The original slot-less knife block in Light Oak Woodgrain. Universal storage, allows you to insert knives anywhere. Features 2 tiers to fit knives with blades up to 5 and 8" long. Food-grade plastic flex rods won't chip or dull your knife blades. Patented flex rod technology conforms to shape of each knife and holds it in place. Flex rods are removable and top-rack dishwasher safe. GUC: I've owned for years and love, just got a new knife set that comes with its own custom block so no longe need this one. Some of the plastic rods inside have bent over time, but barely noticeable when in its slot, and does not affect function. Space-saving size: 7 x 12 x 5.5". No other damages. Smoke-free home.
