Wüsthof 6-Slot Steak Knife Block

Steak knives tend to end up loose in a drawer, where their edges knock against other utensils. Wüsthof’s 6-slot steak knife block keeps a set of six together and ready for the table, in a small natural wood block that takes up little counter or cabinet space.

Each of the six slots is 7/8 inch wide, sized for steak knives and small paring knives, and the block measures only 4 by 5.5 inches, so it can sit beside a larger knife block or in a cabinet. It is block only; knives are sold separately.

Customers ask us whether serrated or straight-edged steak knives fit; both do. The block holds the Classic 6-piece steak knife set and the Gourmet 6-piece steak knife set, and it suits a set of four, such as the Classic 4-piece steak knife set, with two slots to spare. For a block that holds steak knives along with kitchen knives, see the 17-slot walnut block.
