If you thought knife blocks couldn’t be fun, think again. The internet has fallen in love with a new 3D-printed watermelon knife block, and honestly, it’s easy to see why. Designed by Gazzaladra—an Instagram creator known for blending nature, art, and 3D photogrammetry—this quirky creation brings a fresh twist (literally) to your kitchen counter.
This clever DIY knife holder looks like a juicy slice of watermelon, complete with realistic rind, flesh, and teardrop-shaped seeds. But it’s not just about looks. The block holds four chunky knives or tools like peelers and honing rods, while smaller knives attach magnetically to the side—thanks to hidden magnets tucked neatly behind those fake seeds.
What makes it even cooler? The inside is filled with stone chips for weight and drainage. That means your knives drip-dry naturally without creating a mess—pretty genius for a 3D-printed knife block.
Most knife holders are kind of boring. Gazzaladra’s design? Total conversation starter. Whether you go full magnetic on both sides or leave one side clean to show off that sweet watermelon design, this DIY-friendly project is a slice of creativity in your kitchen.
The best part: you can 3D print it yourself. No need to buy a fancy holder when you can make your own fun kitchen accessories like this 3D-printed watermelon knife block. It’s practical, it’s adorable, and it’s exactly the kind of design that makes you smile every time you use it.
