Abstract
A knife holder for holding a knife includes a block defining a cavity to receive the knife, and a casing removably arranged inside the cavity and adapted to be locked with the block. The knife is removably arranged inside the casing. A lock structure locks the casing with the block to prevent the removal of the casing from the cavity. Moreover, a switch is adapted to be actuated by a user to enable an unlocking of the casing from the block to enable a removal of the casing from the block. A near field communication device is configured to determine a presence of an authorized user in a vicinity of the knife holder and facilitates an unlocking of the casing from the block in response to an actuation of the switch in the presence of the authorized user in the vicinity of the knife holder.
