can you please confirm the color of the knife block? does it come with the "walnut" color as shown in the picture or the lighter "maple" color?

The one I was sent was the lighter maple color. But I don't know if that is true for everyone.

It is blue and white.I returned hours not because of quality, but because metal cutting blade's were not available for the saw

It's darker than the pic. The blocking around the squares is a very dark gold/ bronze, the green more of a sage, and the blue not the sky blue shone in their pic. But I love mine, & the overall darker tone worked fine for me, so I was really happy with it.

The blade has an unusual coating; almost looks like a weird sort of 1075 Carbon/Damascus steel thing going on. It definitely is not a black coat, so I suppose it is more of a rustic version, but I guess that would depend on ones version of rustic. It really is a beautiful yet simple looking throwback type of chopping knife. I apologize if my answer seems a bit vague. It's about the best I can answer though. Take care.

It looks & feels like some sort of synthetic material. It's not wood. Also, the white engravings on the handle are not as clear & nice as in the pic advertising the product. The feeling is that if you handle this knife repeatedly eventually the white color will wear off and you will have to use paint to restore it (how successful can you be is something to be seen.)

I got the walnut. It was not stained- but the wood is a lovely warm color. It is very nice. I would recommend it.

looks like oak with a simple varnish finish that is riveted to the tang. it is of half tang construction. I have two of these one with a normal handle and with an extra long one. the half tang seems to be very sturdy and I having been using them for many years.

You are correct, the actual walnut is a bit darker than this. The picture is about 20% diff. You can look at our other products which has walnut on.

My block is wood and has spaces for steak knives. The one in this picture is not familiar to me. Sorry.

It's tan, just a light tan. The picture they have is way lighter then the actual knife.

It is a medium color wood, like stock cabinets in my kitchen. The baskets are close to the same color.

Yes, it is a bit heavier due to the weight of the walnut handle, but not by much. It stillhas the same relatively thin blade and feels light compared to most knives of this design.For a heavier knife with a thicker blade, I'd recommend the Mercer 8" Renaissance or Genesis in this price range..

The picture on this ad is very accurate and the color might be best described as a light cherryish color. Maple has a bit of a pinkish undertone in it, not golden (yellowish) like oak.

The one I ordered had a wood handle pictured and that's what I received. I think you'd be happy with any of the Mora knives. This is my first one, but at these prices, it won't be my last!

Mine is all black. It's carbon steel so it's functional. Sharp enough to cut but no where near katana sharp. I'm okay with it. Decent for such a cheap price. Beware the guard may bend during shipping somehow. I could straighten mine but it's more effort than it's worth for a slight bend.

No problem with knife slots... be aware, the color is not really walnut. It's like dark cherry.

It's a dark brown with hints of cherry in it. A full cherry wood finish would be lighter and have more of a reddish tint. This just has a little bit of cherry shining through.
