If you want to escalate hygiene and cleanliness in your kitchen, then the ABS knife block is just the thing you had been wanting for so long. Utilising safe UV-C light, which by the way is the same technology used in hospitals to kill surface bacteria on instruments. And we know from General Knowledge that the cutlery in hospital canteen is 99.99% free of food bacteria in a matter of just 20 seconds.

The heart of this technology is a small ultraviolet bulb that is capable of cleaning knives up to 8 3/4″ long from tip to the bolster. And by cleaning we mean eliminating all pathogens like salmonella, listeria and staphylococcus which are the known causes of contamination and food-borne illnesses.

So, all you have to do is just rinse the knives and place them in the knife block. The heat being produced from the bulb both dries as well as sanitizes the knives in a jiffy. The ABS kife block has five slots to make place for serrated, boning and pairing knives plus there is a wide opening to hold on to kitchen shears.
