Do you mean with the blades sticking out of the block or with the blades towards the back of the block?finley1991 said:I tell people at shows that if they have a knife block to store the knives in it with the blades up... that way they won't dull them when they pull them out. I also remind them to tell everyone in their household about the change before they turn the knives so there are no accidents!
Which one do you have. They have different ones.ginamkiely said:i just got that kapoosh knife block with all the little spaghetti looking things that keep the knives in there. I LOVE IT!!!! i would recommend that. i have ALL the forged knives in there and all my colored quickut's and the color coated knives too and i still have room for my new green ones i hope to get soon
LOL! I knew, I just needed to verify. LOL!janetupnorth said:In blade first, sharp side up...I don't think they would fit handles first - LOL!
I have the old PC knife block, have always stored them blade side up and they've been fine...never had them sharpened other than the sharpener in the block...

Be careful putting them in your TTA. The knives aren't designed to rest on their tips, and many consultants have had them bend or break, even when stored in the cases.Debala715 said:I just keep mine in their sleeves in the drawer or in my turnabout.
chefkristin said:I hope PC does come out with something to store the knifes. That is the ONLY thing I don't like about them. The covers are just too loose. They always fall off.
wadesgirl said:I cannot even get the cover off my utility knife most of the time. I never show it at my shows because I'm afraid to pull to hard and cut myself. Guess I have the opposite problem.
Yes, it is safe to store forged cutlery in a butcher block. In fact, storing your knives in a butcher block can help keep them sharp and in good condition.
No, storing your forged cutlery in a butcher block will not damage the blades. In fact, the wooden block will help protect the blades from dulling or scratching.
Yes, you can store other types of knives in a butcher block. However, it is important to note that the block is best suited for storing forged cutlery, as the slots are designed specifically for these types of knives.
To clean your butcher block, use warm soapy water and a soft cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that can damage the wood. To maintain the block, periodically oil it with food-grade mineral oil to prevent it from drying out and cracking.
Both options are suitable for storing forged cutlery. However, a butcher block may provide better protection for the blades and may be more aesthetically pleasing in a kitchen. A magnetic strip, on the other hand, allows for easier access to the knives and can save counter space.
