Wusthof 14-Slot In-Drawer Knife Organizer Tray, Oak

Wusthof 14-Slot In-Drawer Knife Organizer Tray, OakThe product is exactly as pictured. It fits all my largest knives, including several types of chef knives. The raised slots are plenty wide to accomodate wider handles from an assortment of knives from various brands. Some of the other knife blocks brands have narrower slots for the raised section, but this one has plenty of room for all of my knives, including my Chicago Cutlery knives. The knife block fits well in my drawer when full. The block seems to be plenty longer than my longest knives.

Although it states it is an 11 slot knife tray, in reality it holds 14 knifes plus a sharpening steel.

My first impression from the picture was positive. A closer look when I received the item showed that on the bigger knife section, the edge of the knife is sitting on metal rods that are covered in rubber. In the one that I received the rubber did not completely covered some of the metal rods which left the blades of some of the bigger knifes exposed to the metal rods. I will still be concerned if the metal rods were completely covered with the rubber since with some use the rubber will wear out and the edge of the knife will be in contact with the metal rods which will deteriorate the edge of the knife.

I will have to look for another tray to store my knifes.

This is a nice knife holder, but Amazon is describing this as a ll slot knife holder, with smaller dimensions. I ordered 2 based on Amazons dimentions. What I received was a knife drawer, that holds 14 knives. It requires a 17" drawer depth, 9" wide and 3" high. The 2 knife holders, will not fit in the drawer as planned. This doesn't detract from the quality of the knife holder. But, please note the dimensions, what Amazon is describing is not this design model. The 29.99 is a great price for this item. I had ordered the version that Amazon is describing last year from an Amazon seller, and paid more for it with the shipping, than Amazon is currently selling this one for.

Ordered with Wusthof knives for my wife. The discription says "Oak", but the selection choice for ordering is either "Beechwood" or "Walnut" (higer priced) and the attached picture appears it is made of Beechwood. This unit is made in China and not sure what the species of wood is, but it is laminated with a lot (8) of knot defects in the wood. The indiivdual blocks that make up this organizer were out of alignment/crooked so that one of the large knife slots is unusable. Only 1 of the large knive slots was aligened with the end block. Wustohf knives are of excelent quality and I don't know why they would allow such an inferior product to have their name on it.

Although my Wusthof set of knives came with a knife-block, I wanted the ability to keep this fine set of cutlery in a drawer instead of on the counter top taking up my space. This tray fits the purpose to a "T". It easily holds my entire 11 piece set of knives plus the sharpening tool. The only piece it won't hold are the poltry scissors, which I just place in a tray next to it. It is not a big deal to me that the scissors won't fit. I was a little afraid that children could get ahold of the knives if left in the block. Being concealed in a drawer is "Out of sight, out of mind". The tray fit in a basic drawer and the knife blades are protected and secure. It was well worth getting. And yes, I would buy it again.

DEBBIE MEYER'S Kake-Kut'r Trio - Ivory Handles

DEBBIE MEYER'S Kake-Kut'r Trio - Ivory HandlesI saw the Kake-Kut'r in a product review many years ago and have wanted one ever since. I hosted a two cake event for the Fourth of July and finally got around to buying this set in order to keep the buffet line moving. Wow--am I ever impressed!

First of all, the Kake-Kut'r eliminates that awkward situation of having to touch somebody's cake in order to get it on their plate in one piece. (Or trying to manipulate it with serving utensils in both hands--a skill which most of us lack.) You simply slice, gently squeeze the handle, and place it on the plate. If you need to serve a crowd, this thing will help you move people through the line FAST.

Secondly, it does away with the "How big of a piece do you want?" negotiations that always seem to accompany cake service. This much? Is that too much? You want more than that? Yikes, I hate that. And hand carving custom sized pieces also tends to make the cutting lines go jagged and uneven.

This set comes with three servers, one each for rectangle, square, and wedge shaped servings. The ivory style handles dress the pieces up just a little, so they look right at home next to an elegant cake.

Almost every guest that came through the line commented on how impressed they were with my Kake-Kut'r, and I was surprised that none of them had seen one before. I plan to buy several sets to keep on hand as hostess gifts, thank you gifts, etc. Just when I thought I owned every conceivable kitchen gadget, I found one more I can't live without!

Stanton Trading 12 by 18 by 1/2-Inch Cutting Board, Green

Stanton Trading 12 by 18 by 1/2-Inch Cutting Board, GreenThis is a great cutting board with a good thickness that I am sure will help to maintain the integrity of my knife blades. I ended up getting this one and the green one here: Stanton Trading 12 by 18 by 1/2-Inch Cutting Board, Red. I will use the red one for meats and the green one for veggies. I do a lot of cooking and have gone through many cutting boards in my time working as a professional cook for over 15 years, so I know a good quality board when I see one. I love the simplicity, with no useless handle cutout, raised sides or bumper edges, all which just get in the way of cutting and sliding food off a board. The medium size of the 12 by 18 works well for just about any task you will encounter in the kitchen and fits nicely on most any size counter top. Also this is the perfect size for picking up and transferring food from board to pot. It has just enough grip on its surface to not slide around, even when wet, yet is slick enough to easily slide food off of. This board is absolutely perfect for any home or professional restaurant; I would not change a thing. In fact, I plan on buying many more of these, just to make sure I can stock up on them in case they ever run out or discontinue these models, because it really is hard to find such an all around performer in a cutting board that will truly fit my high standards of kitchen ware.

Very nice quality board. Its very large in size. I have some smaller ones from other manufacturers and this one is equal in quality. Great value.

The boards are a good size and price. I ordered two. I cut one to make a half size and two 1/4 sized boards. I have noticed that the surfaces mar easier than others. So the cuts are more visible from the first use than other boards. I have had boards last years without showing significant wear. Time will tell. I still like the boards and may order additional colors.

I LOVE this cutting board. It's huge! Slightly bigger than my baking pans. It's very thick and I love the bright green color. This is my most used cutting board because I can prepare meals on top and not get my countertop dirty. I will definitely by more of these!

Jaccard Ceramic 3-Inch Peeling Knife

Jaccard Ceramic 3-Inch Peeling KnifeI've used plenty of ceramic knives before, although this is the first ceramic bird's beak (BB) and my first Jaccard. This knife is pretty bad. It has a number of problems:

(1) The ceramic blade isn't nearly as sharp as I'd expect remember, this is a brand-new factory blade purchased direct from Jaccard (via Amazon). The whole point of ceramic materials is that they hold their edge perfectly over time... well, this edge started out crappy so it is going to stay crappy. I find it very hard to cut into a fresh cherry tomato, where I can do this easily with my 20 year old $10 Henckels knife with old crappy steel that I've sharpened hundreds of times.

(2) The blade is a bit large for a BB. I measure it as 82mm from base to tip (linear, so add a bit for the true arc-length). My Henckels is 68mm, which is a much better size. To be clear, this has nothing to do with my hand size, or the handle size, or the combination of the two (both knives fit well in my hand, which is average sized). What sucks is that the blade itself is larger than lots of things you'd want to pare with it. FYI the Jaccard's maximum arc is 3.5mm and the Henckels is 4mm, so the Jaccard also has a pitifully wide radius of curvature.

(3) The ceramic blade is fairly thick stock (measured at the back, not at the blade edge), which is especially bad on a knife meant for fine-paring as it means there's a fair amount of pressure and drag when you're trying to slip the entire knife inside something being pared. My Jaccard is = 1.80mm, Henckels BB = 0.71mm. For reference my Wusthof Grand Prix I (not II) regular paring knife is = 1.24mm and a relatively even thickness, my Global 20cm chef's knife = 1.75mm and a slightly tapered material ("Japanese style" thin for a full size chef's knife) and an old Henckels 20cm heavy "German style" chef's knife (from the same set at the BB) is = 3.15mm (this material is very tapered so it has a very thick feeling spine). On the cutting edge the Henckels BB goes gradually down to 0.38mm, where the Jaccard has a wedge-grind about mid-way and still only gets down to 0.64mm near the sharpened grind. I think a good BB knife needs very thin and flat material, so this Jaccard doesn't seem great.

(4) The blade has a very inconsistent radius-of-curvature. This is going to be hard to see in my picture, but it basically *looks* like this knife was sharpened free-handed by an unskilled laborer. I'm fine with handmade products, assuming of coure the craftsman doing the hand-work is better at it than a machine, which clearly isn't the case here (or the machine has really bad tolerances). This may sound nit-picky, but when you're trying to make a precision cut in a piece of food by drawing the knife along it, even a fraction of a millimeter change in the curvature is very noticable and annoying. This particular point is the main one I'm citing with the company to try to get them to give me a new and better knife.Pros:

knife came with a custom-made sleeve

medium price *for ceramic* (as opposed to real expensive ones)

Cons:

#1 above

#2 above

#3 above

#4 above

#5 above

Unknowns:

I haven't had this long enough to know how well the ceramic holds up to chipping or staining.

This knife takes some getting use to as the blade seems to be on the wrong side. I am use to using the Bird's Beak blades.

Oneida Flatware Apollonia 5 Piece Serving Set

Oneida Flatware Apollonia 5 Piece Serving SetThe flatware is exactly as pictured feels solid in your hand, looks beautiful, and holds it shine through many washings already. We are very happy

with it, and would definitely order from this company again. The packaging was careful, and everything came a few days early, in great condition.

Wonderful pieces to complete the set of Apollonia flatware which I purchased for my grand daughter's

bridal shower. And the price was right. Thank you Amazon!

I like the Apollonia pattern, however, I feel the serving set falls short. The fork and spoon are fine, but the slotted spoon has VERY small slots, making it less functional, and the butter knife is small and a little awkward. The sugar spoon is okay, nothing special. I wish there was a small ladle with this set.

Gorham Melon Bud 5-Piece Stainless Steel Flatware Place Setting, Service for 1

Gorham Melon Bud 5-Piece Stainless Steel Flatware Place Setting, Service for 1Gorham Melon Bud 5-Piece Stainless Steel Flatware Place Setting, Service for 1 I have owned this flatware for several years now and I am very disappointed in it. I have 14 place settings and all the serving pieces so I am heavily invested in this set. I liked the fact that it was a versatile style with a good weight, it was comfortable in the hand and it offered a large assortment of serving pieces. However, this set does not hold up well in the dishwasher. You must hand wash and dry this set to keep it looking it's best. Even with hand washing and drying, I still get occasional rust spots and tarnishing and I must polish the pieces every several months or so. For the price paid, this flatware requires much too much care. If you don't want to baby your flatware, look elsewhere.

We've been using this flatware for six years now since we married in 2005. All the pieces look in tip top condition. I also had issues with spots and rust on the blade of the knives. It would come off with a little Dawn and the scrubbing sponge. I've since learned that most all knives use a different metal combination for the blade as compared to the handle. They key to not having spots or rust to remove is to wipe off any oils like butter or mayo before putting it in the dishwasher. Once I began doing that the issue stopped. We run our dishwasher every three days on average as it's just me and my husband.

We've owned our Melon Bud set since our wedding in 1987 and the set has stood the test of time. The set, of course, has the expected wear of 23 years of daily use, but we've observed absolutely no need for special care, i.e. polishing, rust removal etc. Our set has been run through various quality dishwashers in towns with the some of the hardest water around, and have observed no stains or build-up, as would be expected from stainless steel. We find the set is well made. Each piece is well balanced and the right weight, i.e. not too light and not too heavy. The rounded edges are far more comfortable than more modern looking squared edges. All in all, we've been extremely satisfied with this set, and as time has progressed, we've always chosen to replace the lost pieces over the years, rather than move on to something new.

I have owned a service for 12 plus serving pieces and iced teaspoons in this pattern since my wedding in December 1986 and I have been very happy with the quality, style and durability of this product. In fact, I am online now looking to add more 5-piece place settings to my collection. These pieces have held up very well for me for the past 21 years, which is why I am choosing to add to my service rather than purchase an entirely different pattern. I have never had to do anything special to my flatware...I wash it in the dishwasher every day. I highly recommend this product.

Stainless Steel Lobster Seafood Fork, Set of 4

Stainless Steel Lobster Seafood Fork, Set of 4I love these things. They're exactly what I needed for cracking crab legs. I typically use the forks provided in the restaurant, but end up twisting them up in the process... and they don't work nearly as well as these forks do! The nice thing about these is the serrated tines, which make speedy work of opening up the leg.

They're sturdy, too.

Well worth the price!

Towle Living Alpine 42-Piece Flatware Set, Service for 8

Towle Living Alpine 42-Piece Flatware Set, Service for 8I previewed these at a bricks 'n' mortar store first. They are heavy with nice rounded edges. The design is quite modern. The only drawback is that the two forks are almost identical in size. If the salad fork was just a tad smaller, I could have given five stars. Unless the two forks are side by side, they're difficult to distinguish from each other. If you don't care about that, prefer a modern look & like a heavy flatware set, you'll love these.

The flatware is not stamped stainless and I don't think that's an oversight. The knives rust at the serrations. They are well designed from at esthetic point of view.

Global G-668/16 - Knife Roll with Handle and 16 Pockets

Global G-668/16 - Knife Roll with Handle and 16 PocketsFor it to be a Global product I was kind of disappointed. The fabric/material the roll was made of was great. The design works in theory. However, where it fails is its knife pockets. The pockets are way too small and close together. Keeping the knives bunched up. Overall its fine, but not worth the high cost.

This is a very good bag. Very sturdy and resistant. It has 16 pockets varying in size. The only problem is it is far from being a bag that you can quickly reach into and grab a knife. It folds out into a 2'x 2' square. You then unzip the protective cover and fold that over. This leaves you with the need to have an area of 2'x 4' unless you allow the flap to hang over the edge of the table. All of this just to grab one knife. If you are working in a tight kitchen you should make sure to take out all the knives you will need at once.

I love this case. It's sturdy with plenty of room and slots for pens, business cards, bothers along with a mesh pocket for peelers, small offsets, spoons and anything else under 7 inches. The only reason why this case doesn't get a five is that the mesh pocket doesn't have a velcro closure like my Wustof case did. Excellent case and in my opinion much better than the Wustofs.

Mundial Solid Wood Cutting Board, Small

Mundial Solid Wood Cutting Board, SmallI distinguish between cutting boards, for preparing foods in the kitchen, and carving boards, for carving meat at the table.

As a cutting board, this board would be good only for very small tasks like perhaps slicing a single onion. As a carving board, though, this is a good size for small roasts up to about two pounds perhaps half a beef tenderloin or pork loin, or a whole pork tenderloin. It's possible to fit a standing rib roast or part of a beef sirloin roast on it, but a bigger board would be better for those tasks.

The groove around the edge is nicely deep, but narrow. The small reservoir at the end will fill up quickly if your roast is at all juicy. Be prepared to dip it out after carving each serving, perhaps back on to the meat. If your surface is slanted, you'll want to put the reservoir at the low end to avoid overflow of the groove.

The quality of this board is good. It's thicker than most wood boards, and nicely finished on the top. If you need a carving board for small roasts, I'd recommend it.

Purchased this cutting board about 4 months ago but wanted to wait a bit before writing my review.

The great news is the board is easy to keep clean by hand and has not faded despite a few runs through the dishwasher. The feet are sturdy and I predict this cutting board will last a long time!

The best part of this knife block is the option of putting the knives I use all the time in a handy holder for quick access. This Kapoosh holder does that for me. I took my old knife block off the counter and put the items like the meat fork, cleaver, and larger knives that I use rarely in the drawer.

I was a little concerned that the holder would be small but was pleasantly pleased with the space for the knives I use.

I was then able to put all the knives I use in the Kapoosh and have room for more knives if I so desire to add the cleaver or others later.

i would recommend this knife block for those wanting to customize which knives to have on display for your kitchen cooking use and function. Happy cutting.

Finally, they just look good; clean and elegant design.

There are more expensive steak knives, and there may be better ones, but these are plenty good. They also make a great utility knife for jobs too large for a paring knife, but not quite right for a chef's knife. Highly recommended.

Martha Stewart Collection Triple Riveted 2 Knife & Cutting Board Set

Martha Stewart Collection Triple Riveted 2 Knife & Cutting Board SetActually I would keep the board hanging on the wall for meditation, and use a plastic cutting board for the work, which can be more sanitary and washable.

The bamboo board is so beautiful, but can separate with improper washing and drying, so hang it on the wall with some dried herbs, to watch while you cut.

Oh, wait.

Better watch what you cut.

This knife is really the only knife you need. I have one at home wrapped ever in a towel, and lamented the big box source I would buy them from has sold out all of her excellent, durable, well-designed and elegant products.

I am greatly relieved and very grateful to discover that amazon does carry this product. I thought I would never feel right using my MS Santuko, that I would be stealing from my inheritors should I somehow eventually damage it (an impossibility barring earthquake) but as Mr. Marley warned, you go to the well each day with the bucket, one day the bottom falls out.

Now I learn that amazon has one. It is a good thing.

Vegetarian (no meat and no animal by-products) I find this very useful for thin slicing onions and eggplant, fruits and vegetables, fresh herbs like cilantro from the garden, and anything else. The side of its wide blade is especially nice for pressing peeled garlic cloves, after the careful peeling.

All in all the best knife you can get, the only one you'll really need for the long journey ahead.

Knowing now that amazon has one on tap, I can save my full tang wooden handled MS steak knives for later, and unroll the towel from my own MS Santuko, and get back to work in peace.

If only I could find here the full gamut of MS products, in particular the MS 12 quart pot I use to heat wash and bathing water, with its excellent last-for-ever clad bottom which I believe I dinged one morning by heating bath water with no water in it. You take the bucket to the well each day, one day the bottom falls out. It still works wonderfully, but brings me anxiety, and I have no back up

I mean that big box corporation that bought the other big box corporation and threw out MS products, it does lifetime and even forever guaranteed tools. Why not sell the unbreakable Martha, too?

thanks amazon for having at least this one tiny bit of civilization.

and a beautiful bamboo board for my wall!

Me and my wife are huge fans of Martha Stewart santoku knifes so this set with a bamboo board is a no brainer.
