Each handcrafted knife block has six slots and is made from solid Wisconsin hardwoods. This knife block is available in your choice of layers of cherry and walnut, OR layers of oak and walnut, OR layers of hickory and walnut. It is ideal for most steak knife sets and will keep them safe and handy on your table. As with all our blocks, a clear lacquer varnish ensures a long-lasting, durable finish. Felt dots on the bottom keep your table surface from being scratched.
