Bloc à couteaux à 10 fentes pour chevalet vertical Zwilling JA Henckels Bob Kramer

Online picture clearly shows darker browns. First order stated delivered and never showed up, second order is all light tints of cherry type light reds/browns, no dark browns. Great looking piece but NOT accurate to what is depicted online. Henckels, you can do better than this!!! especially for the price$$$ . Sending back.... Lost confidence. See attached pictures

Solid, heavy, and very cool looking. It's a real space saver if you need to put it under cabinets. Just wish it came in different finishes.

Different design then your typical block knife. Simply gorgeous. Love it. Looks modern and chic.

I like it but it came with a chip. It wasn't worth sending it back but I was disappointed that it was chipped.

Thiis is a much better design than the related easel-style rack, but it still takes a lot of space on a counter or island in a kitchen -- even a large one such as mine! It does hold the precious blades completely horizontal (saving the cutting edges) but for those of us with several large/long beloved knives in regular use, it really only allows to 5 places per side. I think it is a beautiful storage block aesthetically, but I will unfortunately be returning it! Trying to store items in front of the long side makes it hard to access the blades -- especially if you have a kitchen smaller than my large one! If one is especially right or left handed - the 2-sided slots make one inconvenient for those of use who are not ambidextrous... Pretty but not as useful as a wooden block with fully vertical slots for blades at the top

Great knife block, looks great on its own or with the eisel holder.

Arrived with chips and dings in the wood. Glue had started to let go and the wood was separating at the seams. The wood looked like it needed a new coat of stain (dried out). The front of the easel does not have a magnet to display knives.

Good looking in my kitchen however about half of the slots were to wide for any single knife I've seen available so I didn't think it would be very functional for me.

I bought this in conjunction with the magnetic knife holder. I wanted easy access to my favorite knives and adequate storage for my collection. The combination worked well.

I bought this 10 slot walnut knife block as it is a component of the easel that was bought last year. I was so glad to have found this additional piece. Both of these Bob Kramer pieces are gifts for my grandson who is a professional chef. Thanks.
