Zwilling J.A. Henckels Twin Build a Block with 9-Inch Steel and Kitchen Shears

I replace my old and small knife block with this unit. It was $10 more for one with the added scissors and steel, all of which appear to be of good quality. It was a notable upgrade to my kitchen hardware. I like the horizontal placement, which solves the problem of some people inclined to put knives in upside down with the vertical models.
