We purchased this block after deciding that a) We had more knives then our old block could hold b) We had upgraded our knives to Henckels c) It looked fairly attractive in the picture.

This item looks great in the picture, what we received left us feeling a little disappointed. The picture illustrates nice wood grain with even finish and a 'beechwood' quality texture. What we received was a block with uneven finish, made from birch (I think). (Made in Canada) Much less attractive than illustrated.

There are an adequate number of slots for a basic knife selection. However, forget about using the carving fork slot unless you have a Henckels fork. Most other forks have a curved surface and won't fit the slot (we tried). Not so bad since it can be used for a sharpening steel instead.

All in all, not a bad purchase for the price. It's functional, but loses points for attractiveness.

Attractive block with a Henckels' logo to inspire brand loyalty ;-). Looks good and does its job well. Holds a honing steel, kitchen shears, two large bladed knives, four medium bladed knives, and two small bladed knives. Some items may stick out the back, but the open-backed design grants the luxury of not having to worry about blade length (this may be common in knife blocks, but this is my first one).

I was disappointed after receiving this item; as I was expecting a true J.A. Henckels quality knife storage block. The block is fair quality but made in China, and I will need to finish and oil it to make it truly presentable. Disappointed.

We bought this when we bought a few more knives. Very happy with the quality, it is solid and the coloring is as described.

There are little rubber pads on the bottom which keep it stable and prevent it from scratching your counter-top. The only issue is that the block can really only hold 8" knifes at the longest. The holes for the knifes extend all the way to the back of the block, and if you try holding an extra long large cleaver or bread-knife it will poke out the bottom.
