Buy Wusthof 22-Slot Storage Block Now
The knife block looked fine when it arrived, but then developed two cracks at about 5 weeks. I tried to process an exchange on Amazon and was informed there was a 30-day window that had expired so I am stuck with the cracked block. I was replacing the original 17 slot block as I have purchased addition knives. The 17 slot block is about 5 years old and in great shape so this must be a lower quality after market block....beware.I was really looking forward to this knife block since it had room for 2+ Chef Knife size blades and a cleaver. However I was very unhappy with the near garbage quality of it. The front section where the steak knives are held was glued on with a large amount of glue coming around edges and there were large gaps where it didn't fit correctly against the large part. Also in 2 of the slots there there large wedges that were hanging down that caught the blades and stopped the knife from going in. Also the the "Wusthof" that is shown in the picture as engraved into the block was not there. It was only a cheap metal sticker on the front where there name on it. I ended up going to Sur La Table, and purchased the same knife black but in the store brand for about $10.00 less just in a different color, and of much better quality.This is a great knife bolck. it is sturdy and has slots for all of my knifes that I use in my kitchen.Wusthof 22-Slot Storage Block

I should have known anything with the name Wusthof on it would be at the highest level of manufacturing possible to mankind, but still, anyone can have a bad day, right? Not to worry! This block was flawless in fit and finish. Shipping was lightning fast too! Thanks.Pretty large block with lots of slots. My previous one had about half the slots, but I've accumulated enough knives that I use regularly enough to justify this thing. Sits on my counter-top next to the stove, and no issues in the year I've owned it. For a block of wood, it does seem overpriced, but the price is comparable to pretty much every other block I've seen.
