Wooden Knife Block
I broke my parents knife set! The knives are all fine but the block is badly damaged! Where can I buy a wooden knife block online? I mean, they have had this knife set longer than they have had ME so I better have a plan by the time they get home from their trip and I have to tell them what happened. Help!

Look on the one of the knives. There should be some engraving or markings that will tell you who manufactures the knives. Then go on the Internet and search for that name. See if the company has a website and contact information.
Look for a customer service number and call them. Explain what has happened and tell them about the set, number of knives and any accessories. I'm sure if they have any knife blocks that fit that set they will sell you one or they may just send a replacement free of charge depending on how the one you damaged was damaged.
Don't despair too much these things happen. Knife blocks are generally made of wood and over the years the tend to dry out. If dropped for a counter they will crack. If that is what happened to you it could just as well happened to you mom or dad.
So to a search and make a call. If that doesn't work go to the mall and look at knife block sets in stores that sell them and find a set that is similar to the one you have. Then ask the store personnel to help you get a replacement block from that manufacturer.

You should just tell them the truth. Often, the knife block is worthless, and it's the knives that are expensive.
You can go on amazon, which is your best best. You will not find anything though. This is because, like I said, people do not just buy knife blocks. They buy the knives, and they get the block. Buying a knife block on it's own would be difficult, because they are all different. They are made to the specification of the knives included, i.e. the number of slots needed, the size and depth of the slots are all dependent on the knives you have.
So best option: apologise, and tell them the truth.

Unless the knife block had sentimental value, you shouldn't worry about it. Household utensils aren't meant to last forever. Just tell them the truth and that you will buy a new one. Maybe even a whole new knife set. By the way, how did you break it?
Good Luck.
