Practical and Elegant

This knife holder was a big splurge for me. For a few years I've looked at knife holders, and didn't see any that fit my purposes. I wanted to be able to see my knives, so I didn't want drawer organizers. Wooden Block designed knife holders don't show the blades. Then I came across THIS ONE. Not only is it a practical design, it's beautiful. After I bought it, I took most of my knives to the business that sharpens and restores them. I wanted the knives to look as good as the holder they're in. I'm very pleased.

It’s just ok

I’ve owned this for a few months and it’s ok. Over time you get scratches in the black paint. If your cupboards are standard height you can’t place it under them, as there’s not enough clearance to remove longer knives. It collects dust and crumbs inside bottom, and you can see through plastic, so frequent cleaning needed. For that kinda money, I wouldn’t buy again.

Amazing customer service from Schmidt Bros

I bought this acacia knife block several years ago and it remains one of my favorite pieces of kitchen equipment. Stores tons of knives safely with a very small footprint. I also keep my kitchen scissors in it. I recently moved and the movers were very careless in how they packed the knife block (they left all the knives in it and dumped it in a box with no cushioning). The acrylic cracked in one corner and I was so irritated with the movers. I sent an email to Schmidt explaining what happened and after I sent a picture of the block (so they could figure out the block version) they sent me replacement acrylic sheets. I screwed in the new panels and now it is good as new! They didn’t even charge me for it. This is amazing customer service! I highly recommend this company and this product. You won’t be sorry! This is a high quality block and a company with a ton of integrity.

Beautiful and Functional Kitchen Tool

Beautiful piece that holds our knives securely. I love the clear plexiglass so there is no more guessing when pulling a knife from the block. We have a variety of knives so not having a fixed insert hole to slide a knife into is great.

Solid and Beautiful

Solid and beautiful. Just what I wanted and needed. I love it

Rusted after one year of use

Knives and magnetic block have rusted after only one year and moderate/seldom use.

perfect for our kitchen!

Pretty but needs work

While this wall mounted magnetic knife holder looks great it is lacking in a couple of areas. The most important being the magnets. While they hold your knives, they could be a bit stronger. Also I think they are circular and should be bar type. I find weak spots. The finish is very thin and very easily scratches revealing the wood beneath. Also as other have stated the template for hanging is way off and I find it lazy that a company that claims to be one of high standards has no remedied this issue.

Beautiful

We got this knife block as a wedding gift and love it! It is beautiful and looks great in our kitchen. The magnet is strong enough to hold all different sizes of knifes. My only knock is that it is difficult to clean.

Stylish and functional

I love it. Very stylish and functional.

Best compact knife block ever.

I shopped carefully to choose the style of a knife rack I would prefer. I want to protect my fine quality knives. I’ve had wooden knife blocks. The Smith Brothers knife block is perfect. It’s not bulky and takes up liitle room. It stands firm. The knives are totally visible so you choose the one you need. I make sure the knives are dry before I place them in the rack.

Knife storage

It is made of very high quality material & has preformed well . This style of knife storage is often suggested to save counter space , fit larger style knives or to display them as well & has done a great job doing so. The only suggestion I would recommend is that if you will be storing a larger or thicker knife ( alot of custom or the newer camping/Chef knives are much larger than standard/traditional kitchen/Chef knives ) that you measure first to make sure they will fit properly.

Great Quality/Fast Shipping

This Magnetic Knife Block solves the problem of knives falling off, which is what happened with our other magnetic block. The quality is exceptional and the product is exactly as described.

Sexy smooth fine night set

I received my cutlery Set for Christmas . I have difficulties with my wrist, unable to hold and grip items. When I use the knife set for the first time, the grip was so light, smooth, fine sexy that was no difficulties using it. I see professional cooks looks for the finest cutlery set.

Product matches description and works well.

The reviews are accurate and the mounting template is basically useless how ever you can simply place the screws in the brackets and press them into your mounting surface to make accurate marks. The magnets and overall look is great no complaints.

Just Love it, while improving saftey

This far exceeded my expectations. It is well built, fits nicely on the side of my toaster oven in the counter. You can easily see what knife you need and pull it out.

Innovative Space-Saving Design

We recently moved from a house to a condo. We needed a space-saving knife block that also had a contemporary look for our counter. It is very solid and safely stores many knives.

Great shipping and great product

Great product, fantastic shipping! I ordered this product as a gift for my son from a big retailer. They canceled my order with no communication so I was left with no gift on the big day. I decided to go straight to the manufacturer website and order directly. It was shipped the next day and received a day later. Amazing! My son was thrilled with the quality and look of the knife block.

Adds a touch of modern to the kitchen

The Downtown Knife block is the perfect addition to make the counter look sleek and modern. Not only does it hold all of the 17 knives, but I can see the knife clearly when selecting it. I love to cook so my knives are very importajt. I am super happy with this purchase, the workmanship and materials are high quality level.
