Rounded Magnetic Beechwood Knife Block

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love that this doubles as a bookend for my cookbooks on the counter! It's beautiful, minimal, and functional. This is a good, study, fairly heavy weight knife block, though I wish it was actually a little heavier. I used to have a knife block that stored knives perpendicularly to the countertop, which is annoying if you're trying to store the knife block under an upper cabinet. I also appreciate that I can store knives on both sides. However, I have noticed some mild scratching on my knives, but that may be because my husband doesn't remember to turn the knife first before pulling it off the block.
