What you'll get in a knife block

- A utility knife is a slim, sharp knife that can be used to cut vegetables, tender meats, cheese and layered meals.
- A bread knife is used to slice through a loaf of bread without squashing it.
- A chef's or cook's knife is a strong, all-rounder knife that can be used to slice large proteins, vegetables and fruits.
- A paring knife is a smaller, more delicate knife used for slicing small fruits and veg, as well as mincing onion and garlic.
You may also get kitchen shears/scissors and a honing rod which you can use to straighten your knife after use.
Knife block FAQ
What is a knife block?
A knife block is a wooden or plastic block with slits in it used for storing kitchen knives without blunting or breaking them. They can also be filled with plastic shoots that can be parted to store the knife in, which will then move back into place when the knife is removed.
How to clean a knife block
You can wipe down a dirty knife block with a damp sponge to remove most splashes and stains. Do not immerse wooden knife blocks in water, as the wood may retain the moisture and grow mouldy as a result. Do not place knives into a wet knife block, as it can cause the knives to rust.
How to store knives in a knife block
If your kitchen knife block has specific slots for each knife, it is important to place each knife into the correct position, as trying to force a large knife into a smaller slot may blunt your knife. Place the knife in the blade first with the sharp edge facing down into the correct slot, taking care not to forcefully push it in, as this could damage the tip of the knife.
