Miyabi 12-slot Bamboo Knife Block, no knives included

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.

seems well made, but does not suit my needs.

The knife block fits all of my knives and blends in perfectly on the kitchen countertop. The only flaw is a small nick in the block near the logo that occurred in transit.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We purchased this to add additional knives to A Miyabi Artisan set. This block has additional slots for larger as well as smaller knives. It is a well crafted slim design, beautiful on the counter

This is a great block. The rounded bamboo design adds a softness to my countertop. It has plenty of slots for all of my knives and even a place for scissors.
