Before we moved, we stuck our kitchen knives on magnetic knife racks. We currently keep them with all the other kitchen utensils in a big, deep drawer in a butcher’s block.
To be honest, I don’t think it’s the safest way to store them; it would be easy to cut your hand or fingers reaching down carelessly into a tangle of implements.
As a pair of former chefs, we have almost two dozen kitchen knives. Different tasks require different tools; slicing a loaf of bread, chopping onions, peeling veg… we both have favourite knives for certain jobs.
We previously had very industrial ones that you’d see in every professional restaurant kitchen. However, I’m liking the look of the wooden ones – which would have a magnetic strip embedded within. For our quantity of knives, we’ll probably need a pair of racks… and you can’t go wrong with two for less than a tenner!
