Customer Reviews

Best knife block ever
My knife collection includes many different brands, and finding a single block to hold them all was impossible - until I got the Kapoosh. The Kapoosh is currently storing 8 cooking knives - including a butcher knife, curved grapefruit knife, and cheese spear; 4 steak knives; a pair of kitchen shears; and a knife sharpener. there is no way I could have gotten these into a traditional block.

The little "fingers" that hold the knives come out and really do go through the dishwasher and come out just fine - no more trying to clean the kitchen grease out of those stupid knife block slots.

As an added bonus, because you can put knives in in any direction I've been able to turn the Kapoosh sideways and push it up against the back of my counter, but still have the knife handles facing toward me.

My only complaint is that the stainless marks up pretty easily, but that's true of any stainless appliance, and it looks great in my kitchen. If you're worried about finger marks, though, the wood one might be the way to go.

Do not buy this product.. No stars
I thought this block was cool and would solve my knife storage problems. Well it did for about a month. With regular use knives with blunt ends like cleavers bend and break the rods making it impossible to get the knives back. And very sharp knives DO cut right thru the rods leaving shortened rods that bend and turn the middle of the rods into a birds nest. The block looks like a cool invention but it doesn't work yet. I wasted $40 bucks on the stainless steel model.

Initial reaction
Just received the stainless model... Build quality and finish is excellent... matches other satin finish stainless appliances in the kitchen. Functionally, this does what I had hoped and I won't ever use a block again. As for other comments that the rods break, etc... I considered those when setting mine up and it appears that you just have to use common sense and not jam things into it. I have several ultra-sharp japanese knives and haven't seen any damage, including a cleaver. Good rule of thumb for me..when I tried unusual shapes like certain types of scissors and met some resistance, I just chose not to push it in further to test the limits of the rods. Seems that if you exercise a bit of care when placing knives in it that the rods should hold up quite well. Very pleased with this product.
