If in your house there are many knives, and they all lie on different shelves or cabinets, then here you are. Today we will tell you how to make a wonderful, and most importantly, easy to adapt, stand from bamboo chopsticks for knives. Many knife holders are uncomfortable in that they are difficult to wash and clean from crumbs. The same stand for your knives will be just perfect: absolutely all knives are easily inserted and taken into it.
So what do you need:
- bamboo sticks (it is advisable to buy several packs at once),
- wooden or clay container,
- the knives themselves.

This is the end of our list of materials. As you can see, everything comes out cheaply and angrily.
Step 1. First you need to choose bamboo skewers. They can be all kinds of lengths. Therefore, when you choose the material for your stand, focus on the size of the largest knife.
Step 2. After the sticks with skewers are in your hands, open them and send them to the container that you prepared in advance. But, note that your tank must have a flat and even bottom, and the walls should be located in relation to the bottom at an angle of 90 degrees. Because otherwise your knives will not be fixed in the stand. Fig. 2
Step 3. Now take and send skewers to your vessel. Insert them there until they stand very tightly packed. Personally, I needed 15 packs of such sticks on my dish (they go 100 pieces in each pack). But you see for yourself which dish you will take: less dish - less skewers. Fig. 3, 4
Step 4. And now we pass to the most important thing. You need to insert your knives correctly in the resulting stand. But, note that you do not need to insert knives from top to bottom. Bamboo skewers themselves have a flat base. Therefore, if a knife blade gets into them, it can bounce and hurt you. Insert knives into such a stand only with the blade away from you on the side of the stand itself. Now you can direct the blade in this way and directly press on the knife itself.Thus, he will easily enter your new stand. Some skewers may vary slightly in height. Therefore, if you have a desire, you can trim them. But believe me. From this, your knives will not stand worse in the stand. Fig. 5
Step 5. If you decide to wash such a stand, you just need to remove the sticks from it, rinse it under running water, dry it and put it back in the vessel. If the sticks crack or spoil, you can easily replace them with new ones.
Use with pleasure!
