You will be disappointed!

Very good looking but CHEAP! The magnets are not strong enough. Knives move everywhere and don't stay where you want! It's a lot smaller than I expected. I bought one but the screws wouldn't tighten and the magnets were so weak I returned it hoping I just got a bad one. No, the second one had the same problem and I returned it and bought a Dalstrong magnetic block. This is exactly what I wanted now. Slightly more expensive, but that's the quality! Don't buy this or you will be disappointed.

Pros
  • Fits many
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging

Everything that takes up space on my kitchen table has to pay off.

I also bought new specialty knives (including 2 cleavers, a serrated bread knife, steak knife, 2 paring knives, santuko and cutco scissors) and the large wooden block of knives with storage replacing many useless ones Knife. My workspace is far from ideal and it only occupies 4 or 5 inches and is flush with the wall next to the stove. I had to unscrew 8 screws (Allen key included) and clean the plexiglass and base dusted from the packaging. Very easy to do.

Pros
  • Free for educational purposes
Cons
  • I will add later

This is perfect for our needs

We have recently invested in several quality knives by taking advanced knife courses. beloved knives; tired of using scissors. Were shopping and finally found this product. We love its design, the footprint it takes up on the counter (minimal footprint) and of course its functionality as a knife holder. Acacia is a soft wood, so the knives will not scratch with repeated removal and replacement. In addition, the blades of the knife are 100% protected, so you won't accidentally cut yourself if…

Pros
  • Large selection
Cons
  • Approximately

Looks good in the photos but the wood is cracked and worn.

I really wanted to like this knife block. It's functional, looks good (from a distance) and shows off my knives. However, the block of wood has already been unpacked and looks old around the edges, as if it had been sanded down. In some places the wood had chipped off the edges. At such a high price, that's unforgivable. Not sure if I got the used block from someone else or something, but I've read in other reviews that people who got replacements got even worse after a few replacements. Too…

Pros
  • Excellent construction
Cons
  • Almost everything is fine

Disappointing quality of the wood surface

I've been waiting for this knife deck. The design is fantastic - magnetic to avoid damaging the blade, with an acrylic sleeve to protect it. The magnet is quite strong but with the acrylic guard installed I wasn't worried about the knives dangling. Most disappointing, however, was the quality of the wood grain. There were noticeable flaws and scratches, the corners looked worn. I ordered another one to see if there was a problem with the one I received but the next one looked even worse. I…

  • Best in the niche

Arrived TWICE with stress breaks (poor design)

We were very excited about this knife block after seeing it at a friend's. PROS: Our reason for purchasing, aside from the aesthetics, was the upright design, which prevents kids from picking up anything other than typical slanted/inclined knife blocks. And because of its size, it takes up less countertop space. CONS: However, we have ordered this item twice and both times it arrived with stress cracks/fractures on the flat plastic surface or near where the screws hold the plastic. to the block

Pros
  • Cool
Cons
  • Neutral
