Store your knives and make your kitchen look amazing

How to choose the best storage system for your kitchen knives

There are different options. The option you choose depends on your personal preference and the number of knives you want to store with the product of your choice. Do you have too many knives to store them all in one knife block, for example? Simply place your favourite knives in the knife block, and keep the others safe inside your kitchen drawer with a knife guard or drawer insert. We've listed a few kitchen knife storage options:

• Knife block: a classic and safe way to store your knives. The whole blade goes into the slot, so the entire edge will be kept safe.

• Magnetic knife strip: don't have any room for a knife block? You might consider buying a magnetic knife strip. Mount it to the wall to save space on your countertop. An additional advantage is that a magnetic knife strip displays your knives in all their glory.

• In-drawer organiser: a drawer insert such as this will keep your knives safely hidden away. The knives will be neatly stored and will not be able to bump into each other.

• Knife bag and roll-up bags: do you take your kitchen knives to cooking lessons or cooking events? Check out our knife bags and roll-up bags. Store your knives properly to avoid damage and transport them with care.

• Knife guards: knife guards are affordable little sheaths to keep your knives protected. These are especially great if you prefer to keep your knives in a kitchen drawer.

Practical

A good storage system is not only safe for your kitchen knives, it's also safer for yourself. No more digging through that drawer looking for the right knife, trying not to cut yourself. Thanks to these storage systems, you can quickly grab the right knife for the required cutting task without any injuries.

Choosing a fitting knife block

If you already own a nice set of kitchen knives, you might consider purchasing an empty knife block.

Transporting knives

If you're cooking on location, you'll want to take your favourite kitchen knives. You could use a sheath or knife guard for this, but if you're planning to take multiple knives, it might be worth looking into knife bags. There are also special suitcases that will hold knives. These are good options to safely take your knives on a road trip.
