(no knives included) Stay organized while maximizing counter space. The MIYABI 12-slot Bamboo Knife Block holds up to 10 knives with extra slots for a pair of scissors and sharpening steel. Keep all your kitchen essentials within reach for fast, efficient prep work. This stylish knife block is crafted from natural bamboo, an attractive, durable wood that resists water penetration, staining, and knife scarring. Ideal for blades both big and small.
Overall an excellent block, particularly if you have multiple larger knives.
Pros:
Good looks.
Quality wood (bamboo).
Narrower than most blocks that hold similar amounts of knives.
Fits more wide blades than typical.
Cons:
The opening for the honing steel is a bit small, and if your steel has a guard to protect your fingers, it may cover from 1-3 knife slots partially.
Longer base than many knife blocks.. Nick. Gaithersburg, MD. Tue Sep 06 2022
