The Shun knife block that I reciently purchaced through Amazon more than meets expectation. It is attractive and holds all of my shun knives with the ecption of my Shun Onion chiefs knife (it comes with it’s own mount). My only problem with the block is that there are slots to fill and Shun kinves are expensive, you always pay up for the best.

The carving fork is too fat to fit into any of the slots on this knife block. You apparently have to get the larger block for it.

No one ends up with just a couple of good Japanese Kitchen knives. I had just bought several expensive knives and my old block just wouldn’t fit the larger blades of the Japanese knives. This one was made for the wider knives. Mine holds a couple of gyutos, a Banno Bunka, Nakiri, 2 pettys, and I measured it and it will house my new Hiromoto Sujihiki slicer, the longest one.
I like the slanted angle and the arrangement of the slots makes for easy entry and removal without other knives gettng in the way.
Good price at about $60 as I believe it sold for about $90, although I dont think I would buy it at that price.
The best feature is that it will hold 4 WIDE CHEF type knives….most others don’t
And the HORIZONTAL layout is easier on the blades…won’t dull them.
The other one I have is vertical and the blade road cuts against the block when you withdraw the knife.
