Ten years ago, in a knife store, I saw a knife block that was like this:

But it was just a wire frame. The advantage, especially in our humid (moldy) climate, is that you could put a knife in it when it was still wet, and it would air dry.

It was $50, so I didn't buy it. Now, I'd like to get one, but I've searched high and low with no luck. Anyone seen anything like this?
 
Like you, I couldn't find anything remotely like that online. It was either a novelty item or it wasn't popular enough to stay on the market. If corrosion and mildew is a concern, you might try one of the many magnetic knife racks. I found one that looked interesting:

I Googled "wire knife rack" and several came up (there was a lot of stuff that wasn't relevant as well!).
 
Here's the knife storage solution I just finished:

It works great in that I don't need to dry the knives.

I got the four magnetic strips for about a $1 each (shipped from China). They aren't very strong, but in that configuration, they are strong enough.

Why wouldn't you want to dry your knives? :angel:
