It may be tempting to throw your knives in a drawer if you’re looking to save some counter space, but every pro chef and knife expert we spoke to is begging you to please find another solution, especially if the knives are expensive. “Metal hitting metal is not good,” shares Quintin Middleton, knife maker and owner of Middleton Made Knives. Middleton says that storing knives in a drawer will “dull the edge of the knife” quickly and “affect the longevity” of your cutlery.

Plus, “no one wants to reach a hand in the drawer and accidentally get cut,” says Ayesha Nurdjaja, executive chef at Shuka in New York City. Nurdjaja also adds that standard slotted knife blocks are a good starting point, but “every time you take the knife out or put it back, you can scrape the blade against the wood, which will dull it over time.” From magnetic knife strips to in-drawer knife trays, read on for the best knife storage solutions recommended by the pro chefs and knife experts we spoke to.

For optimal versatility, this rotating knives block from 360KnifeBlock is knife maker Geoff Feder’s knife storage of choice. Feder, owner of Feder Knives, says that the 360 knife block The 360KB “accommodates a lot of different styles and lengths of blades” to “safely and beautifully store your knives.” The magnets are super strong, so you never have to worry about a knife sliding off the block.
