The idea from Achim from Meerbusch:
Partitions as follows – as also seen in the drawing – knife block on the right 50 cm x 27 cm – on the left, division in two compartments of equal size at a height of 5 – 5.5 cm
The story of the Custom made drawer insert:
Negotiation phase
Am happy to provide an offer for your idea of the drawer.
Kindly have attached my sketch of the drawer the way it will be.
Have a look and see whether it's the way you want it.
Thank you
Esther
Best regards
Thank you for your details of the drawing.
Now on the right of 50cm is it divided into six sections or it is one.
Two on the left it will be divided into two that's 27cm ÷2 = 13.5 cm
And what is the thickness .
The dark wood is mahogany.
Thank you
Esther
Thank you for your reply.
The 5cm is the height not the thickness. The thickness of the outside will be more thicker than the one inside for partioning.
Thank you for your reply.
The 5cm is the height of the drawer.
The thickness of the outside will be thicker than the inside.
Thank you
Esther
the 6 cutting edges should be sunk in the knife block ('Messerblock' in the drawing) on the right side of the drawer. The handles should rest on the right outside within the drawer.
If walnut is not available mahogany is also OK.
I ask for a short feedback before awarding the contract!
Kind regards
Achim
Thank you for your reply.
Kindly show by arrow where the handle will be.
What do you really mean when you say the edges will be sunk
Walnut will be available.
Thank you
Esther
Sorry to have taken a few days to reply.
Everything is understood.
I will apply walnut.
When I reach that stage will send pictures of the furnish and give an okay.
Thank you.

Achim & Silvia

Thank you.
Esther
Am on the progress.
A quick question please. What is the length of the handle of the knife and are they the same size. I have sentyou a picture of what am asking.
Thank you
Esther
Hello Esther, the knife block is 50cm wide & 27 cm deep - the length of the knife blades in the block 30 cm, the supports for the knife handles 20 cm!
Best regards Achim
Thanks for your reply.
The measurements are clear.
Thank you
Esther
Sorry I have delayed to reply on time due to some activity that was holding me.
Otherwise I have done it.
Now there are some less measurements due to that we are dealing with the outside measurements.
The side of the 50cm will be less. Because the thickness of the division has taken some measurements.
Thank you.

Super....then please deliver. THANK YOU.
I have done a review of the drawer insert and below are my comments.
1. The quality of wood is very good and up to standard.
2. On the section of the knife block, I have noticed the knives don't completely sink into the wood and there is a part of the knife blade that can be seen.
3. In terms of measurement of the width. At both ends of the insert the measurement comes to 27.1 cm and on the section of the knife block the width is measuring 27.6 cm, however the insert looks very straight and the only time it is noticed is after measuring accurately.
4. On the height, 90 percent of the insert is 5 cm as you request but there is a small section that is 4.8 cm. This is a very minor difference and can't be noticed by looking as in general everything looks very nice.
I believe the above comments are important.
Kind Regards
Herman
