Joseph Joseph LockBlock

6 knives, multi colour, 14.3 x 17.5 x 24 cm This knife block set lets you store sharp knives safely on the kitchen worktop, the innovative design locks the knives safely inside the block and requires an adult-sized hand to operate it, meaning most children aged 5 and under will be unable to remove any knife.

The LockBlock™ and knife set is perfect for parents with little ones running around the kitchen. As each knife is placed inside a knife slot, its blade is held securely by the unique childproof mechanism. Pulling on a knife only increases the force of the grip so knives cannot be simply forced out of the block.
To remove a knife from LockBlock™, the release button, situated on either side for left and right-handed operation, needs to be firmly pressed. But due to its position and the force required to press it, only someone with an adult-sized hand can do this. The mechanism inside won’t damage expensive knife blades as it has a smooth rubber surface.

The LockBlock™ and knife set includes six high quality knives made from Japanese 420J2 stainless steel. Their ergonomic handles have a textured grip and a large bolster to protect fingers. They are also colour-coded to match their corresponding slot in the block, making it easy to find the right slot.
