A block for holding, storing and, if desired, sharpening knives is disclosed. The block includes a body member, at least one and, preferably, a plurality of elongated housing members disposed within the body member. Each housing member includes an open end and defines a cavity within the body member for receiving a knife blade through the open end. Sharpening means are rigidly and angularly disposed within the cavity at a position proximate the open end. The knife blade can be introduced into the elongated housing member in or out of engagement with the sharpening means. When introduced into the elongated housing member in engagement with the sharpening means, it engages the sharpening means at a predetermined angle of orientation, so that the edge of the blade becomes honed while encountering a minimal degree of resistance when being introduced into the elongated housing member.
