Lakeland Bamboo Fibre Universal Knife Block

I have had this almost a year now and have no complaints at all. It looks good, doesn't take up much space and does the job perfectly. Neither was it too expensive. Highly recommended.

As others have said, this is an ingenious design. Very versatile, fits any combination of knives/scissors . Easy to use, compact design, and simple to clean and dry.

For years I have not bought a knife block because they only work properly with the correct knives. This ingenious block uses hundreds of thin rods to support knives from carving to paring as well as scissors, skewers and a rod shaped knife sharpener. The rods fill all the available space so crumbs or insects won't fall in. It's heavy and unlikely to topple over.
