Title: The butcher block is the worst part of the package
Review: As others have written, the butcher block is beautiful and well made, but the knife slots are arbitrary and capricious (as lawyers would say), and do not fit these knives. For such a well made German item, which is expensive, you'd think they would take the time to make each slot match the size and shape of the various knives. I didn't think the Germans were so sloppy. On the other hand, the knives are great, well balanced, and so sharp you could shave with them. I would leave out the sharpening tool, which only experienced butchers are able to use properly, and provide another knife instead.
