YBM Home in Drawer Bamboo Kitchen Knife Storage Block, Knife Organizer and Holder 317

I bought this knife organizer along with the smaller one. I stopped putting my knives on my kitchen counter in a block after having a Feng Shui consultant tell me it was not a good idea. So, I put them into a drawer with a plastic organizer. In no time at all the knives had cut through the plastic and were sliding all over. These organizers were the perfect answer to my problem; knives out of sight and neatly organized so I wasn't in danger of slicing my hand every time I dug in the drawer for one. It's very sturdy and looks great. I would definitely recommend.

This literally is thre spitting image of he one I found at the container store... except $20 cheaper. It looks good seems to be good quality and all my knives have a place. I hated them all piled on top of each other :\. We are going to get our knives sharpened and it seemed like a silly thing to do if I was just going to pile them in a drawer to get knocked and broken. It’s a great solution and looks so nice and tidy.

Although I took very careful measurements before ordering this item, my knives don’t fit. If your knife handle is any deeper than 1 inch, and your drawer is 3 inches deep, you will not be able to close the drawer. I thought the knife handle would sit down into the holder, but it sits on top. Also, there is no space in the middle for a sharpening steel. I’ll be returning this item.

I think I have a lot of knives. I never like them in a wood block on the counter so they were dangerously placed in a plastic box organizer in my drawer. I found this knife block, decided to give it a try and am extremely satisfied. I have always disliked the sound of knives clanking around each other in my drawer when I reach for them and the bamboo keeps things quiet. Better and more importantly it keeps all the blades safely away from my hands when reaching for my knives and you can use the smaller steak knife slots for pairing and other miscellaneous knives.

This is nicely made, but there are some areas that are not entirely smooth/sanded on the ends. The packaging was also not that great. The adhesive on the plastic wrapping that was meant to protect it in transit was actually stuck on the end of the block, and being very, very tacky, it came off onto the surface of the wood, which could have been damaging if I'd left it in its original box until Christmas!

this is amazingi bought the smaller one for my rv drawerfits perfectsuper gift for anyone, wedding, housewarming will be on my list nowbamboo is beautifulmy husband just bought a new knife with a point end and i didnt want it to get damagedit fits percect

I have an unusual size set of knives (13 knives and a sharpener) and was having a difficult time finding a drawer organizer for them. This works great! Knives sit in it nicely and there is even an extra slots should I purchase more knives. Happy to have my knives tucked away in the drawer nicely and to be rid of the ugly knife block!

Looks great, fits in the drawer just fine, and works as expected. Wish we'd gotten this a long time ago - great to get rid of the old knife block!
