This simple unit provides safe, convenient, and attractive countertop storage for three Cuisinart blades and three cutting disks. It's designed to be used as stand-alone storage or side by side with Cuisinart's supplemental disk holder. The effective tamper-resistant locking device must be pulled out and twisted 90 degrees to access the cutting tools, and it automatically relocks when the lid is closed. Blades cannot be accessed via the open bottom, and disks can only be removed through the locking top. Moreover, when all three storage slots are occupied, the cutting edges of each disk are completely protected. Each blade holder is shaped to snugly fit its designated blade. High-impact plastic and external surfaces are smooth and curved to facilitate cleaning. --Toni Reineke
Product Description
Rummaging around a kitchen drawer for the right slicing blade can be a risky undertaking. The solution to disorganization and possible bodily injury is this specially designed holder.

 Nice to have. November 10, 2008
Lori A. Wilhide (Spencer, NY United States)
I should have given this one more star, but it won't let me change it...I couldn't believe that my husband got me this along with my processor, because of the price. I thought I could throw stuff in a drawer and save the [...]. That seems really steep, the only thing is, there is no better way to store these items. I can't believe how nice it is to have all the pieces in one place and not have to search for them and risk cutting yourself. It really is great for being organized and safe. I don't think a child could open it, I even have trouble! I wonder if the latch will last a long time. It seems to act weird and sometimes I can't get it to snap shut without pushing really hard. I'm scared I'm going to break it. It's almost impossible to open if you have wet hands, the gizmo is so small and slippery. I do love the item though, and I guess once the money is spent, I don't worry about it, and only enjoy the slickness of having everything that I need several times a week ready and waiting in one very organized holder.
Useful but flawed October 23, 2008
David Moore (TN USA)
I like the idea of this holder and it does an adequate job but it has a few flaws that should be corrected in future models of this unit.
The 1st issue is that this should hold ALL your blades and disks in 1 holder which this is incapable of doing due to severely limited disk slots, only 1 additional disk slot over what shipped with my processor and I already have 3 more disks than this unit can accommodate.
The 2nd issue is the dough blade falls out almost every time I open the unit, because of issue 3.
Issue 3 it takes 2 hands to open the lock unit, locking unit should be redesigned to allow for single hand opening without picking the entire storage unit up. Granted my unit is new and the lock may wear in to allow this over time, tho I doubt it.
 Locked Itself- Permanently! September 11, 2008
demari18 (Fort Worth, TX)
A blade holder is a great idea. I like the idea that it keeps the blades safe. Unfortunately, my disc holder locked itself permanently and I had to take the unit apart to get to my blades and discs. Cuisinart needs to upgrade the quality of the locking mechanism.
 Nice Addition September 8, 2008
happy customer
Cuisinart Blade and Disc HolderGreat addition and nice storage unit. Case can be difficult to open with switch; however, that is the design. Really beats digging in drawers for blades; also helps prevent cuts and keeps blades cleaner.We will purchase more as we acquire more blades; Very impressed with Cuisinart products.
 BE CAREFUL!!! September 8, 2008

This product works well in storing your blades and other parts, but good luck getting them out of there! Once the top closes, it locks shut, preventing your items from jumping out? In order to unlock the lid you have to pull this teeny tiny knob and then turn it WHILE you are pulling. The problem here is that there is no grip on this knob, and if you are in the kitchen, half the time your hands are soaking wet or greasy, so with no grip on this knob, you can run into some trouble. To alleviate this problem, I've replaced the knob with one similar to that of pin ball shooter, it has a convex shape with a knob at one end, giving you better leverage when opening the lid.
There is just one last thing I will say about this too, BE CAREFUL WHEN PICKING IT UP. Don't put your hand through the bottom like I did and slice open your finger!!! There is no base to the base of this product, meaning when you pick it up from the bottom, all the blades are protruding from beneath it!
I'm giving this thing 2 stars, one for doing it's job of storing things, and one for the price. The other three missing stars are for the horrible design flaws in this item.
