The 360KnifeBlock™ MAX
Exclusively using wood sourced from Bellingham, Washington, each 360 Knife Block™ MAX is handcrafted with precision and care in our Seabeck, Washington Woodshop. Shipped directly to you, this pinnacle of craftsmanship is finished with Emmitt’s Good Stuff, a food-safe finish that ensures lasting beauty and durability. For maintenance, we recommend replenishing the wood twice a year with any butcher block oil to keep it in pristine condition. Care instructions are simple: place clean, dry knives vertically, ensuring both the knives and block remain dry with a kitchen towel to maintain its elegance and hygiene.
Our Largest 360 Knife Block™ Design
We added 3 large top slots – for up to 8.5” long blades and a center hole for a honing steel. Please keep in mind that top slots are not accessible under upper cabinets.
Designed for kitchens with islands or where there are no-upper cabinets, the 360 Knife Block™ MAX can hold an impressive 20+ knives with visible 360 degree access in a footprint smaller than most traditional knife blocks. If you were to “unroll” a 360 Knife Block™ MAX you would have nearly 3 feet of knife storage.
Care – place clean dry knives vertically on the 360KnifeBlock™. Keep your block clean and dry, use any kitchen towel to be sure your knives and block are dry. Learn about how to care for your 360KnifeBlock™ Knife Block on our FAQ page.
Deep black color starts with our quarter sawn American walnut wood with careful furniture grade staining process in our own woodshop:
- Hand rub on a furniture grade black stain let it rest for 24 hours.
- The next day we lightly sand every side and re-apply a second coat of black again let it rest overnight.
- On the third day we apply the first coats of Emmitt’s “Good Stuff” food safe butcher-block finish and let rest overnight (again).
- Fourth day, before we package up the blocks we rub each black 360KnifeBlock™ with Howards wood conditioner to keep it looking black and lush while it makes it way to you.
Regular oiling with any mineral oil will keep your black block looking fresh for a lifetime.
