Storing kitchen knives is always actual. Some people buy them one by one, and when not in use, the knives jangle inside a drawer getting dull and nicked. Other people store an enormous set of nine or ten kitchen knives, six steak knives, scissors, and a sharpening steel in a huge angled knife block on the countertop. If you need a cool block to store all the knives you are using now, here are some cool tutorials you may use.
This cool knife block design takes up less countertop space and shows off the natural beauty of dark walnut wood. The piece is really simple: four vertical boards separated by ten strategically placed dividers. The dividers are shorter than the verticals so there is room to facilitate evaporation in case a knife is inserted wet after washing. It would be easy to make three or four of these in an afternoon, reserving an additional afternoon for finishing.
