Knife/cutlery block set Joseph Joseph LockBlock

The Joseph Joseph LockBlock 7-piece knife/cutlery block set provides a secure, countertop storage solution for sharp knives. The LockBlock mechanism locks blades inside the block and requires an adult-sized hand to release, helping to prevent children aged around five and under from removing knives. The set contains six knives made from Japanese 420J2 stainless steel with ergonomic, textured handles and a colour-coding system that matches each knife to its slot in the block.

Advantages

The LockBlock system holds each blade securely with a smooth rubber surface that grips without damaging the edge; pulling a blade increases the grip rather than releasing it. Release buttons are positioned on both sides for left- and right-handed use and require firm pressure, so only adults can operate them. Colour-coded handles and slots make it simple to identify and return each knife to its place, while the large bolsters protect fingers during handling.

Suitable for

• Home kitchens with young children where safe knife storage is required
• Parents who need a compact, secure knife storage solution on the worktop
• Everyday food preparation and general cooking tasks

How to use

Place each knife blade into the matching colour-coded slot in the LockBlock until the mechanism engages and the blade is held securely. To remove a knife, press the release button firmly on the side corresponding to your handedness and then pull the knife upwards. Ensure the button is fully pressed before lifting; the mechanism is designed to increase grip when a blade is pulled rather than to release under tension.

Usage recommendations

Keep the LockBlock set on a stable, level worktop out of reach of children. Clean blades and handles according to the manufacturer’s care instructions and avoid forcing the release button with small or weak hands; only adults should operate the release. Regularly check the block and mechanism for debris and clean the rubber gripping surface gently to maintain safe operation.
