Knives

How do you prolong your knives' lifetime and keep them sharp for longer? By storing them correctly! Read how in this blog post.

When you need a sharp knife at home, do you open your kitchen drawer and fish it out from among the garlic press, cheese slicer and pizza cutter? Does it hang on a matt magnetic rack on the wall? Or is it in a trendy knife block on the kitchen counter?

If you fish it out of the drawer, it's high time you changed your knife habits. Never store sharp knives loose in a drawer. Not only does this wear down and dull the knife blade, it also risks you cutting yourself when rummaging for the knife you need.

Choose a magnetic rack or knife block

Sharp knives belong on a magnetic rack or in a knife block, not the kitchen drawer! Both racks and knife blocks are good, responsible storage options for knives when it comes to safety, accessibility and the knives' longevity.
