I am on a quest. I need a knife block that appears to be out of the
ordinary. It has to house: 2 Chinese cleavers with quite large blades, 1
meat cleaver with a not as large blade, 10" chef's knife, a long bladed
carving knife, a long bladed slicing knife, a bread knife, a couple of
smaller knives, and a steel. If it has more slots, that's okay. I don't need
to store my steak knives here, as I have a separate wooden case for them.
I can fulfill most of the requirements with many blocks on the market, but
nothing that will also house the cleavers. There is one that's close, in the
Katana Series by Calphalon. But they give no dimension on the knife slots.
Googled for custom block makers, and other than a couple of how-to (actually
more like here's an overview of how I built mine) I found only one: Knives
by Walden. The website has absolutely no email address I can find, nor any
brick-and-mortar place, or at least nothing that displays in Firefox. Dose
anybody here l know anything about this person? I mean, even his order page
has no button to click on to send an order!
Failing that, does anyone here know of a good, reputable custom block maker?

Should be a straightforward job for one of the more commercially
inclined folks in rec.woodworking, which I have crossposted.
