A slot that touches the edge is a slot that dulls it · review
An empty angled block in solid acacia, sold on the storage rather than on a set of knives you did not choose.
What we would actually buy Solid wood and empty, which are the two things that matter. The unpublished slot count is the gap.
An empty angled knife block in solid acacia, sold without knives.
Acacia through the block rather than a veneer over composite board. It is heavier, it survives being knocked, and it will not delaminate near a sink.
The slot count and the slot orientation. Both decide whether the block fits your knives and whether it drags their edges, and neither appears — worth checking the product images before ordering.
Turn it over occasionally, shake it out, brush the slots dry. Water never goes into a wooden block, because it does not come out.
On sale at around $30 on the American Amazon store at the time of checking.

Empty it, turn it upside down and shake out the crumbs, wipe the slots with a dry brush, and let it dry fully. Never wash it out — water in a slot has nowhere to go.
It presents handles at a more natural grabbing angle and takes slightly less depth on a worktop. The trade is a taller silhouette.
