I've got this thing called a KnifeDock, which is a bamboo box with cork sheets inside [and lining the bottom]. It doesn't keep a couple dozen knives, but it does keep 6 - 10 depending on size.

I got a knife strip for my kitchen because I have very little counter and droor space. Definitely helped clear up space by getting my knife block out of the way.

Thank you for your informative and clear videos.
I've just purchased my first Nakiri knife and would like to protect it, as anyone would.
However, we're travellers, in a caravan across Australia (lucky us) and thought maybe a knife sheath could be a solution to our limited shared storage space.
Others may be interested as well 🙂
Thank you again, Ted

Good review, thank you!
I read that knife blocks dull the knife blades, whereas magnetic strips do not.
Harbor Freight magnetic strips are $2 each. IKEA is $10 per strip encased in fancy stainless steel.
I bought 10 of the HF strips for garage, office, home, RV, etc. Marvelous product!
No more counter space clutter, everything is on the wall.

Ryky: I cut a length of 3" x 1/4" thick wood and fastened it to partition off some drawer space for my cork storage solution. Works great!

This is probably my favorite no sharpening video. I certainly need a knife storage solution and am probably gonna go with the cork since I don't want to damage the backsplash to put up a magnet bar which I would usually prefer.... Although those black walnut bars are mighty handsome.

I have purchased the magnetic knife bar, after watching a film, the "Kill bill" movie Restaurant scene between Hattori Hanso & Biatris kido prompt me to buy one.

I took an olive serving plate and made it into a magnetic knife holder. Solid wood with neodymium magnets epoxied into a slot I machines into the back of the plate, looks really nice in my kitchen and also very functional since it is about 24 inch long. :) I like the walnut ones in this video too though!

It's a bit of a drive (2 hours), but hog island in Marshall is my favorite oyster bay in northern California. You can go there and buy bulk oysters, you can reserve a picnic table with a grill for free as long as you are buying oysters, and you can see the entire process of oyster harvesting there.

One more travel/knife suggestion, if you travel to Yountville (right next to Napa) you'll see world famous restraunts there including The French Laundry. Near The French Laundry, chef Thomas Keller opened up a new store called "Finesse, The Store" (next to Bouchon Bistro, another famous Keller restraunt). Inside contains a set of French knives that Keller uses for his online Masterclass videos (not sure what the brand is called). It would be nice to see French knives being reviewed since we typically see Japanese or German knives (but I am a sucker for Japanese knives thanks to you lol).

5:58 and 6:08 dude, the look on your face about the utensils TOUCHING YOUR KNIVES! OMG, good thing you found a solution😃.

I have a knife block on the counter cutting board on the sink side of the kitchen, and a magnetic strip over the stove for the stove side of the kitchen. Knives for everybody !

Thank you for reviewing knife storage. I like when you have variety, sharpening, cutting boards, knife blocks, Japan knife festival, etc. I wonder if there are any knife festivals in the USA, East meets West.

Absolutely appreciate the details in your video!!!

I currently only have 3 chef knives, two Kuma blades that I purchased and a 3rd that was a gift from a generous friend who's name rhymes with "Tricky". I keep them in their original boxes. If and when I need a storage solution I think the magnetic wood covered option will work best for me. I had thought about other magnetic solutions but those all seemed to have the magnet exposed and I had been afraid that if there was any residual moisture in the air that could promote rust. But I imagine the wood will have a slight moisture wicking effect. I generally get my blades nice and dry after I wash them but always try to guard against the unknown.

Love the orange pants dude! My favorite pair of jeans are Levi's x Disney Mickey Mouse 501s. Also great videos. Thank you!

Thanks for the link to the knife magnet, I have a fairly small one from Ebay and it barely holds anything, certainly no any of the thinner blade knives. I will buy one of the Knife magnets you recommend as I also like to buy a range of different brands and types of knives and the knife magnet is most convenient for me, it also doesn't take up bench space as my knife block does.

I keep my “handy need” knives on a magnet bar up on a cabinet side.. A Chinese cleaver, 2 Global made versions of Euro pattern chef knives, and a Global pointed paring knife. All my fine yanagis and other traditional profile blades, and my other Japanese made European pattern knifes, and my German knives, I keep in a dedicated drawer with home made hardwood dividers. They are safe, and handy, very nearby, only a turn and pull motion. I do like the magnet. The faced magnets you show are fantastic. Personally I dislike blocks.. what can get down in the slots over time??? and how do you clean those deep narrow cavities?

I have built my own oak magnetic strips. I do have the drawer inserts although after purchasing found my drawers were just an inch short.

I don't see any links to the Woodson magnetic knife strip, which is a shame.
I got the walnut to replace a steel strip that was scratching up my old blades. It's really great and yeah, ain't nothin falling off that strip, it's awesome.
I initially purchased one that was far too short for my needs (a new kitchen pegboard I was putting in) and Woodson refunded my money as soon as the return was accepted by the shipping company allowing me to put that $$ towards purchasing the larger (more expensive) strip. I appreciated that they trusted me as a customer. I also happen to really love the knife strip and get lots and lots of compliments on it as it's featured in the kitchen on the pegboard wall.
