Kitchen knives should allways be quickly and easily at hand. For a domestic use of the knives we recommend to keep them in a knife block which should be worked solidely and stable and be suitable in his materiality with the knives. If there is not enough space to place a knife block, a magnetic bar would be a great alternative. To avoid damages of the blades or handles, never leave knives loosely but protect it with a blade guard.
