What is the best way to store these knives?

I just keep them in a drawer since they have sleeves. Make sure they are clean and dry before putting in the sleeves.

I keep them in their sleeves and lay them in a drawer. They really are awesome!

Hi Sue,I have a magnetic knife strip. It's perfect for holding the knives so they aren't banging around in a drawer and safer too. Hope this helps.

My wife keeps them in their sleave laying flat on the top of our microwave or in a drawer.

I keep them in their sheaths in a drawer. That's part of the beauty; the blades are enclosed in a removable protective sheath so you can store them anywhere.

After washing and drying, I replace them in their holders and store in drawer, if the knives come without the holders I use a wooden cutting block

You need to get a sharps disposal container from your pharmacy or use something that has this walls and can be sealed so the used blades dont spill out. On other websites like westcoastshaving.com there are small metal containers that cost about a buck and are made for this purpose as well.

Never been an issue... I store them standing on the long edge next to my cutting board.

The magnet is very strong so the knives would probably stay on. However I wouldn't choose this method since you would be unable to see the knives and might cut yourself.

I think I'd stay with the disc holder. They do stack nicely, are easily accessible, less $$. I tend to store my blades right in the Cuisinart itself.

I store them in a ziploc bag with the air pressed out. Store in the cabinet away from light, not the refrigerator.

Obviously, it depends upon the size of the knives. But assuming a collection of "normal" knives, is will hold six to eight.

Actually, I wouldn't recommend that. The tips of my knives have already chipped. Just hand wash them and place them in a drawer.

The back is solid (it's actually two pieces, a magnetic strip that mounts to the wall, and a metal piece that goes over the top). You could use two-sided tape, however the screws offset the base strip from the wall, allowing extra clearance for the knives. If using tape, I would layer a few pieces of padded tape, to mimic that stand-off. It will allow you to grab knives easier, as the handles won't be flush against the wall.

My son has 6 knives in his right now. Could hold maybe 10 knives of about small to medium size.

The foam inside is elastic. There is little space inside&#12290; you lay the knives on the foam and close the door by pressing down the knives. The knives are kept in place by pressure between the foam and glass door

I keep mine in a mason jar. They store very well and last a very long time. I'm probably 2 year in on my first purchase.

I would never put nice knives in the dishwasher. Just hand wash them when you're done if you want them to last.

I used the sleeves that came on the knives. I was a meat cutter before retirement and used the plastic that was on the knife. The sleeves on the case are mesh and the blade will need a cover. Worked very well for carrying knives to the different stores I worked at.

Yes, you can physically place the knives with blades up. Obviously, it would be very unsafe to do so, considering there would be no protection from the exposed edges. Also, when placed with the blade down, the curved handle grip naturally holds the knife in place.

This is very flexible a knife-block, which does not have fixed slots like a wooden block. Thus, it is completely up to you to decide how you want to keep the knives inside them. You can put them along the length, diagonally, or even across the length. I put around 8 knives (6 small knives, one ceramic santoku, one long bread knife, and even a thin vegetable peeler), and yet there's space for a bit more probably. The good part is that the knives stay snug inside - I feel they stay better than in a wooden block. Hope this helps.

By all means store whatever you would like in the block if it fits. There are three of the knife openings/slots that are smaller than the others. These are the 2 on the lowest row & the 1 opening/slot located just above these 2.
