However, as with many aspects of parenting, as the years have gone by, we have become more and more lax (partially due to trust... and partially due to laziness).
Even though I know my kids well enough to know that they are both extremely responsible, that doesn't mean that it doesn't make me feel like I'm not exactly doing a stellar job as a mother when I open my own silverware drawer and it looks like this:
Ignoring the fact that the drawer is a disorganized mess, what am I thinking with multiple sharp knives mixed right in where my daughters reach to grab their forks and spoons? Am I just asking for them to accidentally slice their fingers off?
Up until recently, I would have had to move the knives to a different drawer or put them into a holder sitting on the counter. While either of those options would have worked, I was thrilled to instead be introduced to a convenient, versatile option that has solved the problem even better: KnifeDock.
Available in an Original 6" x 15" x 2½" high size and a Deluxe 13" x 15" x 2½" high option (as well as Cutlery Tray and Utensil Tray designs), the KnifeDock is the all-in-one holder that is designed to fit every different type and size knife you own.
Whether you're like me and looking for more organization and safety, or you simply want a way to remove your stash of knives from being an eyesore on the counter, it only takes a few minutes to put your KnifeDock in place to do it all.
After measuring my mess of a silverware drawer and finding that the KnifeDock Original would be the best fit, I couldn't wait to get it in and start using it.
Right away I appreciated that this bamboo tray was made from sustainable and recycled materials, and the way that the large number of flexible, cork-like dividers ensured that I could adapt the KnifeDock no matter which knives I chose to rest in it.
After removing all of the utensils and other miscellaneous items from our drawer (how many plastic straws does one family actually need??), I replaced our silverware tray and easily slid the KnifeDock right in next to it.
As I placed our knives right into their slots, I could already tell that the KnifeDock was going to be a great fit in our household. Easy, foolproof, adjustable to accommodate almost any blade, no effort required — this is my kind of organization.
In no time at all, my safety hazard jumble of a drawer was transformed into something so much better:
Perfection!
I couldn't be happier with the improvement that the KnifeDock as provided in our lives! In the time since its arrival, I no longer have to dig around for the knife that I need or worry that my kids will accidentally hurt themselves on a daily basis.
Instead, each knife easily rests vertically in the tray, allowing for easy visual identification to pull it right out, and I anticipate that each one will have an increased usage span from less times being bumped, banged or dulled as it slides around in the drawer.
Retailing for $29.99 for the KnifeDock Original, $48.99 for the KnifeDock Deluxe and $39.99 for the KnifeDock with Cutlery Tray or with Utensil Tray) this innovative and unique product can be purchased directly from KnifeDock.com, on Amazon, as well as found in Williams-Sonoma, The Container Store, and Bed, Bath, and Beyond.
