Inlaid Knife Holder by LUXE Linear Drains

Many smart ideas that make their way to residential design got their start on the commercial side. Case in point: LUXE Linear Drains’ new stainless steel knife holder. The knife slot takes a cue from space-savvy (make that space-starved) restaurant kitchens and butcher shops, where a barely visible groove in the chopping block keeps sharp blades out of the way. The stainless slot can be inlaid into the countertop, grill station, or kitchen island surface, and it takes up less counter space than a knife block. The holder is available in 14-, 18-, and 22-inch lengths, and in custom sizes, too. Luxe Linear Drains. www.lineardrains.com
