Cut in a straight line.
When you don’t have acres of counter space, your kitchen drawers have got to be put to good use. Keep them from getting the dreaded junk drawer moniker: this handsome in-drawer knife organizer holds 11 knives, keeping them as straight as arrows.

Meet the Maker
Messermeister
Ojai, CA
Messermeister (loosely translated to “knife master” in German) remains one of the few companies in the world to produce hammer-forged knives the traditional way, and they’ve been doing so for over three decades. Founder Bernd Dressler (whose family had emigrated to Australia and then the United States from Germany) combined his respect and interest in high-quality cutlery with a desire to reconnect with his countrymen by collaborating with and learning from a 3rd generation knife making family in Germany.

Never been so organized
We have a lot of knives and this handles them all--big and small. It's so easy to reach for the perfect knife. Takes up so little space. Great quality. We've never been so organized.
Outstanding Asset
Bought the great Food 52 knives but needed a secure way to store them, Voila’, even my husband remarked on how nice the organizer is. We both agreed its sturdy, beautiful and fits perfectly in our storage drawer. Another great item from Food 52.
Replied a homemade one.
Perfect fit and holds many knives. It makes my drawer so much more spacious. I love it and it’s very attractive. Now I need matching knives.
