Utoplike In-Drawer Bamboo knife block Drawer Organizer and Holder 12 knife organizer FBA_6slotsblock

We had a very nice butcher's block for years. But eventually my wife tired of having it occupying so much space on the counter. So, with a recent kitchen remodel, I decided to replace the block with an out-of-sight drawer option.There are a LOT of options to choose from in many different materials.What brought me to this one was both its size and its presentation.I would describe us as being at the lowest echelon of "Amateur Chef" in that we get our most sophisticated cooking recipes from one of those weekly services that provide everything but you need to cut/mix/prepare it.To this end we have invested in a couple of really nice cooking knives in addition to our bread knife and an array of paring/smaller food prep knives.So, when I say the "size" was right it's because the unit not only fit nicely in the intended drawer location (so YMMV) but it holds all of our knives with a little room left to grow.For presentation, I like the idea of my knives resting in wood and I can clearly see each of them in their entirety (size & type of blade) which allows me to pick the one I need immediately.A weakness of the butcher's block is, if your handles are somewhat similar and you're not consistent about where the knives are placed (*ahem* the wife) then you can find yourself pulling out each knife in turn until you get the one you want. Yeah, yeah, first world problems...The only caveat I would express, for those ADD types, is that we have 1 knife where the blade raises the handle enough such that it teeters a bit when the drawer is opened and closed.The wedge at the handle end of this unit is supposed to push the knives up to their hilt against the wood slots. This one knife's handle just misses that. After about 2 minutes it didn't bother me at all but I figure you *could* take one of those rubber bumpers (used to dampen your cabinet door closing - we have plenty left over from the remodel) and place it at the bottom of the wedge for that one knife if you encounter this situation. You would just designate that slot for that knife. Of course the point is moot if you don't put the knives back in a consistent slot (see above :) )..Highly recommended for someone with a relatively low profile drawer in their kitchen that is looking for a purpose and you want to organize your knives safely and out of sight.

This is a fantastic product especially considering the price. I appreciated that it was minimally packaged since there was less stuff to recycle. In my knife block I have:- 10" bread knife- 3 x 8" chef's knife- 1 paring knife- 1 fillet knife- 5 ceramic knives (various sizes)The knife block is full! It holds everything perfectly and it's easy to access each knife. I love that I was able to get reorganize my drawer, get rid of a counter knife block and make everything easier to access. Definitely recommend this product, great value for the price. The only small gripe I have with the block is that the slots are not all perfectly the same size. This means one of my knives have a tighter fit than I would like. However, I still consider this a 5 start product.

Fits in the drawer we have, dimensions are as stated.Hold the knives well.Have had this for over year. It’s used daily.I would recommend this product.

Nice knife storage

Exactly as I expected super fast order!!!
