You may ask yourself, "Why do I need a knife block? I've already got a lot of knives in my drawer." There are two simple reasons. You get better access to your knives and you free up your drawer for something else.
What Type of Knife Block Should I Get?
Your style depends a lot on your goals.
Space Saver
If you want to save the most space get an ender counter or under cabinet knife block. These types of knife blocks are out of sight which means out of mind. Under counter knife blocks can swivel and turn to make getting knives out easy.
Unique Look
Unique colors like red or pink can only be accomplished with plastic blocks. If you need a specific color that isn't wood color you should get a plastic block.
Hygienic
Plastic knife blocks are not porous like wood. Wood pores tend to collect bacteria which is why plastic knife blocks are more hygienic than wood blocks.
Magnetic
If you want to hang your knives on the wall, magnetic is about the only way to go. Some knife blocks can look traditional or retro, but actually be magnetic. The real advantage is you can put the knife wherever you want because knife slots are not important. If you want to add additional knives or switch knives this style is best.
