The knife rest is a small but indispensable table accessory that serves to place table knives in a safe and hygienic way. In addition to being functional, a knife rest can become a decorative element that enriches the aesthetics of your mise en place.

There are numerous types of knife rests, each with different characteristics and styles:

• Blade-shaped: Symbolizes the knife itself and can be made of different materials, such as wood, ceramic or metal.
• Block-shaped: Usually made of wood or ceramic, these knife rests have a hole or slot to insert the knife blade.
• Animal-shaped: A fun and original option, perfect for more informal tables. Knife rests in the shape of a cat, cane, elephant and many other animals are found.
• Object-shaped: they can represent any object, from fruit to vegetables, through to musical instruments or everyday objects.
• Modern and minimalist: Made of materials such as stainless steel or glass, these knife rests adapt to more contemporary furnishing styles.
