In detail
A slotted block is a wet, dark tube that never dries, and a knife put away slightly damp goes in and stays damp. A magnetic block holds each blade against an open face where it dries and where you can see what you are reaching for.
Beech with concealed neodymium strips, eight positions, angled so the handles present themselves. It takes blades up to two hundred and forty millimetres, which covers the bread knife. Wipe and oil the wood twice a year like a board. It also means no slot to size a knife to — anything fits.
What it will not take: a bone, a frozen edge, a glass board or a dishwasher. Every one of those chips or rolls a hard edge, and the harder the steel the less it forgives. Cut on wood, wash by hand, dry immediately.
Why this one. Two numbers decided it — the steel and the Rockwell hardness — and both are printed above rather than described as professional or restaurant-grade, which are words with no definition. A harder blade takes a finer edge and chips more easily. Neither end of that trade is better; knowing which one you are holding is what matters.
