Bamboo is an ideal material for knife blocks because it's 16% harder than maple, making it the perfect material to hold and stand-up to sharp knives. More importantly, bamboo holds the promise of a sustainable, cost effective and ecologically responsible alternative to the widespread cutting of our world's precious timberland. Bamboo is a type of grass that grows to a harvestable height of 60 feet within 3 to 5 years, growing as much as 2 feet per day. It's extensive root system continually sends up new shoots, thereby naturally replenishing itself without the need for replanting.
