Too expensive!
Top pick has too much blade exposure. You could easily cut yourself while reaching for a different knife. Not loving these choices.
Are these two gonna bang later or what

If you're poor, buy this one! What's that? Show you how well it works for $68?!?! What do we look like – an honest review channel? Hahahahaha!
Get a magnetic rack. Got one from global. Holds any knife and does not take up space on the desk
It’s $299 now and I think it’s ugly.
Lost some credibility here when you comment about knife exposure on first block but not your winner???

Love this! I bulit my own set over three years and it's so much better than having bought a set
where did the black haired lady go? She is so much better.
How does that “winning” turntable block not have safety issues? And capacity issues.
Just saying they did review knife magnets. The winner was by messermeister
you guys miss one type, it's in drawer type, look at my store http://www.amazon.com/dp/B07KMX3CF3
I'm thinking about a knife wall instead
You talk about a safety issue with blades sticking out of the plastic block but then go on to endorse the design trifecta with all blades exposed and blades sticking above the block!! I don't get it. I have bought dozens of items from the test kitchen but this guy doesnt know anything. Its like a commercial. Very disappointed.
jesus christ for $299 I could just buy a nice knife set and have a block constructed for them.
Best knife block is not ceramic knives friendly.
All ugly
Boujie ass show
No
$300 for the knife holder…? It's insane!
You're gonna be spending $600 if you want to keep more than 6 knives
Do not ever buy one of those wooden blocks without the magnets that have slots for you to put the knives into. I had one and looked down into the bottom of the slots one day and found nests of cockroaches and cockroach eggs in the bottom of the slots. Never again.
Wow! First time this show has let me down. Way too expensive a model and really just a gadget more than a helpful kitchen tool. What the heck happened to the true and trusted knife block. All knives fit perfectly and the whole set can go on my counter under the cabinet within easy reach. All knives are safe and ready for use. Magnets will not hold when the knife is bumped at the right angle. Murphy’s Law, it will always be hit at just the right angle to fall off and become a dangerous object. Please folks, redo this knife holder test!
I swore I saw this exact video a couple months ago.
I love my Bodum bristle knife holder which cost me 1/2 of your "runner up." It is safe and I don't like the esthetics of visible blades, a bit visually disturbing. Not swayed by the Trifecta rotating wood holder!
How will that thing fit under your upper cabinets? I guess I'll display it in the middle of my dining table lol
