Drew Barrymore just made a knife and cutting board a decorative accessory – she says it's the chicest bundle you can use (and it's under $40)

When it comes to kitchen essentials, we would say that knives and cutting boards come out at the top of the list. That's why we are always on the hunt for knife blocks and boards that are just as stylish as they are practical.

As usual, Drew Barrymore's Beautiful line meets the mark with their knife block and cutting board duo (available via Walmart), which Barrymore herself recently discussed in a clip posted to her Instagram page.

'I'm really excited because I love our knives,' she says in the video as she unboxes the bundles. 'The block is really nice on your counter. What I love about these knives is the color. I just love the way they look. I love that the blade is monochromatic to the handle. There's every type that you could need.' The entire Beautiful by Drew Barrymore line lives up to this ideology, as all her products are designed to be as beautiful as they are functional. However, we'd say that nothing epitomizes this idea quite like this bundle – and you can shop it below.

The aesthetics of the knives are definitely a selling point. Coming in monochromatic black or white finishes, the blades are sleek and uniform, finished off with an elegant gold accent. In fact, she even declared the knives 'the most chic bundle you’ve ever seen' in the caption of the Instagram post. We are inclined to agree.

The 14-piece set includes an 8-inch chef knife, 8-inch slicing knife, 5.5-inch serrated utility knife, 5-inch serrated Santoku knife, 3.5-inch paring knife, 4.5-inch steak Knives, and an all-purpose shear. The soft grip handles allow for easy use, while the stainless steel blades are stick-resistant, ensuring that food does not stay on the knife while chopping.

The wood cutting block, meanwhile, is a classic piece that fits into a variety of kitchen design styles; it works particularly well in design schemes that favor natural materials, such as organic modern and Japandi.

Knife bundle aside, some more of our Beautiful by Drew kitchen favorites are currently among the best Black Friday homes deals – with some products, including her Ceramic Non-Stick Cookware Set (on Walmart), enjoying significant discounts that make her collection even more accsessible.
