JB,

I thought of that, and may still do it, but there's no way I could do that for under $20. The skewers alone (for the size I'm looking at) would run around $40, and then there's the cost of the container. I like the lacquered look, or perhaps even a glass vase.

I'm still noodling this one over...

Hey, on the computer they are upside down. Very odd.

Was going to comment on the strange gravitational zone you live in!

Amy,

FWIW, I've used the Kapoosh at other people's houses, and it seemed to work OK.

Of course, I'm a big fan of Make Your Own. Only requires $40 in hardwood, a half-gallon of glue, a table saw and about 140 clamps. I'd take a picture of my custom alderwood knife block, but I'm feeling too tired to get it down off the ceiling.

I got my knife block, and I love it! I'll agree with CI that the packaging was sub-optimal, but the block is very sturdy with a wonderfully small footprint. And, you simply remove some of the bamboo skewers so they don't pull up when take out a knife. I've got five Shuns and a Wusthof boning knife in there. It's perfect.
