Do the knives fit between 2 pieces of glass? Just wondering in case it gets dirty, how do you clean the inside...

yes. the glass can also be removed to clean--parts of the frame can be unscrewed.

Very easy. Remove two large thumb screws on top, remove the metal cap that secures the glass and remove each glass for cleaning. No tools needed. It's a simple design. Works well. Haven't had to clean mine yet. I suspect a couple of times a year would be sufficient, but I'm not a cleanoholic either.

I wash mine in hot water, no soap. I make sure not to get any water into the slot for the blade. Wipe off the excess water and place flat on my counter. I tried to hang it up, the knife fell out. So that's how I do it

No. The knives go in parallel to the rods so the rods surround the blades. Most of our knives are very sharp and I have not seen any damage to the rods. We have two and love them both.

You need to be careful cleaning them because they are so sharp you will cut your self if you aren't careful. The knives clean up just fine. No issues.

I have shun and global knives and all the knives fit very well. When the knives sit in the knife drawer, the handle is the same height as the handle rest therefore you will not have a problem closing the drawer.

If you clean your knives before storing them there should never be a problem

If you lay the complete set of 4 in a single line, you could get 60 or so thin knives in them. However, I don't have 60 thin knives so I put the tip of the blades in one section and the blade closest to the handle on another section. I also put the knives in every other slot so there's plenty of room for the ones with large-handles. I tried many ways to configure the set until I found the best placement of the knives I have. I love the set. I think it saves so much space and is much safer than just laying them in the drawer (and who has space for that!?)

Knives shouldn't go in the dishwasher. They are liable to rattle around which can damage them. I always hand wash my knives.

I hand wash mine. After using the dishwasher a few times on a couple of the knives, there were rust spots that I had to get off. The spots came off, but I'd rather not have to worry about that at all.

Probably, but I would remove all blades first. Never was blades in a dishwasher. Aside from potential for sharp edges bashing around... Just rinse and wipe. There's not much to it.

I have four steak knives, kitchen shears, a paring knife, small Santuko knife, a chefs knife and a bread knife in mine, spaced nicely apart as it is now, but also could fit more. It's not quite deep enough to hold all of the blade of the bread knife, just FYI. I don't mind, but it could be a problem if you try to load more knives...

I do hand wash these myself. As long as you wipe away from the sharp edges, you should have no problems. I use this method for my knives.

As a rule I do not wash my knives in the dishwasher. My daughter does wash the set I bought her in the dishwasher & has had no problems.

I have been using my knife for a while. I have not seen this with my knife. I do hand wash all my knives. These knives are not expensive. So I dont worry about it to much.

You got teased a bit� I hope you got the answers you needed. I love it. One reason is because it takes up considerably less space on the countertop. My 7 inch knives fit.

You need to get a sharps disposal container from your pharmacy or use something that has this walls and can be sealed so the used blades dont spill out. On other websites like westcoastshaving.com there are small metal containers that cost about a buck and are made for this purpose as well.
