Really liked the looks and flexibility for a variety of knives. It is a little less than a year old and the knives are hard to insert into the kapoosh. Seems the "rods" get bent and prevent the knives from entering. I took it apart and found so many bent that it is impossible to repair. (Kapoosh recommends taking it apart for cleaning, ours was very clean but the bent rods were the problem.)

I do alot of serious cooking and have a large assortment of knives, heat themometers, etc. Typical wood knife blocks limit, because of their design limits the number and types of knives they can store. The larger units are also very expensive. The solution to these limitations in my experience is the Kapoosh. This is the third Kapoosh that I have purchased, and I am completely happy with the product and its' durability. As my assortment of knives,etc. changes, having muliple Kapoosh units allows me to adapt my kitchen tool storage any way that I desire. It is great not having to look for a specific slot to put a particular knife.

This is the coolest. You can stick the knives or other kitchen tools in any which way, providing lots more storage space than a standard block. It's the safest, most convenient knife storage I've ever had. The fact that you can pull out the plastic and clean it is also a big plus.

We were very excited when we bought this block. Shortly after we opened it, it went back into the packaging for return. The wooden block had very obviously been broken and was poorly glued at the factory. (The glue had been sanded flush to the finish). There was also a piece of MDF that had been used to fill a missing chunk of the block. To say it was an eyesore was an understatement.
It baffles me how this product made it past their QC- if they even have a QC department.

When we were registering for wedding gifts, my husband insisted on including this "universal" knife block that could hold any brand of knives - even the ones he's kept from the "house" in college. Since we never saw this magical knife block in any store, we did not include it on our registry. But, when we received a bunch of nice, new knives for the wedding, and they sat around dangerously on our kitchen counter, we had to go in search of the "universal" knife block on the internet. Thank goodness Amazon carries it!
We have had our knife block for over a year now and I couldn't be happier. If you are wondering what actually makes this knife block work, let me describe the pieces. There is a hollow wooden holder with nice rubber feet. If you take the black part out, it could be any type of a container with a hollow bottom (just a few crossbeams built into the bottom of the block to hold the black insert in place). But, the black part is made up of thin, plastic rods adhered together in a black plastic square "cap" at the bottom. The plastic rods are thinner than a ballpoint pen refill and the cap is only about an inch high. If you take the rod structure out and set it on a table, you can actually brush your hand across the top and the thin rods will sway. Kapoosh does sell replacements for this piece, but we haven't needed one yet.
I like this item because I can organize the knives in the way that makes sense to me. I can include scissors and my old meat cleaver in this. It is weighted well and holds about 12 knives/accessories (right now I have the following in mine: cleaver, kitchen scissors, carving knife, sandwich knife, cook's knife, peeling knife, small cook's knife, bread knife, tomato knife, cheese knife, Japanese cook's knife and a meat fork). I can "promote" frequently used knives to this knife block and feel like it grows with our household.
Last week, I decided to test the claim that the insert for this item can be cleaned in the dishwasher. It seems like it might not be a good idea because it has to be inverted in order to wash out and the rods don't seem like they can support the weight of this black insert on a dishwasher rack. However, everything worked just fine and the insert is back to work on our kitchen counter.
There are only two cautions I have. One is that the plastic rods do get bent if the knives are inserted into the block without care ("quit jamming those kinves in there!"). So far we have only lost 3 plastic rods and no one could tell the difference. The other caution is that it does not work as well with the meat fork and tomato knife because the pronged leading end of the knife catches on the ends of the rods when inserted. I have to wiggle these two utensils a little to get them in.
However, those two minor points did not stop me from getting one of these items for my Mom and stepdad (who really does the cooking) this year. Highly recommended!
