Rating of the best stands for kitchen knives for 2022

The development of culinary and cooking art introduces new convenient devices into the kitchen. In particular, if earlier knives were stored in a plastic tray along with forks and spoons of all kinds, today a special “pedestal” is assigned for sharp assistants.

What varieties are

Holders serve simultaneously for several purposes:

1. the need to have the appliance at hand during cooking;
2. safe storage, away from children;
3. guarantees premature loss of sharpening and protection against deformation.

Wood blocks

The most popular type was originally a slotted block.
Gradually, the appearance changed, began to appear:

• bars with through grooves;
• containers with fillers;
• racks with pegs;
• strips with a magnetic surface.

All models are environmentally friendly materials and modern design.

Steel structures

The category is not presented too widely, but they have no equal in terms of durability, reliability and quality. An indisputable advantage is the compact form, ideal for saving space.

Brush coasters

This type is considered one of the most convenient varieties. The body is a flask made of plastic, ceramic or steel. The filler in the form of a "sponge" is made of polypropylene fibers, where sharp objects are placed. Such filling is well ventilated, not afraid of moisture. The insert is easy to clean in the dishwasher or under running water. Soft Touch made of plastic with quality characteristics close to rubber, resistant to any mechanical damage, including scratches.

This type is suitable for knives with stainless steel blades, as well as high-carbon steels, which are inferior to the first in terms of corrosion resistance.Blocks with an elastic synthetic sponge as a filler are safer for all types of knives and are distinguished by reliable fixation.

Graphite-rubber filler is considered one of the most popular, as it is easy to wash it by pulling it out of the case. Any household chemicals are suitable for this purpose, it is better to do this under running water.

Graphite rubber fiber is different:

• hypoallergenicity;
• environmental friendliness;
• high wear resistance.

Polypropylene fibers with straw imitation are considered an economical option for fillers, their disadvantage is rapid wear due to the tip and out of service. It is better not to use such devices for ceramic knives, since chips are possible during installation.

The best option for fillers is considered to be environmentally friendly wooden steps in a “vase” case made of any natural material.

Wooden devices with Soft Touch combine innovative filling and traditional surface design.

Magnetic holders

The safest kind of holders without damaging the tip. Ceramic knives are automatically excluded from use. But saving space, style and functionality are present.

Ceramics

The first use requires pre-rinsing in hot water and listening by wiping with an absorbent cloth. Such devices are subject to the aromatic effects of odors when it comes to detergents. Also, ceramics are heavy and brittle.

How to choose

Matching style, saving space

Each hostess builds the interior in the house individually. The kitchen is a special place where every detail must not only match the overall style, but also have its own place.

In this case, all elements play a role:

• color scheme;
• finishing materials;
• Ease of use;
• safe storage;
• organization of the workspace.

Massive stands of wooden bars have a brutal look, they occupy a tangible area.

The most unpretentious in terms of saving space can be considered magnetic pads that are mounted on the wall. Magnetic holders in the form of plates and slides also require a certain area. It is important to consider not only the dimensions but also the method of attachment.

Sufficiently compact containers made of steel, plastic, ceramics in the idea of ​​elongated bowls with fillers are a convenient solution in terms of location and maintenance.

Errors when choosing

The color scheme of holders in the form of oblong blocks sometimes plays a cruel joke. The hostesses cannot resist and try to highlight the details of the kitchen with their help. According to the recommendations of interior designers, kitchen accessories should be chosen in neutral colors, and the accent should be implemented in textiles.

Magnetic options and all kinds of flasks with polypropylene straws are not suitable for ceramic knives.
When choosing metal devices, it is important to remember that there is a certificate for the quality of stainless steel.
Plastic options should be checked for characteristics such as:

• stability;
• no smell.

An expensive set is usually sold with a stand. But with a moderate cost of knives, it is hardly worth buying a very expensive holder.
