This Old Hickory knife rack holds 5 knives and measures approximately 14" long (not counting the rope), 6-3/4" wide and is 2" deep. It may be made of hickory as it seems quite hard, but I am not an expert on wood. The back has slots where it can hang or the rope on top can be used. It could also just sit on the cupboard or a shelf if you so choose. This auction is for a rack only. To my knowledge the company still makes knives but these racks are no longer available. Questions will generally be answered in the evenings. Please take a moment to check out my other items. Thank you.
