Shun 22-Slot Bamboo Knife Block (DM0832)

The Shun 22-Slot Bamboo Knife Block is the largest block in Shun’s bamboo collection, built for serious home cooks and households that keep every knife, from paring knife to cleaver, in one place. It brings a full kitchen knife collection, a set of steak knives, kitchen shears, and a honing steel together on a single countertop footprint.

Bamboo’s natural hardness resists knife marks, and its stain resistance keeps a block of this size presentable as a permanent fixture on the counter. A wipe with a damp cloth handles routine cleaning.

Key Features

• Steak knife row: Six slots along the lower edge of the block hold a set of steak knives or other small cutlery, so table knives no longer need separate storage.
• Dedicated cleaver slot: An oversized slot accepts a Chinese-style cleaver or vegetable cleaver, a blade too wide for an ordinary knife slot.
• Five wide slots: Room for multiple chef’s knives, santokus, and slicers at once, which suits cooks who keep more than one large knife in rotation.
• Shear and honing steel slots: Shears and a steel stay with the knives, ready between tasks.

Choosing Between Shun Bamboo Blocks

If 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. Before choosing this block for steak knives, confirm compatibility in the Details tab, since several Shun steak knife series are too large for the steak knife row.
