Hardwood Knife Block – The Chain
Solid hardwood construction
No veneers or composite materials
Designed for modern kitchens
Ships ready to use
Inspired by the enduring rhythm of Fleetwood Mac’s “The Chain,” this solid-wood knife block brings together disciplined form, material honesty, and everyday utility. Its vertical profile keeps blades organized and accessible while maintaining a clean, minimal footprint on the counter.
Crafted from a single species of premium American hardwood, such as white oak, walnut, cherry, or maple, The Chain highlights the natural character of the wood through simple geometry and precise detailing. The standard configuration holds five knives, with proportional spacing designed to accommodate a range of blade styles.
Each slot is carefully cut and finished to protect edges and keep knives separated during daily use. Ebony-toned dividers provide subtle contrast while helping prevent contact between blades. At approximately 10 ¼″ tall and 3 ¼″ deep, the block offers substantial presence without overwhelming the workspace.
Designed to age gracefully with use, The Chain is meant to be both functional and visually grounding, an accessory that earns its place on the counter through restraint, durability, and thoughtful construction.
Custom materials or sizing options may be available upon request.
