KITCHEN KNIFE HOLDER AND KITCHEN KNIFE HOLDER APPARATUS

The invention is to provide a hygienic kitchen knife holder allowing frequent storage and taking out to be done safely and reliably during cooking. The kitchen knife holder has a configuration comprising: a holder body for suspending a kitchen knife entirely by holding a top of a spine of the kitchen knife; and a magnet array attached to the holder body, including two or more magnets spaced at an interval and arranged in an array pattern, and used for magnetically supporting the top of the spine of the kitchen knife in a manner allowing the top to be attached and detached freely, wherein the magnet array is arranged at a substantially center position of the holder body in a width direction as viewed from one end of the holder body. Even if a kitchen knife is put in and out of the holder body with a certain degree of roughness during cooking, for example, it is still possible to suspend the kitchen knife reliably, to prevent a lateral surface of the kitchen knife from contacting a wall surface, etc., and to achieve excellent safety for reason such as preventing unintentional detachment of the kitchen knife.
