Urban Universal Knife Block- Tangerine Orange

I despise wood block knife holders and got tired of nearly cutting myself every time I tried to take a knife out of the drawer. This knife block gives my kitchen a little pop of color while providing safe, organized storage for my knives. I liked mine so much that I bought another one as a gift.The only drawback is that the holder isn't functional if you put it under a cabinet with knives in it. I was able to find a home for it, though it wasn't my first choice.

I discovered one of these incredible knife blocks in the kitchen of a friend, and I immediately ordered two, one in tangerine and one in red. I have just acquired a couple of very expensive knives, and knew I shouldn't be storing them in the drawer with all of the other knives, so the discovery in my friend's kitchen was perfectly timed! These knife blocks are amazing. They are filled with plastic rods of small circumference, which cushion your knives and keep them from touching one another. The plastic rods (as opposed to the individual knife slots found in a typical wooden knife block) allow you to choose where to put the knife in the block, and allow the block to hold a lot more knives than the standard wooden version, while at the same time keeping each knife separate and apart from the others. The sleek modern euro design of this item is fabulous too. I can't say enough about how great this product is.

This is a perfect fit for my kitchen, which has limited counter space. Sturdy and stable and doesn't dull the blades of my knives. I'd recommend this product to anyone. Only downside, if placed under the upper cabinets, there isn't enough clearance to remove large knives by pulling straight up. I placed mine in a spot where there isn't any interference from upper cabinets. I appreciate the choice of colors, as well.

This block can accommodate a large number of knives (8 in my case) but they can shift around a bit once inserted so feel a little "loose". Feels very stable overall, however.

The Kapoosh holds a lot of knifes. My largest chef knife has to be slanted a bit so that a bit of the blade isn't exposed, but otherwise terrific. It takes up about ⅓ of the space of my old wood block. I haven't tried to wash it yet but the internet guidance makes it look easy. I NEVER cleaned the old wood block. That worried me!

I haven’t had a need to clean mine yet but I love the size and sturdiness of it. It’s much better than the Bodum one that I had before.

Really like the pop of color on the counter but it’s top heavy.....

I have used my slate grey one for about a year and I am ordering the orange one to use also. It is so useful for my knives, pizza sizzors or any gadget that I use will fit in it. That is why I need another one..so handy and slender--doesn't take up much space--flat footprint which makes it fit against the wall etc.
