Kitchen knives cannot be stored in a regular box, as the blade quickly loses its sharpness when in contact with other objects. For these products, special stands and holders are produced, which differ from each other in shape, size, material of manufacture.

The best knife holders

Each kitchen should have a separate place that allows you to store knives within reach. You can organize such a space with the help of stands and holders.

Experts recommend buying them taking into account the material from which the knives are made and the general style of the room. For stainless steel, magnetic and wooden blocks are good, for ceramics — plastic and polypropylene holders. For high carbon steel — magnetic stands.

Reasons to buy:

• compact size with good capacity;
• stable position;
• aesthetic appearance.
