Cook N Home Acacia Wood Knife Storage Block without Knives, 20 Slot Universal Knife Holder Countertop Butcher Block Knife Stand for Easy Kitchen Storage

I have knives from multiple sets and hate that they don't always fit in our current block. The Cook N Home acacia wood block does a great job at holding all of my knives, even the larger chef and santoku knives. The wood has a really nice darkish stain that matches our maple cabinets well and there are plenty of different sized slots for everything from a cleaver to steak and pairing knives. Well made and attractive, Cook N Home designed and built a functional and environmentally friendly knife block that will look amazing in any kitchen.

Very nice quality and holds all my knives beautifully. I love it!

I'd recently bought us some new Shun knives, and it seemed time for a knife block upgrade. Our old one was one of those without slots (it has plastic filaments that let you place any number of knives), and it had gotten twisted internally over the years, so it needed to go.With the new knives, I wanted something that would fit a variety of sizes and that was solid enough to hold up to the occasional grazes from extremely sharp blades, as we tend to get very high quality knives that hold quite an edge. This block turned out to be a great choice. It's made of acacia, a very hard wood, and my concerns over its durability seem misplaced. It's holding up very well after a couple of months of use. Will it look pristine years from now? Time will tell, but I'd bet yes, as it still looks like new and gets a lot of use.It has slots for a variety of knives, a pair of scissors, a sharpening rod, and eight steak knives. With a price just under $30, it's a great buy!

We had two knife sets where we use certain knives out of both sets. Some of those knives in one set are long. This block holds almost all of the knives from both sets. Definitely the ones we use and the longer ones as well. Good quality and nice color.

1.) Overall Quality: It’s not the highest quality, but it looks decent and does the job.2.) Condition Upon Arrival: It arrived with a long scratch on one side, but seeing as things in my kitchen tend to get a little beat up, it wasn’t worth returning just for that. It also had some places where there were machining chips still clinging onto the knife block, but again that wasn’t something worth returning it for.3.) Function: It fits my set of knives nicely, and it’s heavy enough to offset their handle weights. I have a set of Berghoff knives that have some pretty hefty and heavy handles (though they have great balance). I was previously using two universal knife blocks, the universal kind with the plastic fibers to fit any shape or size knives, but they kept tipping over because of the combined handle weight of my knives. This knife block isn’t even close to tipping over, there’s plenty of room for all my knives (I could even put all my steak knives in if I rearranged it some more), and it looks nice, scratch and all.4.) Final verdict: it’s not super fancy, damage-free, or compact. But for the price it is sturdy, holds a lot of different sized knives, is heavy enough to counterbalance heavy handles knives, and it still has a nice appearance. Worth the price, although it may arrive with some damage.

This is hefty, attractive, with adequate slots for knives and a sharpener. Plus, it looks good on the counter.

Enjoying my knife holder. Holds many knives. Easy to put knives in. Love the color. Tamara

Very good quality, good price.
