Product Description
Amazon.com Review
Shun knives are a significant investment in superb craftsmanship and deserve the best storage possible. This bamboo block features 11 slots positioned horizontally, which keeps pressure off the extremely fine edges of Shun blades. The variety of slot sizes ensures all your Shun cutlery can be accommodated, from that large cleaver or santoku to small parers. There's even a hole for a sharpening steel and a lower opening for kitchen or poultry shears. Stable on its nonslip feet, the block is finished with a clear water-resistant finish that can be wiped clean.
Bamboo, a grass, grows so quickly that it has become popular as a renewable replacement for slow-growing trees. Harder even than maple, bamboo makes excellent cutting boards, kitchen utensils, flooring and counter tops. Add in the attractive, natural variations in color and its tough, non-porous quality, and bamboo is clearly an excellent choice for products for the modern home. --Ann Bieri

Perfect storage for your Japanese knives!,

This review is from: Shun 11-Slot Bamboo Block (Kitchen)
No one ends up with just a couple of good Japanese Kitchen knives. I had just bought several expensive knives and my old block just wouldn't fit the larger blades of the Japanese knives. This one was made for the wider knives. Mine holds a couple of gyutos, a Banno Bunka, Nakiri, 2 pettys, and I measured it and it will house my new Hiromoto Sujihiki slicer, the longest one.
I like the slanted angle and the arrangement of the slots makes for easy entry and removal without other knives gettng in the way. Good price at about $60 as I believe it sold for about $90, although I dont think I would buy it at that price. The best feature is that it will hold 4 WIDE CHEF type knives....most others don't And the HORIZONTAL layout is easier on the blades...won't dull them. The other one I have is vertical and the blade road cuts against the block when you withdraw the knife.

This review is from: Shun 11-Slot Bamboo Block (Kitchen)
As I slowly replace my old Sabatiers with new Shuns I sprung for their block. I've actually never owned a "knife block" before so I have nothing to compare this little bamboo beaut to but I am impressed by its ability to both sit on a counter and hold knives of different sizes all at the same time. Mine came with a discreet Shun logo on a brushed aluminum plate pressed onto the lovely bamboo. Some block!

Good Number of Large Slots,
By

This review is from: Shun 11-Slot Bamboo Block (Kitchen)
I had two knife blocks - one for the most frequently used and the other holding everything else. Having acquired the Shun Utility knive, as well as two Santokus, I needed more large slots than I had in my current block, but did not want slots for steak knives. This one is perfect. Holds the 7" and 5.5" Shun Santokus on the left side if you are facing the block side, the Utility "spreader" knife at the top right, and one of my Wusthof chefs on the right, as well as five smaller knives. The slot for the shears is a little large for my Wusthof shears, but it's fine. Love the bamboo, and mine has the Shun logo on the front.
