fine-knife-sets Unique Holder Knowledgebase

Received my order for “The Ex” and was quite pleased.
It was even taller,and the base was larger (more stable), than expected.
I really like the magnetic feature in the slots that prevent the edges
of the knives from running along the openings.

Fast delivery and super packing. The knives are sharp and well balanced. I’ve gotten so many compliments on this!!! It’s just awesome!! Wish it could be engraved though…

I ordered this a couple years ago, saw it once and had to have it. It is indeed a great conversational piece. The plastic stand is sub-par standard, though nothing has damaged or broke in the time I’ve had mine; it feels cheap. I wish it was made of a metal or wood. I fear that one bump off the counter would break a few things. That being said, the design is fantastic:

- The magnets that clip the knives in place are actually quite strong (and are located at the top of each “wound”), so your knives wont be dulling by rubbing against any additional surfaces in storage (via sliding in/out of the stand).
- The plastic knife holders that are fitted onto the back of the model are sturdy and have a notch near the end to ensure they wont be slipping out or are held improperly.
- The knives themselves are good quality. Not the best, but they’re sturdy and extremely sharp. With proper maintenance and love, these will last awhile. In other words, I wouldn’t recommend running them through the dishwasher. Rather, hand wash, dry thoroughly and sharpen from time to time and they’ll stay pristine.

As stated previously, just be careful; it’s both an art piece and a functional part of your kitchen.

Great investment for those who don’t take these things so seriously, and have a sense of humor.

It is a very unique looking knifeholder not like the allover woodenblocks. The knifes are very good for the price. I have a small kitchen so be aware the item is big, but i really like the look. The only thing is, i wish i had spend the $20 dollars more for the stainless steel holder, the black one looks a little cheap.

Despite a slightly misleading title for this product, I’m a fan.

I was expecting the holder to be something other than plastic, but it does have a weighted bottom and the knife slots are magnetic, meaning the knives are secured… coupled with the blades being partially covered while allowing the blades to air dry, it’s a great design.

As for the knives themselves, they are a decent steel, and come reasonably sharp. I’ve been using them regularly for a couple months now, and the edges have held. Not bad for $70.

But that’s not why you should buy this product. There’s something deeply satisfying about stabbing a miniature man in the face with a paring knife. It goes in so smooth, and just feels… right.

…not that I encourage violence.

The plastic wrapper melted onto the item & would not
come off. Not pleased, I wouldn’t have item shipped in the
summer.

It is very rewarding to give to your love ones a gift they really love, finding the Magic Wallet again for my husband was everything , he loves his Magic Wallet they also have them for females.

Very happy with this purchase.

I gave this as a gift. It looked great in the beginning, but it did not last very long. The elastic broke within 2 weeks of use.

The leather and construction of the wallet was nice, but the ribbons that hold the cash in place began to fray at the seams almost immediately, and in less than a month, the ribbons broke entirely. I recommend this one instead, which is made with elastic instead of ribbon: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0019L6T54

When ordering, seller answered phone and my questions…that’s why I ordered from them – I thought they had good customer service. Yet when my shipment tracking said it had arrived, but nothing was received, I was not able to get a hold of them anymore. I e-mailed them via amazon, and left messages 2 times at their store, but never got a response. Christmas has passed & It is now useless to me.
