Nerdy Science in the Kitchen

Totally Bamboo In-Drawer Knife Block Review

Published:

Updated:


I was house sitting for some friends who have a massive kitchen – like the size of a small apartment in New York. It’s huge and probably about the size of the apartment that I live in.

The point is they had space.

A lot of kitchen storage space and plenty of drawers. If you have a big kitchen, then the Totally Bamboo system may be perfect for you.

The big thing here is that a knife block like this will keep your knives from banging around in a drawer. That keeps the knives sharper (since they won’t bump into other things).

Quality Bamboo Knife Block

In a small shop in NoHo of North Hollywood, California, Tom Sullivan and Joanne Chen stumbled upon the wonders of bamboo when they set out to design a director’s chair with the material.

The chair they created was much lighter and stronger than previous chairs made of oak. They soon discovered that bamboo is also harder than maple which makes it a perfect material for kitchen utensils such as cutting boards.

Totally Bamboo was launched and quickly became the première manufacturer of bamboo products. Today we’ll be taking a look at the in-drawer knife block, a wonderful gadget that lies right inside your kitchen drawer and frees up your precious counter space.

Dimensions and Capacity

This versatile knife block can hold up to fifteen knives in its grooves and measures 17-inches long by 5.29-inches wide and 2-inches high. It fits into most drawers in a standard kitchen to keep your counters clutter-free and your fingers safe.

Construction

Constructed of high quality Moso bamboo, the Totally Bamboo in-drawer knife block is an atheistically pleasing addition to any kitchen. Of over 1200 species of bamboo, Moso is chosen for its versatility, strength and durability. As the fastest growing plant on Earth, bamboo is a natural alternative to wood.

Bamboo is actually a grass that helps prevent soil erosion with its widespread root systems and reduces carbon dioxide gases due to producing more oxygen than a forest of trees of the same size.

Maintenance

The knife block is easy to maintain – simply wash by hand with warm water. Occasionally, you’ll want to use Totally Bamboo’s Revitalizing Oil to extend the life and beauty of your product. With proper care and maintenance, your Totally Bamboo in-drawer knife block will remain intact and functional for many years.

Boasting exemplary customer service, they will refund your money if you are not satisfied with a product. The company will do whatever it takes to ensure customer satisfaction.

What Users Think

The Totally Bamboo works great if you have plenty of drawer space. If you don’t, then you might struggle getting these to fit in your kitchen.
