Editorial Reviews and Product Descriptions

Product Description

Dull cutlery is dangerous cutlery. One of the easiest ways to maintain sharp edges on your fine cutlery is to store the knives in a block. An added benefit is that your knives are conveniently ready and waiting for the next time you need to carve a roast or julienne some veggies.
Amazon.com Review

This hardwood block stores up to eight kitchen knives, a sharpening steel, and kitchen scissors within reach on the counter while protecting knife edges from the nicking they would suffer in a drawer. The block is slanted to provide easy access to knife handles and has rubber feet to protect the counter surface. The natural-finish block displays Henckels's famous logo beneath the scissors slot in the front. --Fred Brack

Good for narrow knifes - Reviewed on 2008-09-23

First of all, Amazon claimed the list price is $40 which is not true. I found it at Bed Bath and Beyond and it's regular price is $19.99.

It's hard to tell if your knifes will go in all the slots because several slots are pretty narrow. I couldn't fit all my knifes in because of the narrow slots. If you are not sure if it would work for you, then you should not buy it online and waste the shipping costs both ways.

I am disappointed at Amazon's false price claim.

RETURN ITEM:::
I WAS "TOTALLY" DISAPPOINTED. MY HENCKELS KNIVES DIDN'T FIT "PROPERLY" IN THE SLOTS. I RECOMMEND PURCHASING THE "ENTIRE" SET OF "YOUR CHOICE" OF HENCKEL BLOCK KNIVES.

J.A. Henckels' knife storage block is ok for those of us who look for a workable reasonably priced way of storing knives. The wood is not as highly polished as it appears on the photos and the little Henckels logo block on the front is of a slightly different grain of wood. However, everything matches well enough to put on my new kitchen counter and I enjoy the convenience of countertop storage. The price at $19.99 is reasonable in my opinion for this very functional item.
For twenty bucks you have made a wise purchase! - Reviewed on 2008-02-07

This thing is great, a few bucks and my $140 Shun, $70 Kyocera etc. are bung free and safe... no brainer, nice quality...
Huge unremovable "Free Gift with Purchase" Label - Reviewed on 2008-02-06

I just bought this with some knives to give as a present. I was quite upset to see a huge "Free Gift with Purchase" label plastered all over the front of it. There is no way to remove the label. And there was no mention of this promotion in the item description. I have contacted Amazon customer service and haven't received any response. Just be aware if you're buying this as a gift.
