The WÜSTHOF 15-Slot Black Knife Block offers a safe and convenient way to store your knives and includes a slot for your honing steel and kitchen shears.

The overall design is questionable and reflects a lack of imagination. In particular, the slot for the scissors is very awkward, and removing the scissors when there are knives in the slots above and below it is, at best, annoying. Also, if it is more sanitary and better for retaining life sharpness for the slots to be horizontal, why are the steak knives slots at the bottom vertical? I have been a loyal Wusthof purchaser for decades, and this is my first major disappointment. Perhaps I will have to shop around and look for a replacement block? Lastly, when I tried to revise my review, your system would not let me change my initial selection!! Did not one quality check your software program? This is discouraging.. Idelle H..

The WÜSTHOF 17-Slot Black Knife Block offers a safe and convenient way to store your knives and includes a slot for your honing steel and kitchen shears.

The Wusthof one is well-constructed and safer to use than out previous one. Linda B.. Fri May 01 2026

The walnut slotted knife block is a true design object that also happens to be practical. Made of gorgeous dark walnut wood. It holds up to 12 knives of up to 9.8" blade length. Fits even in smaller spaces thanks to its compact 5.4" square footprint.

FALSE ADVERTISING. May hold 12 STEAK knives, but can only hold 1 normal size kitchen knife per slot. Knives sit very loose either way. This product is under review from Wayfair for numerous people having the same issue. Do not buy. They attempted to charge me $15.00 to return ship the item. Called, customer service was accommodating, and now returning for a full refund.. Anonymous. Thu Sep 19 2024

Pretty. But didn’t hold my knives like I wanted to. Only two on each side. I was hoping to to three. Tiffany. Wellington, FL. Sat Jun 04 2022

A timeless design object for your kitchen counter. Have your favorite knives within arm's reach. Invisible magnetic strips securely hold up to 10 knives (9" max. blade length). Sanitary (unlike dropping the knives into the slots of conventional blocks). Solid ash wood, stainless steel base that will not scratch your counter.

This is absolutely one of the coolest knife holders and I absolutely love it!. Shelli. Santa Rosa Beach, FL. Thu Jan 22 2026
