Review on 19 Slot Bamboo Knife Storage Block by Cook N Home by David Gonzalez

Before that I had a great knife holder with a set of medium kitchen knives (maybe Faberware?) that we got as a wedding present and then I kept the 'good' knives for myself. (a hybrid of Henckels and Wüsthof) in a drawer covered with homemade cardboard guard blades. Ghetto but effective. I also kept 4 steak knives (Chicago Metropolitans cutlery) in the "good knife" drawer. This went on for many years until one day I decided I wanted 4 more steak knives in case we had guests over for dinner. With 8 steak knives in a good knife box, it suddenly became a real challenge to find a paring knife. I needed a block to fit my 8 steak knives and this one was just right. It was packaged well and the quality is certainly good enough for my low standards. My steak knives fit perfectly in the grooves. My honing machine is placed in the top left corner. My splitter is placed at the top right. The only thing silly about the knife slots is that my kitchen shears fit in the bottom center hole, but then the handles block the bottom left and right slots. Stupid. Move the scissor slot to the side. Small but annoying. Still plenty of room for my 2 chef's knives, a boning knife, bread knife and a paring knife. Looks attractive on the counter. I call it victory.
