[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, in the conventional cooking utensil storage device, when the knife 52 is rotated and locked, depending on the type of the knife 52, there is no gap between the handle 52a and the tongue piece 52b, so that the knife 52 cannot be rotated. I had the problem that there was a knife that I couldn't.
[0006]
Further, when the knife 52 is rotated to the original position in order to take out the knife 52, there is a problem that a large force is required to overcome the rotationally biased spring.
[0007]
On the other hand, when the cover 53 is moved to cover the entire upper portion of the knife 52, the entire upper portion of the storage device 54 needs to be covered by the cover 53. Therefore, the sliding amount of the cover 53 when the knife 52 is taken out is small. There was a problem that it was very difficult to take out. Further, since a large amount of material for the cover 53 is required, there is a problem that the cost is increased.
