Customer Rating:      Summary: just what I needed Comment: This block is perfect for my needs. It was the only reasonably priced knife block I could find that would fit my meat cleaver. It also had enough slots to hold my other kitchen knives - chef, santokus, bread, carving, meat fork, utility, parer, steak knives, shears and sharpening steel. Couldn't ask for anything more.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Great Deal! Comment: With the free shipping deal, this knife block was a steal and came in record time!
Customer Rating:      Summary: Exactly what I expected Comment: After visiting several kitchen stores and big box department stores that apparently don't carry more than one knife block, I finally found one that holds all of my knives! The block does exactly what I expected it to do - hold a lot of knives.
Customer Rating:      Summary: All my knives in one beautiful storage block! Comment: This block completed a great set of knives. It brings all of my knives in to one block versus two and cleans up the counter. The usual great service and quality product from Henckels and Amazon.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Bad mix of slots, wasted space Comment: After reading all the good reviews and looking at the picture, I thought this would be a great choice for me. Unfortunately, the block only fit two of my larger knives, leaving 4 big knives without a home. Maybe if there were room for 4 or 5 larger knives I would have made due and gotten rid of a redundant knife or two, but as it was, this block is useless.
Strangely, there was enough room on the rightmost column of slots that the slots could have been made sufficiently wide for my needs. For whatever reason, they didn't design it for my selection of knives. Oh well.
All that said, it seemed like a nice enough block otherwise.
