- Do store in a sheath, knife block, or magnetic mount. You should have a knife rack or sheath that protects your individual blades once cleaned. These are easy, safe and effective ways to store your knives.
- Don’t leave your knife in the sink. The sink is great place to wash a knife, but a terrible place to leave your knife.
