The knife block is made in Malaysia with typical hardwood. Nothing fancy. It's good for the price. What matters is that 19 slots, especially a slot for a cleaver that I really need it. It holds 2 santoku knives very well. The 8 steak knives slots are very useful that use to store paring and peeling knives instead. Also easy to acccess and grab the knives. It looks big in the picture and it is a lot bigger than my old standard block, but it doesn't take much more room since I put it in the corner. Happy that I bought it.
Excellent packing and shipping August 14, 2007

This knife block was very good quality, and was very well packed. I received it very shortly after I placed the order. I bought this for my daughter who requested one for her birthday present. I had a lot of time to research this on the Internet and found out a lot about knife blocks. One thing is that it's hard to find one without the knives included in the sale. The other is to find a high quality wood and large enough holes because I didn't know what sizes her collection included. I finally chose the one with the best wood (my son-in-law does a lot of wood restoration around their house), the largest one with the most and largest holes, and one with the least advertising on it so they could display it out on their counter where they wanted it. This served all purposes and she was very very pleased with it! I kept the receipt in case she wanted to return it, but she loved it and was using it the very next day.

After years of storing knives in a drawer, putting fingers at risk in searching for the right one, and dealing with consistently dull or damaged cutting edges, I finally decided to "sacrifice" some counter space for a knife block. This one is perfect! My steak and utility knives fit in the front lower slots and are easily accessible. (However, my set of large steak-house style knives have blades that are too wide for the lower slots.) The upper portion of the block holds everything else, including wide-bladed vegetable knives and very long serrated blades like bread knives. The angle of the block is just right for the counter height, neither too high nor too low. The knives set well into the block and don't rattle about or risk spilling out onto the counter. The block is heavy enough that it never moves as I remove or return knives to it. It's great! Just as advertised.
A good buy January 23, 2008

Heavy and sturdily made, doesn't take up much more room on the counter than my old 6-slot Henckels block, and the price is quite reasonable. I am very satisfied with this purchase.

An inexpensive solution to cleaning up your knife drawer, this block holds your knives, kitchen scissors, steak knives, and sharpening steel.
Bargain price is a plus.
