Customer Reviews

Not what you might think!
We first saw this knife block in a store in New Zealand. We loved it then, it had a nice heavy metal base but the packing of it was too much to bring home to the U.S. So, when we found the same style of knife block on amazon.com (loftparty) we where thrilled.
However, due to perhaps mass or over production of the "Ex" knife block, the base was now constructed out of plastic! The whole construction seemed loose, and the wearing and chipping of the silver metallic paint was inevitable. Disappointed, we promptly returned it. Now I have to live with shoppers regret.

Definately stands out on the counter
The stand is made of a shiny plastic and the knives have a nice design. Unfortunately it looks like one of the knives is already beginning to rust a little.

It is more of an art piece than a functional kitchen item though, so I'm happy with it.

The little lady loves it
I got this for the wife and she just loves it! Not long after she started using it she taped a picture of my face on its head, giving us both a good laugh, what a wiseacre! She cooks a lot more now that I got it for her so it has benefits for me, as well. I often find her standing in the kitchen for hours just taking the knives out, honing or sharpening them, and putting them back in.

She's so happy I sometimes wake up in the middle of the night with her standing over me sweating with a wide-eyed grin on her face. All-in-all a fantastic product!
