Love this knife block, It’s definitely larger than I thought, but I get so many compliments on it!

I LOVE this knife block. That said, I have knocked it over a couple of times producing several potentially dangerous missiles. The block itself is pretty weighty and the magnets strong. I just gave the knife an impatient yank and push-pulled the block and caused it to fall over and continue to the floor. I was most worried about my knives, but they survived, unscathed. I keep my knife block behind my cutting board which stays on the kitchen counter 247. My only complaint is that all of my very sharp knives do not fit on the block. They make another block that might work, but instead I think I’ll put some of my bigger knives in the drawer block for safety’s sake. Great purchase!

I realized I don't like my knives exposed but the block does work

Beautiful piece. Perfect addition to my kitchen. Looking forward to expanding my kitchen knife collection and purchasing another magnetic knife holder.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love that this doubles as a bookend for my cookbooks on the counter! It's beautiful, minimal, and functional. This is a good, study, fairly heavy weight knife block, though I wish it was actually a little heavier. I used to have a knife block that stored knives perpendicularly to the countertop, which is annoying if you're trying to store the knife block under an upper cabinet. I also appreciate that I can store knives on both sides. However, I have noticed some mild scratching on my knives, but that may be because my husband doesn't remember to turn the knife first before pulling it off the block.
