Wusthof
question: What brand are the writer's knives?, context: First, the positives. I like that this block is compact because I don't have a lot of counter space. I also like the rubber feet on the bottom which keep the unit from sliding around. Unfortunately that's where the good part ends.The top slot is the widest and can fit a 10&#34; chefs knife. However, the square slot just to the right of it is a little too close, so the edge of the knife comes into contact with the plastic handle of my honing steel unless I'm super careful. Both are Wusthof so I would've expected the block to be designed to accommodate their products.The other and more important concern is that the unit does become somewhat top-heavy when loaded with knives. It is stable from being tipped over sideways, but if you accidentally knock the block with your hand it has a tendency to tip forward.From a cosmetic standpoint, there's an ugly and wide seam where the front part of the base (the part that's printed with &#34;Wusthof&#34; is glued to the part that holds the knives. For this price and this brand, I expected more.
