BodumBistro Knife Block, Black

So easy to put in any size knife. Family all love it. Far better than our old wooden block. Sturdy and easy to clean, looks good on our worktop too.

Stylish, holds all my knives, the ones that are a bit long, stay at the back. My scissors fit In nicely aswell, very happy with purchase.

Bought this for my mum, who was fed up get nicked when putting her hand into a drawerful of loose knives. She's very happy with it, and it is now a firm fixture on her windowsill. There are two minor negatives which mean I can't give it 5 stars:Firstly, the block is relatively short and so some longer knives have their blades exposed (but they are easy enough to dodge, so not a huge issue).Secondly, the bristles that hold the knives in place have loosened up over the course of a couple of months.This means that the knives aren't held in place as securely as they were at first. It's not a problem at the moment, but if they continue to become flexible then I'd be concerned about the longevity of the block.Overall though, we much prefer it to the standard wooden block and would recommend it to other (especially if you're someone who has accumulated a bunch of knives from disparate sources over the years).

Truly I say to you; look no further.Sleek, sexy and practical design. Makes your kitchen look like a professional (albeit Hipster) kitchen. It looks clean and has a smallish footprint.Definitely recommend this product if you have quite a few blades in the kitchen that you regularly need access to. If you want your knives to last longer, you'd want to avoid storing them inside your drawers with your other utensils. Instead, let it rest, dry and shine on your worktop surface.Big fan of Bodum and this knife block doesn't disappoint - don't forget the detachable bristles that make cleaning the insides a breeze!NB: I currently have it holding over 7 knives. So space isn't a problem!

Adore this. Fits well in the kitchen and is stylish

Looks so good and very modern, perfect for my new kitchen. I was trying to declutter and this takes up very little room but still manages to hold all the knives I had in my old wooden block.

Sadly too small for most large Global knives and does not accommodate their 23" bread knife or carving knives as its too thin. If you, like I do use knife blocks width by depth, the Global knives stuck out very unsafely. I managed - despite them sticking out to fit 6 in. So global users beware. Otherwise a decent enough product. Well made, solid, nice finnish.

Needed somewhere to keep and protect my expensive chef knives I received as a Christmas present. Simple but effective design, holds all my knives safely, great price and looks good without taking up too much space- clever solution.
