Finally I found a nice, very stable and above all empty knife block for my knife-Sammelsorium. Since wobble nothing, now have all my knives at hand, my cleaver has even found a place in it and there are two somewhat broader subjects in which you get a kitchen shears into it. Furthermore, there are the large diameter flat in the compartments, thus my nagging has reduced for the cutting area down inserted knife to zero and the house of peace is now restored ;-) The knife block is certainly nothing for chicke designer kitchen, but rather a very practical kitchen aid, due to its not about despising weight he also needs a fixed location and is not suitable for mobile use. When unpacking, I was only a little about the actual size erschrocken- but I wanted something finally for many knives (in the previous fit grad times 6 meter). The build quality is very nice and solid, bamboo looks just great and is very durable. The price is also perfectly fine for as much storage space. A definite recommendation for anyone who needs a place for their accumulated during the years Knife inventory and have enough space for such a large chunk. I will not give my restores.
