12.31.17 update: smoothed edges, fixed errors, and added hole for nail or tack. Added skeletonized version.
A scaled down sword stand for your kitchen swords... I mean knives. Might be a little too big for some printers, It had to be printed at an angle on my CR-10. It was designed in blender as a means to replace the knife block which takes up counter space and can not be cleaned on the inside where it is likely filthy. This stand takes up virtually zero counter space so feel free to put a cutting board right in front of it! It's light weight and minimalist. One nail in the top center support should hold it firmly if the bottom is resting on the counter plane. Make sure the tabs of the horizontal supports are inserted as to keep the rear (against the wall side) flush with the vertical stands, it will be a snug fit.
