It is important to have the best set of knives in your kitchen. A good knife should be balanced and comfortable to hold in your hand, razor sharp allowing you to make precise cuts with ease, and strong and robust to serve you for generations.
Having knife set in your kitchen not only makes preparing food a much more enjoyable experience, the look and feel of a premium knife is like no other.
Although it is important buying the best knife block set that suit your needs, it is equally vital understanding how to care for them and store them properly. Tossing your knives directly into a drawer loaded with other utensils is a sure fire way of causing damage to your knife’s blade.
It is essential to follow certain guidelines to ensure your knives remain sharp and cut well for many years to come.
Counter top storage


When you think of knife storage you probably picture a classic knife block set. This is probably the most popular method of knife storage, especially since many knife sets are sold in their own block.
One thing to remember: the knife block that came with your cutlery set will limit you to only those knives. If you ever expand your collection, you’ll need another storage solution.
If you have a large or varied collection of knives, consider a knife block with a center that allows for multiple knife sizes. That includes blocks with plastic or wood rods in the center to flex and meet your needs.
When storing knives in a block, it’s important to slide the knife in by pressing the duller, back side of the blade against the block, to keep the cutting edge sharp.
Benefits of Using a Knife Block


There are many benefits to having high-quality storage for your favourite and professional knife set. Knife blocks are not only a more convenient option but are oftentimes much safer than drawer storage.
Kitchen knives are all too often stored together, in a drawer in the kitchen. There are a couple of concerns with this form of storage; clutter, hazard, and damage.
In a general storage drawer, there can be an opportunity for your valued knives to become lost in the shuffle. An over-packed drawer is not only a sore sight but can also cause unnecessary frustration for you.
Another concern in regards to typical knife storage in everyday or professional kitchens is the safety of storage in a drawer. Often times, amid the busyness of a kitchen, a chef or cook may swiftly reach into their drawers only to mistakenly grab or mishandle their knives. This mispractice can and should be avoided.
One of the most important factors in preserving high quality and valued knives is, in fact, care and storage. Far too often, the friction and interaction between knives shuffled within a drawer can cause unnecessary scratches or damage.
All of these issues with standard drawer storage can be avoided by using a creative and sleek Knife Block. Kamikoto offers these blocks in two spectacular colours designed to complement your knives, Maple Wood and Ash Wood.
