Customer photo review of Knife Rack - Walnut

Mounting was easy. Magnets are more than strong enough to hold knives that are only slightly magnetic

Knife Rack - Walnut

I wrote you, Samuel, as soon as I had purchased the knife. I told you the address that was auto - populated was incorrect. You did nothing to assist me. I am giving one star for very poor service.

I absolutely love the knife block. The finish is beautiful and the workmanship meticulous. It looks stunning on my counter and would not hesitate to recommend to everyone.

Magnetic Knife Block - Walnut

We first experienced Hazaki table knives at a chef-led dinner at Down Home and loved them enough to purchase the mixed wood set for our own Forest Feast dinners. They add so much to each place setting, with the varied wood handles bringing warmth and character to the table. They feel substantial in the hand, cut beautifully, and are one of those small details that genuinely elevate the experience for our guests.

Steak Knife Kit - Mixed Wood
