ZWILLING Italian Round Magnetic Knife Block

I realized I don't like my knives exposed but the block does work

Love this knife block, It’s definitely larger than I thought, but I get so many compliments on it!

I LOVE this knife block. That said, I have knocked it over a couple of times producing several potentially dangerous missiles. The block itself is pretty weighty and the magnets strong. I just gave the knife an impatient yank and push-pulled the block and caused it to fall over and continue to the floor. I was most worried about my knives, but they survived, unscathed. I keep my knife block behind my cutting board which stays on the kitchen counter 247. My only complaint is that all of my very sharp knives do not fit on the block. They make another block that might work, but instead I think I’ll put some of my bigger knives in the drawer block for safety’s sake. Great purchase!

Beautiful piece. Perfect addition to my kitchen. Looking forward to expanding my kitchen knife collection and purchasing another magnetic knife holder.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love that this doubles as a bookend for my cookbooks on the counter! It's beautiful, minimal, and functional. This is a good, study, fairly heavy weight knife block, though I wish it was actually a little heavier. I used to have a knife block that stored knives perpendicularly to the countertop, which is annoying if you're trying to store the knife block under an upper cabinet. I also appreciate that I can store knives on both sides. However, I have noticed some mild scratching on my knives, but that may be because my husband doesn't remember to turn the knife first before pulling it off the block.

beautiful, holds knives well, but the holes where magnets are exposed are not perfectly smooth and scratches your knives.

I love this modern take on a knife block. The magnets are strong and hold my knives securely. A real statement piece.

This knife block is really uniquely shaped. It holds 10 knives five on each side, but they need to graduate in size from bottom to top or the tips of the knives will touch and you don’t want that. The magnets are strong and will hold an 8 to 9 inch chefs knife with no problem

Beautiful and interesting design! Such a conversation piece and such nice form and function. Nice to support Italian artisans and sustainable forests, too. Easily holds up to 10 of your favorite knives in an accessible block that looks great on the counter!

If you are looking to show off the blades of your knife without the utilitarian look of a magna bar, this easel will do nicely. Made of Beechwood it comfortable holds10 knives. You will likely be storing your steel and shears elsewhere.
