Wusthof 8001 Under-Cabinet-Swinger Knife Storage Block
When counter space is at a premium, this clever knife block  stores cutlery underneath a kitchen cabinet. It mounts easily with a  drill and three screws (included) that secure the block's "spacer" (a  1-1/4-inch-thick oak block) to the cabinet's bottom. Between the  spacer, which ensures handles are comfortably lower than the cabinet,  and the actual block are two steel plates connected to a pivoting  device that permits the block to be rotated 360 degrees. Thus, when not  needed, the block can be swiveled in any direction so knife handles  don't protrude. When knives are needed, a push of a finger brings their  handles from beneath the cabinet. Solidly made of oak, the block has  eight slots for knives with blades up to 10 inches long and a ninth  slot for a sharpening steel. Magnetic strips hold knives securely in  their slots. The block measures 10-1/4 inches long, 7-1/4 inches wide,  and, including the spacer, 3-1/2 inches high.--Fred Brack
