Joseph Joseph LockBlock

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.
