Bayonet Knife Pinned
Improperly stored knives become damaged and dull more quickly. Using a knife block to store them not only protects them, but is also safer than placing them in a drawer. Cuts can occur when you are trying to find a knife entangled with other items. Drawers are also easier for young children to reach. With blocks, you can find models that have locks to prevent children from removing the knives. With so many styles and colors on the market, you should be able to easily find a style to complement your kitchen.
You will often find bamboo included in categories labeled as wood. While not technically made of wood, bamboo is actually very durable. These are traditionally pale in color. Hardwoods, such as maple, oak, or cherry, are also used for blocks. Stains can vary, but typically maple and oak are chosen for lighter finishes, while walnut and cherry are used for dark ones. Beech and pine is also used in some economical models, but these are less desirable since they can warp much more easily.
Slot free blocks use magnets to keep knives in place. The magnets are hidden beneath the surface, which is most often wood. Since knives are held on the exterior of the block, it is more convenient for knives with an odd shape. The knives are also fully visible, so selection is made faster and easier.
For those who want to add a splash of color, plastic blocks provide the most variety, offered in colors from snow white to apple red. There are some cheaper styles that may not wear well, but the more expensive models are extremely durable. They are also more practical to clean than wood, which can be warped if placed in water.
Under the cabinet knife blocks keep the counter space clear while storing knives safely. Some models swivel or pull out to make it easier to retrieve the proper knife. These styles place knives even further out of reach of young children. Most styles are wood, but there are also magnetic and plastic styles available.
Locks keep the knives safely out of the hands of children. Most of them work on the premise that two separate elements must be engaged to release the lock. Locking models of virtually every style of block can be found.
Improper storage will result in knives that need to be sharpened more frequently. They can also be nicked or scratched by other utensils. A knife block can prevent this. With the number of choices on the market, you will likely have little trouble locating a suitable one.
