J.K. Adams 17-Inch-by-9-1/2-Inch Large Ash Wood Wave Knife Tray



Eye Pleasing Knife Drawer

When I open my knife drawer, my friends exclaim “ooh, Ahh” how beautiful. This product makes for a great quantity of knifes and looks terrfic. Also I have easy access to all my knves.

Not thrilled with J.K. Adams Knife Tray

The item pictured is the J.K. Adams Medium Wave Ash Wood Knife Tray, not the large version. With the large, the steel sits in the middle of the tray with room for three large and four small knives on either side. It is also a lighter shade of wood than depicted. It can be seen on J.K. Adam’s website, but even that one doesn’t match what was actually delivered in one – to me – significant respect. The dowels that run cross-wise though the bottom of the product are not flush with the sides of the tray as shown, but rather stick out nearly one quarter of an inch on either side. This not only gives the tray a less polished, craft fair kind of look, it brings the total width to just under ten inches (as opposed to the 9 1/2 inches specified) which in my case made it just a hair too wide for the drawer I had picked out for it.


Overall the tray seems reasonably solid, though I was also disappointed with the quality of the finish and the way it was packaged. There are two…

J.K. Adams Large Ash Wave Knife Tray – Awesome!

This knife tray is very well designed, solid construction and fits nicely in my 2nd kitchen drawer. It holds 6 large knives and 8 steak knives, plus the sharpener. It’s the perfect place to have all your good knives in one spot and keep them in top notch condition (and off your counter which is important to me). The shipping was super fast as well! Thanks.

Global GS-9 – 3 inch, 8cm Serrated Tomato Knife

Incredible Knife, Just Too Short for my Tomato I am a big fan of Global knives. They are wonderfully balanced, expertly sharp, and heaven to hold. This knife is no exception. I have quite a collection, myself. However, to call this knife a "Tomato Knife," at only 3inches long, is nuts in my book; that is, of course, unless you’re talking about cherry tomatoes! The knife does glide through the skin effortlessly, as another has said, and the meat of the tomato is certainly not a challenge for the knife, either. But it’s so short that the knife can get hung-up down in the tomato when you’re trying to cut through. I wondered about this, but I purchased it anyway. It’s great on avacados: if you use it to cut them in half the long way, and then use the back of the knife to cross-cut the insides of the halves, then turn the halves inside out, and scrape out the little squares of the avacado meat. But if you really want a great serrated knife that’s long enough to cut through tomato...

Shun Ken Onion 7-Inch Cleaver

Chop I’ve wanted a nice cleaver since I saw the Mortal Kombat character ‘Meat’ hacking away at his foes with a sweet pair of them, or was it the Swedish Chef recklessly flailing away in the kitchen on the Muppet Show in the mid 70′s? Anywho. Due to a youthful affinity for the tool paired with the occasional lite butchery I’ve been doing from watching too much of the ‘Food Network’, i felt it was time to invest in a piece that was sturdy, functional & decorative. The Shun Ken Onion Cleaver does not disappoint on any of these criteria. It’s like having one of those decorative battle-axes or Harry Potter swords on the wall that is actually functionally useful for cooking. It easily dispenses with meats, is well balanced, sharp & ergonomically feels like an extension of your hand. When the zombie apocalypse comes to wipe out humanity, I have no doubt that my Shun Ken Onion Cleaver will be a highly effective tool when close range combat becomes a necessity. Practical art! This is m...
