Makes BK Knives Even Better
937236
I love my BK9 but the stock scales are horrible. They offer minimal grip at best. These scales are such an improvement that they really do make the BK series that much better. The only drawback is the cost for these scales can be a third or more for some of the BKs and as others stated you have to use the stock hardware. Not a big deal to me but for some maybe. It would be nice also if the micarta scales came in different color options.
Overall ism happy and recommend.

In love with this Big black blade, lives up to the hype, had intended to get a Bk9 until I found a great price for this beautiful blade! If I would have bought the Ethan Becker Bk9 I would have had to look for Mycarta handles and and a custom Kydex sheath and pay much more doing it! Junglas comes with sweet non slip handles and Kydex sheath out of the box. For an incredible price!

This is one if the best things I have ever bought. My knives are like razor blades now and makes chopping so much easier and faster. I don't know how I ever did without it.

It's nice to finally have a super sharp, lightweight, easy to handle knife to chop food in the kitchen. No matter how much I sharpened my other knives, they never were sharp enough to make my kitchen work quick and easy. This knife makes the work go so much faster, I can even use it to cut pieces of raw meat without struggling. I truly did not know what I was  missing before I purchased this knife. I now realize that quality knives are a wise investment.

This is one million times better than the steel rods that come with a knife set. I have many sharpening systems for folding and straight knives. The rod should be just a simple way of getting an edge on a knife that has become slightly dull with use.

In my opinion, the steel rods do little to help the edge.

This ceramic rod works like the angled rod I use for my folding blade. Just enough to sharpen the edge.

As an aside, the diameter needs a 3/4 inch hole.

Most knife blocks WILL NOT accept this sharpening rod.

If you are handy, get an extended 3/4 drill bit at the hardware store, overdrill the existing hole, then darken the new edges with a wood touchup.

I purchased these knives to help make my wifes work in the kitchen even better than it is.  She simply loves them and we probably will purchase more of them in the future.

This works so well you may have to warn everyone once you've sharpened your knives. I soaked the stone for about 40 minutes and then let it sit for about 10 before I started sharpening knives. It takes some practice but pretty soon you get the feel for how to hold the knife at the correct angle. Included is a clip that holds the knife at the right angle but in a few minutes, you'll get the knack of it.

We cook and use the knives everyday. I started by sharpening two knives - a Wsthof Classic Chefs 10" and a Wsthof Classic Carving 10" - my two most often used knives. So far, for the past two months both knives have held their edge with minor Honing steel touch-ups needed.

After believing the sharpening was successful, I sharpened all 15 remaining knives in the drawer. It's beautiful when you can simply slice through a tomato without losing the interior due to a dull blade that requires you to push through rather than slice through the fruit. Meat, neatly sliced and plated, looks appetizing. Vegetables, Julienned, look wonderful on the plate - soon, it's all art.

I like having the right tools for the right job. For my needs, this double grit stone has made using the knives all the more pleasurable. Give yourself a cutting edge and a beautiful presentation will be at your fingertips.

I LOVE this block of knives so much. I dunno why I didn't buy them sooner.

Great knife for all your vegetables and meat. Better than Kyocera Ceramic knives.

Knives cut with more ease than their metal counter parts. No rusting or dulling of the blades, makes this purchase well worth it.

Love the handles on these knives, and they are blue steel.  The small handle is amazing and works better than the traditional Home CheapO handles.  BUY A FULL SET OF THESE - YOU WONT BE DISAPPOINTED

i have been wanting one of these for a long time. now that i have it, i am more satisfied and exited than i expected.

our kitchen does not have room for a big knife block to hold our fancy knives. this is a perfect solution and makes them more available than ever.

Love this product. It has really improved my knife skills. My kitchen is small and limited as it was built in the late 40's. My wife loves it too as she has a little OCD herself.

This was a gift to my wife after having a Wusthof Trident 8 inch scalloped bread knife for about 25 years. The old scalloped blades are very difficult to sharpen once they lose their edge and points but i was told at Williams-Sonoma that this new blade can be sharpened in certain knife sharpeners. The new knife cuts extremely easily and makes less crust mess, even on fairly tough sourdough rounds. The extra 1 inch of length helps it reach across the large rounds without having to do two cuts. We are very happy with the new knife and highly recommend it if you don't have one yet.

This looks great on my kitchen counter and works like a charm.  The moveable levers can sharpen any kind of knives including serrated!  I love my knives and wouldn't trust them to anything else.  This sharpens, hones, and polishes-- what could be better- or better looking?

I have a nice knife block that holds the knives that came with it, then there is the drawer of "misfit" knives. The Surpahs wave knife storage block is a great alternative to knives thrown randomly in the drawer, which is messy and can damage the blade. Regular knives will fit in the block and then in the drawer, larger cleavers will not allow the drawer to shut. The knife block is very smart in the way it's laid out with two waves and varying size cut ins, so I can store a ton of knives ranging from a small paring knife to a long bread knife.

The storage block gives me two options. I can keep it in the drawer with the majority of knives stored in it and the cleaver on the side, or the block is attractive enough to leave out on my counter and then I can put the cleaver in also. I kept shoving knives in and am amazed that I ended up fitting 12 Knives of various sizes. Even though some of the smaller ones are tucked in among the larger knives, they are not hard to get to at all.

My knives range from a tiny paring knife to a long bread knife, a chinese cleaver, and a ceramic sushi bladed knife. My drawer of misfit knives are now nicely arranged and easily accessed with less damage to their blade, and I don't have to stick my hand in a drawer of knives to rummage around for the one I want.

This is my second Kapoosh knife block and I love it even more than the first. If you have high quality individual knives and need a convenient and sleek storage solution this product is for you.
