Bodum Bistro messenblok, kunststof, zwart, 6,6 x 21,4 x 20,3 cm

Love this block. Space saving and sturdy. Holds my whole knife set.

Très bon bloc de couteau la couleur elle est très belle mais dommage et déçu que ça ne soit pas en silicone comme tous les couteaux bodum.

For that price the quality is not that great

Perfect size & shape for my kitchen. Holds all my knives safely without taking up too much bench space. As with all Bodum products my knife block looks & is very good quality. Highly recommend.

We have a relentlessly active and curious toddler (is there another kind?), and one of her favorite activities is helping with the dishes. Unfortunately, one of the side-effects of that is that she has learned to pull the kick-step to the counter and climb up to get at things that used to be out of reach.We had already removed knives and other sharp things from the drawers to the counters, but now the front two-thirds of the counters are within easy reach for her, and we needed a better knife storage solution. We did not want to go the magnetic strip route, as there is the small but real potential for a knife to fall (jostled, etc).We realized that the space between the kitchen faucet and the backsplash was a 'safe zone' that she can't easily reach, both because it's waaay back from the front of the counter, and also because it's defended/blocked by the faucet itself.However, simply laying the knives back there would have led to them being wet a lot of the time, plus the potential for nicks and cuts trying to extricate specific blades from the pile. So, I went looking for something that might fit in that narrow space.The good news is that this knife block fits perfectly back there, and does a great job of holding our knives. I have seen some questions about whether knives can go in at an angle, and they can, easily. However, this knife block is tall, so it may not be the best fit if placed directly under cabinets. I tried it that way just for kicks and found that it is still usable, but it's not terribly convenient and one of the angled blocks (like Kapoosh) would probably be a better choice if height is restricted.But for us this is the PERFECT solution. We got the lime green color, which matches some of our trim work and makes for a nice accent. We couldn't be happier with this block, because it provided a safe, functional, and stylish solution to our problem - highly recommended.
