How best to store your kitchen knives

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.
