The Shun 11-Slot Bamboo Block displays your Shun collection beautifully and ensures the knife you need is always within easy reach. This attractive block is made of easy-to-clean, stain resistant bamboo, one of the worlds most renewable resources. All it requires to keep it clean is occasional wiping with a damp cloth. The natural hardness of bamboo means it resists knife marks and retains its handsome appearance even under consistent use. This block can accommodate up to nine knives, plus two additional slots for the honing steel and kitchen shears.
