This knife block is made of solid wood, stands up well as designed and knives remain in place thanks to a strong magnet. It also looks very good. I find it most useful when I'm cooking on the kitchen island. I put the knives I'm going to use on this block so they are right in front of me, ready to use, get out of the way and safe.
This bamboo magnetic knife block is extremely thick and heavy duty. The magnet in them is strong and hangs on to any size knife with ease. It also looks stylish and would look great in any kitchen. It keeps you r knives neat and organized. I myself don't make many large meals anymore, and don't feel safe leaving knives displayed on my counter, so I put the knife block away when not in use. Great investment for the chef in the family and I could easily see this as lasting a lifetime.
Belas. O seu peso, é sinal da grande qualidade. O seu corte é preciso, fácil e eficiente! Super satisfeito.
The tomato knife is beautiful to handle and to use. It's very sharp and works very well on not only tomatoes but also any vegetable with a resistant skin. And it makes an excellent gift !!
Excellent blade, and with the expedited delivery was here the next day!! Still can't believe it arrived so quickly - I thought it was being shipped from the States so this was a very nice surprise.
For the odd reviewer on here questioning how long it will retain it's edge, these knives are designed with sharpening in mind. This hardness of this blade will mean it will keep it's edge a lot longer than many of the other knives on the market, but it will need attention from time to time. Invest in a honing steel to bring back the edge. Also it will benefit from the occasional precision sharpening a whetstone gives. Depending on how out of shape you let the blade get depends on the coarseness of the whetstone you use. Just make sure you end up with the finest you can - 8000 grit is very fine, ideal for that polished sharp edge.
I didn't manage to get the 20% discount offered on the site though - maybe it's because I paid in stirling and not dollars.
