Shun Bamboo Slimline Block

While the block is specifically engineered for the dimensions of Shun Classic, Premier, and Kanso series knives, it may accommodate other brands if the blade thicknesses and lengths are similar. However, we recommend it primarily for Shun collections to ensure a proper, secure fit.

The Slimline design features a vertical, narrow footprint that is significantly more compact than traditional angled blocks. It is specifically intended for kitchens with limited counter depth or those looking to minimize visual clutter.

No, this block is not dishwasher safe. Because it is made of natural bamboo, you should wipe it down with a damp cloth and mild soap, then dry it thoroughly to maintain the integrity of the wood.

The block features six slots in total: two for large knives, two for medium or small knives, one dedicated slot for kitchen shears, and one slot for a honing steel.

Yes, bamboo is an excellent material for knife storage because it is naturally antibacterial, sustainable, and hard enough to resist deep scratching. It is also gentle on your knife edges, helping to maintain their sharpness over time.
