Best Ways to Store Kitchen Knives

Store knives so edges are protected and hands can access them safely.

The practical answer

Knife blocks, magnetic storage, drawer inserts and blade guards can all work when designed and used correctly.

What matters most

Avoid loose drawer storage where edges strike other utensils and hands encounter exposed blades.

Where to go next

Pair storage with cleaning and care.
