This knife block is essential for your ceramic knives. This knife block is assembled well and of high class materials. It can be used lying down, mounted on your wall, or in a have to case standing up on end. It is heavy weighing probably 2-1/2 / 3.0 pounds. This my guess as I have weighed the knife block. This knife block is definitely made for the Kyocera knives. It holds three knives maximum.
The price is comfortable @ .15 (approximately). I am very glad I went the distance and ordered this knife block. I highly recommend this Kyocera knife block to anyone who wants to protect their ceramic knives.
I had two knife blocks - one for the most frequently used and the other holding everything else. Having acquired the Shun Utility knive, as well as two Santokus, I needed more large slots than I had in my current block, but did not want slots for steak knives. This one is perfect. Holds the 7" and 5.5" Shun Santokus on the left side if you are facing the block side, the Utility "spreader" knife at the top right, and one of my Wusthof chefs on the right, as well as five smaller knives. The slot for the shears is a little large for my Wusthof shears, but it's fine. Love the bamboo, and mine has the Shun logo on the front.
You may wonder why you would spend three times as much for a wooden spoon. Well, just look at it; it is beautiful in your utensil crock for one thing. Then notice the nicely shaped handle, this is not a "stick" wooden spoon. That handle which curves in, then rounds back out around the hanger hole is obviously much more difficult to make and ends up much more useful than just looks. In fact, the main cook in the house says this is the best spoon ever for stirring thick, heavy foods.
Very nicely burnished, this one hasn't started getting rough and "woody".

No frills, but very classic in appearance, won't clash with anything. The simple zen of napkin holders. The first one I ordered arrived broken, but that was a packaging error that I think Amazon has fixed, the replacement arrived suitably packaged and was in one piece. Decent price, is a little more plain-looking in person than in the picture, but is too simple and clean to be considered ugly by anyone.

I'm very happy with this knife block. It's very well made, sturdy, and great looking. I especially like that all the slots (except the 6 steak knife slots in the very front) are horizontal, which is easier on the edges.
I have more than a dozen kitchen knives, including a very large 270mm Hattori Gyuto, a 240mm Hattori Gyuto, a 170mm Hattori Santoku, an 8-inch and a 6-inch Wusthof Chef's Knife, a Dexter Russell Chinese Cleaver, a 150mm and a 135mm Hattori Petty knife, two Wusthof paring knives, and a 9" Wusthof Bread Knife, plus six Laguiole steak knives. All are in the block, along with my ceramic sharpening rod and a pair of Kershaw Shears.
The slots were wide enough for all of my knives except one. After filling all the other slots, I had one knife left over, the Wusthof 6-inch Chef's Knife. It's 1-9/16 inches wide at the hilt, but the last remaining slot was only 1-1/2 inches wide. That problems was very easily resolved with a keyhole saw, which I used to slightly widen the top portion of the slot until my knife fit in it. Since the actual cut is entirely within the slot, there's no visible damage.
A great block for the money, and a great way to store your good kitchen cutlery!
