WOOD-LINE Knife Insert - Oak

This is an oak knife insert designed to sit within a drawer alongside Blum's matching oak cutlery tray. Made from solid oak with a natural finish, it provides dedicated storage for five knives of varying sizes, from small paring knives through to large chef's knives.

Where It Fits

The insert sits in a standard drawer depth of 450mm, taking up 398mm of that space. At just 30mm high, it fits comfortably in most drawer configurations. While designed to complement the oak cutlery tray system, it works equally well on its own or can be placed on your worktop as a freestanding block.

How It Works

Five individual slots hold each knife securely in place, protecting the blades and keeping them organised. The slots accommodate different blade widths, so you can store everything from delicate paring knives to substantial chef's knives in the same insert.

Why It Matters

Proper knife storage protects your investment in good blades and keeps them sharp longer. Having knives readily accessible but safely contained means you can reach for the right tool quickly during cooking. The solid oak construction provides enough weight to keep knives stable while remaining gentle on blade edges.

Build Quality

Blum constructs this from solid oak with a natural finish that will age and develop character over time. As with any natural wood product, grain patterns and colour tones will vary between pieces. The insert comes with Blum's lifetime guarantee, reflecting the expected durability of solid wood construction.

Design Consideration

This works particularly well if you already have or are considering the matching oak cutlery system, creating a cohesive drawer organisation. The natural oak will complement both traditional and contemporary kitchens, though the warm wood tone is especially suited to kitchens with other natural materials. Consider that being a natural product, it won't match stained or painted wood finishes exactly.
