Knife storage

BioDiver · Post by **BioDiver** » Tue Oct 31, 2017 10:51 am

Just wondering how y'all store your knives when they're not in use, either at home or at work. I have a 14" maple magnetic strip that I keep my stuff on at home, but people still swear by knife blocks even though they get gunky and gross after a year.

I use a block at home. If your knives always go in clean the block stays clean.

At work we have a few magnetic strips that I use depending on what needs to be done any given day.

Mag block for knives in rotation. Boxes for knives not in rotation.

Mag rack for the house, roll for travel and Pelican case for long storage, knives out of rotation. Trying to get sayas built for all of them, but it will take another 5 years to complete.

This issue crops up repeatedly. I don't think I will ever be satisfied by less expensive market solutions. They are not designed for aficionados like us.

You mean like a block? Or cardboard sleeves?

Wooden magnetic knife bars.

I am not sure, had it for years. I will take a pic when I get home.

I like the best of both worlds, a block but with open air magnetic racks ...... LOL!

Very nice datster! Do they fit 300mm yanagibas?

If those are the Arte Legno magnetic block available on Amazon, I had issues with the finish on those blocks. They aren't properly sealed and are prone to discoloration. You can't treat them with block oil or anything the way you can a traditional knife block/strip. Maybe beeswax. Anyway... a possible issue if you're sensitive to that kind of thing.

No problems yet, same brand but not from Amazon. Of course, I'm only about a year in, time will tell.

The longest board is like 294 mm, so, yes and no, depends if it is a true 300mm. I had one that fit, it was a short 300mm, LOL. The one I have now, the tip hits the bottom board before it rests on the handle, it will work but it scares me so I opt to keep it in a box.

They're beautiful, but I had issues with F&F on the first one I ordered, and the second one got oil spots on it the very first night it was in the house. (And I wipe everything down at the end of the day.) Which is a shame, because I love those blocks. Here's a link to my too-long Amazon review (with photos and whatnot).

Yeah, mine doesn't have the black inserts holding it together, it has a solid wood bottom. I wonder if Amazon might be a counterfeit? I bought mine at https://www.cuttingboard.com
