Magnetic Knife Blocks

Storing kitchen knives?

I was just wondering if storing my kitchen knives on a clean towel inside a large drawer would be acceptable. I don’t like knives blocks because it gets dirty in slots and magnetic knives is sort of sketchy for me.

Thanks

Any storage is better than nothing
When you store knives on the towel, one problem is that they’re open and someone may get cut, two they can bang on each other when opening/closing the drawer and damage the edges.

Given the number of my knives I use custom block – http://zknives.com/knives/kitchen/ktknv/kkmap.shtml

Slots aren’t that hard to clean with either long qtips or narrow brushes. Although, they shouldn’t get dirty that easy, especially if you put clean knives in them.

If you have to use the drawer as a storage, then I suggest you take a look at JK Adams In-Drawer Knife Wave Trays. I used ot use them until my kitchen knife collection was under 20 knives. They fit nicely in the drawer, come in various lengths and each tray can hold 4-6 big and small knives.
Quite nifty for the drawer storage. Cleaning is very easy too.

But there’s more variations.
