Detailed explanation-1: -You should always consider the safest knife storage option for your home. If you need to keep knives away from children or even pets, keeping them in a drawer is likely your best option. But putting knives in a drawer doesn’t mean just tossing them into an empty space.
Detailed explanation-2: -The cleanest way to store your knives is in a drawer block or a magnetic strip. Knives kept on magnetic strips might also attract food splatter depending on how close your magnetic bar is to your food preparation area.
Detailed explanation-3: -Straight to the Point. For most home cooks, we recommend a magnetic knife strip (like this) or a cork-lined knife holder (like this). Both of these knife storage solutions offer far more flexibility than knife blocks, without sacrificing safety or aesthetics.
Detailed explanation-4: -Proper knife storage is essential to avoid accidents in the kitchen and care for your knives. Overall, there are three popular ways to store kitchen knives. These are: Drawer inserts, countertop knife blocks and wall mounted magnetic strips.
Detailed explanation-5: -If you own a wooden block with vertical slots, store knives on their spine rather than on their cutting edge, as this will help them keep a keener edge longer. DON’T TAKE THE EDGE OFF: Storing knives on their spine prevents them from dulling.
