"Great knife block" 2009-04-29
By GoHokies
This was the biggest knife block I could find and I love it. It has a space for a cleaver which is not always easy to find and it also has space for a pair of kitchen shears. Love it!!
"Five different blocks" 2009-01-18
By Warren J. Dew (Somerville, MA USA)
This Amazon entry includes five different Wusthof knife blocks. I own the 9 slot and 17 slot blocks, so those are the ones I'll review.
The Wusthof 9 slot knife block is of beechwood, a softer European hardwood. It takes up just under 4"x9" of counter space, with maybe an inch of overhang in the front. Its slots are as follows, from top to bottom:
- wide slot for a chef's knife of up to 10" (25cm) blade length
- square hole for a sharpening steel of up to 10" (25cm) length
- two slots for narrower knives of up to 8.5" (22cm) length, such as a carving knife and a bread knife
- moderately wide slot for a knife of up to 8" (20cm) length; this slot is not wide enough for a full size chef's knife, but did fit my 5.5" (14cm) mini chef's knife, and would also fit a boning knife
- narrow slot, 8" (20cm) long; however, this slot will not fit most 8" knives and seems designed for the Wusthof 6" (16cm) "sandwich" knife
- two small slots, 7" (18cm) deep; these are too narrow for the sandwich knife, and seem designed for the paring knife and the utility knife
- short slot for kitchen shears; I don't know exactly how long this is because it doesn't go all the way through, but it works fine for my Wusthof kitchen shears
I used this block for over a decade, at which point it was replaced because I finally accumulated more Wusthof knives than would fit in this block. After all those years it was slightly dingy because I'd never washed it, and had developed a slight crack on one side that did not affect its utility (and which I only noticed when I pulled it out to measure the slot lengths for this review). It's a good basic knife block for a typical kitchen.
The Wusthof 17 slot knife block is made of finished oak. It takes up about 4.5"x10.5" of counter space. Its slots are as follows, from top to bottom:
- wide slot for a chef's knife of up to 10.5" (27cm) blade length
- square hole for a sharpening steel of up to 10.5" (27cm) length
- wide slot for a chef's knife of up to about 9.5" (24cm) length; you might be able to put a 10" knife in this slot, but the tip might protrude a bit into the space between the bottom and the counter
- slot for a narrower knife of up to about 9.5" (24cm) length, such as a carving knife or a bread knife; as above, you might be able to squeeze in a 10" knife
- two moderately wide slots for knives up to 9" (22cm) blade length; note that a 23cm blade would probably not fit, even though it would still round to 9"
- wide slot for a chef's knife of up to 8" (20cm) blade length
- narrow slot with a curved cutout, 8" length; my Wusthof kitchen shears will fit this slot, either flat or at an angle to avoid blocking the slot to the left, but the slot is not good for knives because the nonrectangulat outline can cause the blade to hang up when dropped in
- three small slots, 7" (18cm) long, but only wide enough for smaller knives, such as the paring knife, utility knife, or tomato knife
- six vertically oriented slots, 4.5"-5" (11-12cm) long, intended for steak knives
I received this block with a set of Wusthof Culinar knives. It appears to be of very nice workmanship. The finish does chip a little at the sides of the slots if you drop your knives into the block as I do; however, this doesn't affect the functionality of the block. This is a good knife block for someone with a moderately full set of kitchen knives, or someone who likes the convenience of keeping steak knives in the block.

This huge knife block will hold just about every knife you have or wish to have. It is a very handsome addition to my kitchen. I love it.
"Solid, heavy and terrific selection of slots" 2008-09-30
By Birgit R. Houston (New Hampshire)
I was very happy with this item when it arrived. Given how convenient these are, and how long they will last with a little care, it's worth the price! This is the first unit we were able to find that could hold our entire steak knife set, along with our Joyce Chen cleaver.
"Wusthof 25-slot swivel block" 2008-04-19
By M. Stewart (Seattle, WA)
I love a block with this many slots, especially eight steak knives instead of six. The swivel is not at all necessary although it doesn't cause any problems either. The block is deep, so you need the space for it; I set mine into the back closed corner of the counter space and it works nicely there. The block is built with high quality and does not put marks on my counter if moving it around like some do. I received it in a very timely manner after ordering with lots of feedback.
