The UV Knife Block for Hospital-Clean Knives

You don't have to be a cleanness-freak to admit that germs are able to survive on your kitchenware even after you've thoroughly washed it by hand or in the toughest cycle of your dishwashing machine. Now, some individuals can live with that, but others are really having a hard time using kitchen utensils they know not to be as clean as they look. Thanks to the UV Knife Block, even these persons can now enjoy cooking time after time, with no more fear of microbes surviving on their knives and lurking around their food.

The UV Knife Block is a nifty kitchen gadget whose sole purpose is to eliminate any living germ from your knives, leaving them as clean and sterile as they could ever be.

In fact, inside the UV Knife Block you can find a professional-grade UV module, which is pretty much similar to the sterilization modules you'd expect to find in hospitals, preparing the surgery tools for interventions. The UV-C light emitted by the special lamp is said to destroy 99.99% of food bacteria and viruses, which may find shelter on your cutlery, in around 20 seconds, making the UV Knife Block a very efficient tool as well.

You can use the contraption to sterilize knives up to 8.75''-long (blade length), and even other utensils that can fit in one of the device's 5 slots. This gadget is crafted from durable ABS, and can accommodate chef's, serrated, boning, and pairing knives, as well as kitchen shears or a honing steel. All you have to do is plug the UV Knife Block to AC, and start it.

If you're that afraid of germs and bacteria, you can buy this UV tool for as low as $40, here. Just don't tell your guests what your cleaning habits are, unless you can make it sound like a joke, or they'll most likely skip future dinners at your place. The UV Knife Block can be a very handy tool in restaurants, though. Bon apetit!
