A knife holder comprising:
- a first portion comprising an outer wall, a first opening defined by an inner wall, a first portion cavity, and a tapered surface extending across the inner wall into the first opening, the first portion cavity defined between the inner wall and the outer wall;
- a second portion comprising a first open end, a second end, an outer wall, and a receiver cavity extending between the first open end and the second end, the first open end configured for coupling with the first portion;
- a side aperture in the outer wall, the side aperture extending from proximate the first open end to a drain aperture in the second end,
- wherein the first opening, and the first open end are in fluid communication with one another when the first portion is coupled to the second portion such that an elongate utensil can be received within both the first portion and received within the second portion, and
- wherein the first open end of the second portion is coupleable to the first portion cavity of the first portion.

An assembly comprising:
- a drying rack comprising a first end and a second end, a first rod and a second rod positioned away from the first rod by a gap distance, the first rod and the second rod parallel to one another and each extending between the first end and the second end and each defining a rod width;
- and
- a knife holder comprising:
- a first portion comprising an outer wall, a first opening defined by an inner wall, a first portion cavity, and a tapered surface extending across the inner wall into the first opening, the first portion cavity defined between the inner wall and the outer wall;
