Fact #1. A quality knife set is an investment and should be treated with care. In addition to storing these tools in a good knife block, there are certain habits one can avoid to prolong their lives. One should never put their knives in a drawer, for example. The blades of unsheathed knives rub against other items and can become dull.
Fact #2. For those who are limited on counter space, a knife block that can be laid flat in a drawer or mounted on a wall can be useful. While one ideally never places a damp knife back in their block, most people will do it at some point and time. If you believe you may do this in the future, consider a bamboo-built model. This type of wood resists water. It won't warp if you accidentally do put wet knives inside of it.
Fact #3. One popular space-saving style of knife block resembles a drawer. This type can be attached beneath a cabinet, and slides out, presenting knives which are usually firmly held in place by magnetic strips. Because knives do not need to be inserted into this block, their blades can remain sharper.
Fact #4. A common nuisance of many blocks is that the user cannot see which knife they're pulling out. Chefs with extensive knife sets should consider an entirely see-through block. This way, they'll always know which knife they're retrieving. Many blocks have angled tops for easy knife removal, too. Some also have slots for kitchen shears.
Fact #5. Never cut into food immediately after sharpening your blades. The process of sharpening produces microscopic pieces of metal that can infiltrate your food. Rinse and wipe off knives after sharpening them, and before putting them on any food. It's also important that one doesn't leave food residue on their knives for long periods of time.
