For years, we've been thinking about hand-made figured wood knife blocks, and here they are. On the outside, we have the best of the best in birds eye maple and finished off with a walnut face and a birds eye maple support. The walnut really brings out the true color in the birds eye maple. This block holds 6 steak knives, a steel, 2 large knives, 4 medium knives, scissors and 4 smaller knives. It rests on brown rubber feet attached with stainless steel screws.
