The present invention provides a knife block apparatus in combination with different utilities, such as a speaker and/or a display device, resulting in a compact and portable apparatus that saves floor space and provides different utilities in a single apparatus.

The knife block apparatus may optionally contain a computing device and a display for playing videos and other culinary content, such as recipes. The apparatus is elegant and commercially advantageous through playing coded culinary content from sponsors.
