Good knife blockJan 18, 2009
By Warren J. Dew
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 is a sturdy knife block at a reasonable price. It would be nice to have a slot for a meat cleaver, but otherwise I am pleased with it.
