Why we love this deal

It's hard to cook efficiently without a good knife set — not to mention a sharpener to keep your tools at their best. But if you don't own a set that's housed in a knife block, you may wonder how to best store your knives. Individual sheaths work, but the bigger the collection, the more room it will take up in a drawer.

If you need a storage solution for your knives, check out Amazon's deal on the Hoshanho Magnetic Wooden Knife Block. It looks incredibly chic, is easy to use, and is on sale for $40, saving you $30 off the full retail price.

Why do shoppers love it?

If this knife block looks familiar to you, that's probably because you've seen ones that look similar in high-end home furnishings stores like Crate and Barrel and West Elm. This one is made of a solid slab of acacia wood with a polished surface that's been treated with mineral oil. Both sides are magnetic, so you'll get double the storage space, which is great news if you have an expansive knife collection.

The board weighs just under 6 pounds and has chunky wooden feet that screw into place, which not only ensures that it stays put but further complements its aesthetic appeal. It also comes with non-slip pads for a bit of extra insurance against slippage.
