I like buying knives separately instead of a block set, but I still wanted to store all my knives in a block, so this was the perfect block for it. I really like that it has a slot for my vegetable cleaver, not all blocks have a slot big enough for that. Stores all my knives well and is built with solid rubberwood, so it’ll be durable for years to come. The black color looks great with any Zwilling or Miyabi knife collection and brings modernity to any countertop.
