LockBlock Self Locking Knife Block

LockBlock Self Locking Knife Block is an innovative kitchen safety solution designed to securely store and protect kitchen knives while preventing unauthorized access, particularly by young children. This groundbreaking design, which earned the prestigious Platinum A' Design Award in the Bakeware, Tableware, Drinkware and Cookware Design category, incorporates a sophisticated Cam-lock mechanism that automatically secures knife blades when inserted into the block. The system's ingenious design requires an adult-sized hand to operate the dual-release buttons positioned on either side of the unit, making it exceptionally child-resistant, with testing showing that 96 percent of children aged five and under were unable to remove the knives. The product features a durable construction combining ABS plastic exterior and interior components with a resin lid and rubber-lined mechanism, ensuring both functionality and longevity. Measuring 5.51 inches in depth and width, with a height of 14.17 inches, the block offers universal knife slots to accommodate existing kitchen knives or can be purchased as a complete set with six high-quality knives. The unique safety mechanism operates on a principle where attempting to forcefully remove a knife only increases the gripping force, providing an additional layer of security. This innovative approach to knife storage represents a significant advancement in kitchen safety design, addressing the critical concern of keeping sharp implements secure in households with young children while maintaining convenient access for adult users.
