I really want to love this item - but it has a serious, dangerous flaw
By Jessica Spurling
This *seems* to be the perfect knife block. It's attractive, the size is perfect, and it holds my knives just right.. But even though I'd been warned about this by another amazon reviewer and had thought I'd carefully set my knives in it to make it balanced more heavily toward the back, one time when removing a knife the whole thing tipped forward, spilling all my knives out onto the counter. Thank goodness the knife block was back in the corner and not near the edge of the counter at the time, and thank goodness I'm fairly nimble & coordinated and managed to keep all the knives on the counter & none of them on my feet, without getting cut. I've got several very sharp knives.. this was a pretty scary moment! I am worried about the rest of my family - if someone else gets hurt I'll feel somewhat responsible as I chose this knife block, nixing others as too ugly, too massive (well now I see why massive is perhaps a good idea for a knife block!) or not holding the right number of knives. This knife block is in every other way perfect for what I want - but unless I can come up with a way to make it more stable, I won't be able to keep using it. I'm going to try making the back part of the base heavier. Maybe I can attach something at the back/bottom that will hold it down. If I figure something out that I'm happy with, I'll update my review.

Attractive but...
By R. Anderson
I was excited to find a block that would accomodate all my knives without damage, and was attractive to look at and take up less counter space. When it arrived my first thought was that it seemed very lightweight and less than stable. For the price, I expected something sturdier. But, I went ahead and put in my knives (ten of them) and knife steel. I have top quality knives that are fairly heavy in weight. The information from most sellers as well as the maker indicates it will hold 40 knives or other utensils. It won't come even close to that unless you are storing tiny items (perhaps silverware sized). While it may technically have slots for forty items, due to needing some space for the handles to fit, as well as just allocating room for the thickness of the blades so as not to have to cram any in there, I could perhaps use every third slot or so. Having put all eleven items into the stand, I let go. It immediately tipped forward and fell onto the counter. All of the heavier knives were placed at the top, all the small ones at the bottom. After removing everything and putting them back, spacing the knives far more closely than I would like (makes getting them out and putting them back a hassle as the handles are now very close together), it will stand on its own, but I certainly wouldn't call it stable and it makes me a bit nervous. If I put anything in the lower quarter of the block (even a paring knife) it tips forward again. Maybe I can attach it to some sort of platform to stabilize it? Nice idea, poor execution, and definitely a case of form prioritized over function. If you want something pretty for your five lightweight knives, buy it. If (like me) you want something that is also functional and sturdy, don't waste the money.

Great product!
By MM
The only other knife block that gives you complete control over the knife sizes is the Kaboosh, which I really disliked. This takes up minimal counter space, is easy to use and is easy to keep organized.I just ordered a second one and I was a little frustrated that it is a slightly different angling than the one I bought last year. For the angles to match I needed to put 2 rubber bumpers on the bottom of the new one, but that is nothing negative about the block. It was so useful that I wanted a second one; I keep Kosher, and can have 2 knife blocks in less width on my counter than a single wooden one.Easy to use and fully customizable to any knife size, and it takes up less counter space and the interior is washable if it gets grimy in the future. It is a bit pricey, ut the convenience is worth the expense, especially since it is a one time cost.
