I absolutely love this cutlery holder. I typically do not like knives being left in the cutting block because I feel they need to be cleaned. Typically knives are in a wood block holder and it is very difficult to clean.  I also like the magnet strip that you can place a knife on but in this apartment I am not able to put that up. I feel as though this display is appealing to the eye and it is convenient.  The knives themselves are of great quality. They are very effective, durable, and sharp. I especially love the chefs knife is not too heavy and chops just right as I manoeuvre when I chop.
