these get tatty and don't seem to work that well for me.I have a lot of cutlery so purchased 2 and have found that I can put 1 row of knives and 2 rows of forks & spoons into each slot. This is enough for around 15 knives and 25-30 spoons. They have also meant I have gained half of my cutlery drawer back for those other 'odd' items like a bread knife, cheese knife, butter knives and baking palette knives, so another win there.There are a few downsides. The first is because I have a shallower drawer (actually it is the top edge of the worktop comes down into the drawer space more) and I found that if I used 2 rows of knives as I do forks and spoons, then they caught the top lip when I opened the drawer and stopped it opening properly. This is not a design fault of the tray but of the kitchen unit but is something to be aware of. The other is the little diagrams on the slots are hard to read and I am forever forgetting which is spoons and which is forks (the handles look the same). The final one is the cost. Each tray is around £15 usually, so getting the 2 has cost £30. As I said at the start, Joseph Joseph kit is expensive but well built. I wish I had spent the money sooner though as they have truly transformed my cutlery drawer and given me so much more space.There is a sharp knife version available too. I use a worktop knife store so haven't tried this, but design-wise, it is designed to match this tray, so will be worth looking at for those who keep sharp knives in a cutlery drawer - with an added benefit that the knives will last longer as they will be separated.

A really well designed product. Excellent for space saving and organisation.It does collect dust and bits over time so needs cleaning every few months but so do traditional cutlery storage trays.Great investment, very pleased with it!

Anyone else got the long skinny useless cutlery drawer in their van? I couldn't believe that this thing fits the drawer like a glove. with an inch at the front to store coasters. I've just got a 2006 Compass Avantgarde but have seen exactly the same size drawer in many other marques. Normal size cutlery fits in well. Brilliant solution to the usual badly planned van storage.

Block seems well made with good spacing between slots. Fits perfectly in my kitchen drawers. They've used a very nice wood as well, not too heavy or light. Instructions say you should oil the wood , I have not. I would recommend this.

One thing I hate is cutlery clutter.This solves that problemb!It’s cute, clean and saves space.Instead of a drawer full of a bulky organiser you can use this and save 3/4 of the space for other items.Good for smaller kitchens too where you are limited to space but still want to make your space nice

I recently purchased a new chefs knife and vegetable knife but did not want to use a knife block so I measured my drawer and found that this Joseph Joseph knife DrawerStore Knife Organiser would hold upto 9 knives and so I thought I would give it a go.It looks like it will hold more than 9 knives but you can put up-to 5 longer knives in on the lower rack leaving an empty slot between each knife. Then in the upper rack you place the knives along the line of the empty slots not used by the lower. In-fact you could alternatively use 4 longer knives on the bottom and then 5 shorter knives on the top to make the maximum 9 knives.On the lower deck I have a two chefs knives, a vegetable knife, a bread knife and carving knife and then in the upper rack I have placed 4 shorter knives. These all fit well.When I open and close the drawer, the knives stay in-place and the knives are easy enough to remove and replace after each use.There aren't many frills with this device, for example the slots are wider than the knives but the organiser is in a drawer and does seem to do the job to I am happy with it.
