can i stick a just washed, wet knife in there to dry

You could. But like anything wet it will eventually attract germs and mold. For this reason I love this knife block. You can take it apart and wash it. Something you can't do with a wooden block.

I wouldn't do that. I would take a moment to dry it first. I think it would take a very long time for it to dry with all the plastic "fingers" surrounding it. It would encourage mold and bacteria to grow.

I love my Bodum, but for health safety reasons I would not stick wet knives in it. You know: mold, bacteria.

Yes, you can easily wash and hang dry it. You don't want to subject the Temperpedic material to excessive heat. Otherwise getting it wet is ok. The attached label states "Handwash" using mild detergent, do not bleach, do not tumble dry, do not iron and do not dry clean.

Although it is in there pretty tight, I don't think it is waterproof. If it was, I'm sure Victorinox would tout it. And if they did, a knife gets a lot of abuse, and it would be hard to maintain. I'd dip mine in water for you, but I'm afraid what might happen! Sorry I couldn't be more help. Maybe write the company.

I do not, I think slicing would make it dry out faster, unsliced you may have to just slice a bit off the cut end if not used all up.

Not a good idea Brandi. Ginsu advises against it. I have no problem washing and drying them. everything else goes into the dishwasher but not my knives. Michael

I wouldn't think so I would dry clean. Its a very nice jacket and wouldn't want to ruin it. Hand clean the bugs off is what i did:/

I always wash my things too. You can dry it with a paper towel, it should be fine. It wouldn't take long to dry it at all.

No, just be sure to use enough product - don't be stingy with it, and use a clean microfiber towel to dry.

My husband is diligent about washing everything in soap & water. After reading comments about needing to dry well to prevent rust, I make sure to pat the cutting blade and metal parts dry with a soft towel and lie it down wide open to air dry. I like Maria's idea and will try it next time.

NO, since you can't take it apart. I am very careful and don't stick it in water. If you think about it it doesn't get too dirty. Just small pieces of whatever you are cutting. I wipe with a very hot dish cloth and that seems to work. Key thing is don't stick it in water. Hope this helps. I love this little chopper.

I just ordered this so don't have yet but I'm going to guess here. If this is anything like my knives in my knife block - you do not want to store this wet or it will get the rust marks. Knives in knife blocks must be completely dry before storing in block - I'll use this same idea with this item

I wanted to add that washing these knives by hand and storing them immediately in its' block eliminates the chance of being severely cut or injured if one were to grab a handful of utensils at once from the dishwasher to put them away. They are that sharp and pointy.

You can use it dry, with water or oil. I would suggest using water. Its less messy.

I'll measure the slot when I get home. I do dry my knives first before putting them away.

I hand wash it. Be extra careful when using/washing as it is very sharp. I also store it in the protective plastic sleeve that it came with.

On the box states to hand wash only and dry immediately this is recommended for all knives especially well made ones.

on the box is written: like all well made knives, hand wash only and dry immediately. I washed them a few times in dishwasher, nothing happened. But most of the time I wash them by hand.
