Amazon.com Review: When counter space is at a premium, this clever knife block stores cutlery underneath a kitchen cabinet. It mounts easily with a drill and three screws (included) that secure the block's "spacer" (a 1-1/4-inch-thick oak block) to the cabinet's bottom. Between the spacer, which ensures handles are comfortably lower than the cabinet, and the actual block are two steel plates connected to a pivoting device that permits the block to be rotated 360 degrees. Thus, when not needed, the block can be swiveled in any direction so knife handles don't protrude. When knives are needed, a push of a finger brings their handles from beneath the cabinet. Solidly made of oak, the block has eight slots for knives with blades up to 10 inches long and a ninth slot for a sharpening steel. Magnetic strips hold knives securely in their slots. The block measures 10-1/4 inches long, 7-1/4 inches wide, and, including the spacer, 3-1/2 inches high. --Fred Brack

Rating: - Great space saver!
Easy to install and a great space saver.
Very convenient while being out of the way.
Rating: - Looks good, BUT....
Looks very nice after installed. However...
1. Template is not correct--need to make your own
2. Screw placement is not ideal. If you countersink the screw in the cabinet and it goes too deep, the point will hit the swivel plate and possibly distort it, which will impede the movement of the ball bearings.
Other than that, I like it.
Rating: - Nice finish but doesn't fit
This knife block has a very nice finish, however it doesn't fit under any standard cabinet. The block that mounts to the underside of your cabinet is about 1" too thin to allow the block to swing out as it is designed. Also, the template does not match the mounting holes in the swivel block, and the screws are not the right length. I am returning mine for a refund.
Also of note - the block holds the knife in place by magnets that can scratch/mark the blades of your fine cutlery when you pull the knife out or slide it in.
Altogether, this is a non-starter. Yes, I could modify it ... Read More
Rating: - Good product/poor template
Like others, we found the holes in the template did not align with the holes in the mounting block. The holes don't even align very well with themselves if you measure their layout. (See comment about using the template). Also, after redoing the template to match the holes, it was obvious if we lined up the arrows with the front of the cabinet, the back of the knife holder would hit the wall when swung around. An easy fix was to fold over the edge of the template so the back of the arrow heads were in alignment with edge of the cabinet. You also need to remember when using the template that you ...

Rating: - Very happy
I am very happy with this knife block. Our cabinets are white so we painted it white, it looks great under the cabinets. The mounting holes didn't line up very well, so be careful when mounting. This block will hold 10" knives, even though it says it's only 10" long.
