Benefits of Using a Knife Block

Knife blocks can be just as important of an investment as the knives themselves

There are many benefits to having high-quality storage for your favourite and valued knives.  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.

This is not only a beautiful way to showcase and display your knives, but also the most efficient method of storage. Our knife blocks are magnetic for quick and secure storage.

This storage option provides a beautiful presentation of your valued knives. The countertop placement will keep your knives conveniently close to your work station for efficient retrieval. This will also ensure that you select the right knife, safely every time as opposed to shuffling through a drawer. 

The benefit of countertop storage includes being out of reach of little hands and placed in a visible and secure location. 

When designing our Kamikoto Knife Blocks, the focus was on convenience, care, and safety.
