Every kitchen should have a knife block. This block is designed to hold a number of small knives as well as large ones and most also have a space for scissors. This is a very convenient and safe place to keep them stored when not in use.

There are often questions as to the best place to put one of these blocks. Some people prefer them near the kitchen stove, others prefer them on the counter. In either case, this makes the knives within a easy reach and keeps the person cooking from having to walk back and forth between work spaces.

There are a number of reasons one should not place sharp knives randomly in a kitchen drawer. First, there is always the danger of reaching in the drawer and being stuck by the end of a knife. While this does not seem like a problem, people have often suffered severe infection from the knife end piercing the skin. Even if the knife has been washed, there is danger of some sort of bacteria being in the drawer and clinging to the knife blade.

The blocks are arranged with small slots in front for steak knives and large slots in back for the larger knives. These knives are very sharp and, with only the handles exposed, they can be removed while avoiding cutting a finger or the hand. This is a good safety feature.

Their weigh is evenly distributed so there is no danger of them falling over. In addition, they are designed so the knives sit at a slant and are convenient to remove. There is no danger of it tipping over and spilling the knives.

Choosing a knife block is an excellent way to keep the kitchen clean, yet safe. This might be a primary concern if there are children in the house. There are several different types of these blocks available so there is a choice of something that will fit in with the other items of any kitchen.
