My tip would be.
Diy knife block bamboo skewers. Bamboo skewer knife blocks are brilliant. You need far more skewers than you think you will. Also as dust settles on your knife block the dust gets between the points of the skewers and this is a pain to clean off. Instead of using bamboo skewers an even more affordable solution is to use rice.
The answer was this long redundant biscuit barrel. Please for the love of your knives make sure to have cork wood something at the bottom of the block. Diy bamboo skewer knife block purchase a container and a large bunch of bamboo skewers. There s about 1200 1300 in here.
The skewers need to be fairly snug so make sure you have enough skewers to make it a tight fit. I originally saw the idea in an instructables book and looked around to see what i d already got that didn t involve any actual diy. If the knife block is not packed tightly enough the knife can fall down between the skewers and then you re much more likely to poke yourself while you re attempting to retrieve the knife.
