Shun 6-Slot Modular Beechwood and Black Knife Block
The Shun 6-Slot Modular Knife Block is intended for the cook who works with a small, deliberate set of knives: a chef’s knife, a paring knife, and the few blades used every day. It stores that core set with kitchen shears and a honing steel in a compact form suited to smaller kitchens, apartments, and secondary prep stations.Key FeaturesModular design: The arrangement of the knives in the block can be customized, so the layout follows the collection rather than forcing the collection into a fixed pattern.Two-tone beechwood and black: The contrasting finish gives the block a modern appearance on the counter.Shear and honing steel storage: The two most frequently used accessories stay with the knives.When to Choose a Larger BlockFor a collection of more than four knives, Shun’s bamboo blocks offer more capacity.

Shun 22-Slot Bamboo Knife Block
For a large collection, the 22-slot Shun bamboo block has room for 20 knives plus slots for a honing rod and shears. Six narrow slots take steak knives or small cutlery, and one extra-wide slot fits a cleaver or a wide nakiri. Five wide slots hold several chef’s knives, santokus and slicers at once, which suits cooks who keep more than one large knife in rotation.Some Shun steak knives, including the Premier series, do not fit the steak slots, so check the Details before planning a set. The block is stain-resistant bamboo that resists knife marks and needs only a wipe with a damp cloth.
Smaller BlocksIf the collection does not include steak knives or a cleaver, the Shun 13-Slot Bamboo Knife Block holds a complete set of kitchen knives on a narrower footprint. Learn More$129.95 -
Shun 11-Slot Bamboo Knife Block
Nine knives fit in the 11-slot Shun bamboo block, and two more slots take a honing rod and shears.

Shun 13-Slot Bamboo Knife Block
The 13-slot Shun bamboo block holds up to 11 knives plus a honing steel and kitchen shears, enough for a full set and a few additions. Shun chose bamboo for its hardness, which resists knife marks and keeps the block looking new with daily use.Slot widths are graduated: wide slots accept chef’s knives and other broad blades, and narrower slots keep paring and utility knives from shifting. Because handle widths vary, Shun treats the slot sizes as a general guide. It suits a growing Shun collection on a standard counter.
Other Block SizesThe Shun 11-Slot Bamboo Knife Block holds two fewer knives but adds an extra-wide slot for nakiris and other very broad blades. The Shun 22-Slot Bamboo Knife Block nearly doubles the knife capacity and adds steak knife slots and a cleaver slot for larger collections. Learn More$79.95
