Shallow Cutlery Drawer Compatibility
Will this fit in my shallow cutlery drawer?
You need to measure your drawer depth carefully before purchasing. Because of the ingenious stacked two-tier design, your drawer must have a minimum internal height clearance of 8.5cm. If your drawers are the ultra-slim modern style, the knife handles might catch on the cabinet frame when you try to pull the drawer open.
Preventing Drawer Slippage
Does it slide around every time I open the drawer?
No. The base of the DrawerStore is fitted with discrete non-slip silicone feet. These grip the bottom of your drawer securely, stopping the block from sliding backward and forward when you pull the drawer open in a hurry.
Bamboo Vs Plastic Knife Organisers
Is the bamboo better than the standard plastic version?
Bamboo is a highly durable, sustainable, and naturally water-resistant material. Compared to the grey plastic version, the bamboo model adds a much warmer, premium "custom joinery" feel to your kitchen. More importantly, natural wood is gentler on your knife blades, ensuring the sharp edges don't get prematurely dulled by scraping against hard plastic.
Using Bamboo Knife Blocks Vs Traditional Benchtop Blocks
Why use this instead of a traditional benchtop knife block?
Benchtop blocks take up valuable prep space and can make a kitchen look cluttered. This organiser hides your sharp knives away safely in a drawer, freeing up your benchtops for a cleaner, minimalist aesthetic while keeping your essential prep tools instantly accessible.
Knife Storage Capacity Of Bamboo Organisers
How many knives does it actually hold?
It holds a total of 9 knives. The top tier is designed for 5 short knives (like paring and utility knives), and the bottom tier holds 4 long knives (like your chef's, bread, and carving knives). If you have a massive 15-piece knife block set, a single DrawerStore won't be enough to hold your entire collection.
Cleaning And Maintaining Bamboo Knife Organisers
How do I clean and maintain the bamboo?
Simply wipe it clean with a damp cloth and dry it immediately by hand. To keep the bamboo looking rich and to prevent it from drying out over the years, you can occasionally rub a light coat of food-safe mineral oil over the surface, just exactly as you would with a quality timber chopping board.
