The Edlund KSB-2002 12" stainless steel knife block is a high-performance, countertop storage solution tailored to meet the rigorous demands of commercial kitchens, institutional foodservice environments, and professional culinary operations. Constructed with a durable stainless steel housing and base, this knife block offers long-lasting reliability and resistance to corrosion, warping, and everyday wear—ideal for fast-paced, high-volume settings. Its innovative open slot design allows chefs and kitchen staff to organize up to six chef’s knives with flexibility, placing each knife in the most accessible and efficient position based on workflow, frequency of use, or personal preference. This layout not only enhances operational efficiency but also promotes safe knife handling practices by minimizing unnecessary contact and movement. A standout feature of the KSB-2002 is its removable, extra-thick plastic insert, designed to be dishwasher safe for easy and thorough sanitation. This component is essential in helping foodservice operations meet health department standards and maintain consistent hygiene protocols. By eliminating hidden spaces that can trap food debris or moisture—common issues in traditional knife blocks—the KSB-2002 ensures a cleaner, safer storage environment. Its open design also promotes air circulation, aiding in the prevention of bacterial growth and reducing the risk of cross-contamination, especially critical in kitchens where food safety is paramount. Adding to its functional versatility, the KSB-2002 includes a dedicated slot that can accommodate either a traditional round honing steel or a flat diamond steel, or alternatively, a seventh knife with a width of up to 1-1/4 inches. This feature allows chefs to conveniently store sharpening tools alongside their knives, making routine blade maintenance both accessible and efficient.

• INNOVATIVE OPEN SLOT CONFIGURATION: The Edlund KSB-2002 12" stainless steel knife block is engineered with a practical and user-friendly open slot design, which accommodates up to six chef’s knives. This flexible configuration empowers kitchen professionals to organize and retrieve knives quickly and efficiently, streamlining prep workflows.
• SUPERIOR SANITATION AND EASY MAINTENANCE: Prioritizing hygiene, the KSB-2002 features a removable, extra-thick plastic insert that can be thoroughly cleaned independently of the stainless steel housing. The insert is fully dishwasher safe, enabling foodservice operations to maintain rigorous sanitation standards with minimal manual effort. Additionally, the open design further reduces the risk of moisture buildup, a common issue in enclosed knife storage systems.
• VERSATILE STORAGE CAPACBILITIES: The knife block’s unique design includes a dedicated steel slot that accommodates both round honing steels and flat diamond steels, or alternatively, an additional 1-1/4" wide knife. This multipurpose feature enhances the product’s functionality, enabling chefs to keep sharpening tools within immediate reach.
• DURABLE CONSTRUCTION: Constructed from high-grade stainless steel, the KSB-2002 is built to withstand the demanding conditions of commercial kitchens. The durable housing and base resist corrosion, dents, and general wear, ensuring long-term reliability. Rubber foot pads at the bottom of the block provide non-slip stability during use, preventing unintended movement on slick or wet countertops.
• PROUDLY MANUFACTURED IN THE USA: Assembled in the United States, the Edlund KSB-2002 exemplifies quality craftsmanship and adherence to American manufacturing standards. Its design aligns with the needs of commercial foodservice operations, making it an ideal choice for restaurants, catering services, institutional kitchens, and other professional culinary settings.
