Brothers Jordan and Jared Schmidt lend a designer's sensibility to both the knives they create and the blocks that stow them. Schmidt Brothers' modern, slender concrete block has an urban-industrial vibe that showcases cutlery while protecting hands from blades. An eclectic mix of concrete-covered wood, magnets and stainless steel come together in the two-sided block that stows up to 8 knives behind protective acrylic. And at only 3 1/2" deep, it takes up minimal counter space, making it ideal for even the most compact kitchens.

• Crafted of concrete-covered wood. 
• Embedded magnets secure knife blades to the block.
• Stainless-steel, non-slip padding.
• BPA-free acrylic safety covers.
• Space-saving, two-sided design holds up to 8 knives.
