This block is large enough to hold all of my knives, even my butcher and 10" chef which keeps my drawers from being cluttered with knives. It stays in place and looks amazing on the counter.
Of course this is gonna be well built when it comes from a reputable company. The pads are great to help with non-slipping. I wish the scissors slot was vertical as opposed to more of a square, this would give space for the handles of the knives on the side, and allow the scissors to tightly fit into its slot.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Fits all my Zwilling knives plus some others. I needed a block that would fit my cleaver but was not sure if the smaller blocks offered could. I ended up filling up all the slots except for the kitchen shears.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It had more available slots than other blocks that I considered. It’s pretty and will hold the set of knives that I recently purchased.
Spacing on block is not adequate for my Zwilling knives that have thicker handles. Also, finish on block is not a good as a previous block I owned. However, construction is solid.
