There are lots of great ways to store your knives. However, magnetic knife blocks are one of our favorite kitchen storage solutions! Just as it’s important to properly store cutting boards to maintain their lifespan, knives also need extra care. Keep reading to learn the different ways to store knives in your kitchen. And discover the benefits of choosing a magnetic knife block over other available options.  How to Store KnivesHow you store your kitchen knives and cutlery is extremely important. Improper knife storage can dull the blades of your knifes more quickly than if stored properly. Storing knives correctly is also important for safety concerns. Loose knives in a drawer are an easy way to accidentally cut yourself. To protect your knife blades and avoid accidents, knife storage separate from your other utensils and kitchen tools is a must. This keeps them from bumping into other items and damaging the edge. It also protects fingers from unintentional cuts.  Here are the ways you can store knives in your kitchen:
 Magnetic Knife BlocksWe love the advantages magnetic knife blocks offer when storing kitchen cutlery. While there are numerous types of blocks available for purchase, our favorite are wooden magnetic knife blocks. Not only is wood a beautiful material for displaying these everyday kitchen tools, but they also provide better blade protection over metal blocks. Why You Should Choose a Magnetic Knife Block for Your KitchenMagnetic knife blocks offer several benefits that you won’t get from a traditional wooden knife block.
 How Do Magnetic Knife Blocks Work?Just like regular wooden knife blocks, magnetic knife blocks sit on your counter and provide a place to store and organize your cutlery. Rather than providing a slot for each different type of knife however, you attach your knives directly to the face or sides of the block depending upon the style. To make this type of knife block functional, it contains either a medium or heavy-duty strength magnet inside the block to hold the knives in place. Neodymium magnets, also known as rare earth magnets, are most commonly used for this application as they are incredibly strong and reliable. The magnets used are contained and hidden inside the knife block, surrounded by either wood, metal or plastic, to provide a decorative exterior for display. Not only are magnetic knife blocks a beautiful and functional way to store your prized cutlery, but they are also a safe storage solution for knives.  How to use a Magnetic Knife BlockTo store knives using this method, simply place the knife onto the block. The magnet inside will then hold it securely in place until it’s ready to use. For countertops blocks, we advise placing the knives on the block with the handle facing upwards and the blade facing down toward the counter. This will help to prevent cuts from accidentally grabbing the wrong end of the knife. When placing knives onto the block, set the back end of the knife on the block first, so the sharpened blade lands on it last. To remove a knife, take it by the handle and gently pull it off the block. As you do so, slightly twist the knife as you pull so that the side with the blade comes off the block first. By doing this, you avoid scraping the blade against the block and hastening the dulling of the blade. In addition, you want to take care not to overload the block with knives. We recommend you leave ample space between each blade for your own safety as well as to protect the integrity of the blades. By providing room between the knives, you help to prevent them accidentally bumping against one another and chipping or damaging the metal. Are Magnetic Knife Blocks Bad for Knives?Magnetic blocks are a wonderful way to store knives. But are they bad for your knives? As long as you are using a well-made, quality wooden magnetic knife block, this storage solution isn’t bad for your knives. When used correctly, they are a sturdy solution to keep your cutlery organized when not in use without risking damage to the blades. Additionally, there is no evidence to suggest that magnets damage knife blades over time. Are Magnetic Knife Holders Safe?Magnetic knife holders are a safe solution for storing knives. Not only do they keep your knives stable to avoid damage to the blade, but they also are more sanitary than a traditional wooden block. For the best results, we recommend that you choose a wood magnetic knife block for storage. This ensures the magnet is strong and durable enough to last. Cheap magnets will lose their holding power over time and can cause knives to slip or fall. How to Clean a Wooden Magnetic Knife BlockCleaning a regular wood knife block can be tedious. Not only do you have to soak the block in a mild bleach (or vinegar) solution to kill bacteria that may be lingering inside the slots, but you also need to take care that it dries thoroughly so there’s no mold growth. Wooden magnetic knife blocks on the other hand don’t have slots that collect food particles or debris. As there are no holes to contend with, cleaning a magnetic block is a lot easier. Simply clean your block with hot soapy water, then dry with a clean dishtowel.  Where to Buy Wood Magnetic Knife BlocksThe magnetic wood knife block from LifeLong Gifts is an ideal way to store your knives and kitchen cutlery sets. This stunning, universal knife block is crafted from richly hued, environmentally friendly rubberwood. Measuring 11.75” wide by 8.75” tall, the sleek design makes it perfect for any countertop. While its eye-catching design provides a beautiful way to display your knives.

This medallion can be engraved to create unique client gifts with your choice of personalization. Or buy one for your own kitchen along with our amazing custom cutlery!

If pungent kitchen odors are your nemesis, then you must try stainless steel soap! This useful kitchen tool quickly and easily neutralizes the smell of garlic, onion, and fish on hands. So, this useful gadget is not only a must for your own home, but it also makes a great personalized gift for clients, friends, and family.  What Is Stainless Steel Soap?If you’re like me, when a recipe calls for one clove of garlic, I’m immediately signaled to triple the amount. I tend to be heavy handed with onions as well. Unfortunately, if you cook often, then you know that the smell from these ingredients can leave lingering odors that are difficult to wash off. Stainless steel soap is a handy solution to common kitchen and cooking odors that get left behind on skin. This creative kitchen gadget is shaped like a regular bar of soap. However, it is made from heavy-gauge, sand-polished stainless steel. When used in combination with water, this metal soap absorbs foul odors that get left behind by foods that contain sulfur molecules, such as garlic, onions, and fish.  Does Stainless Steel Soap Work?Believe it or not, metal can absorb odors! Therefore, stainless does work to remove offending odors that can be difficult to wash off solely with soap and water. While they won’t get your hands clean, using metal is a viable solution to kitchen and body odor caused by garlic, fish, onions, and other common cooking odors. To understand how stainless-steel soap works, you’ll need a little bit of scientific insight.  How Does Stainless Steel Soap Work?Metal soap bars neutralizes odors on skin. This is all due to the chemistry between certain foods and stainless steel. Both garlic and onions contain chemical compounds known as amino acid sulfoxides. These molecules form sulfenic acids that then become a gas known as propanetrial S-oxide. When exposed to water, sulfuric acid then forms. This not only causes onions, for example, to burn your eyes, but it also leaves a lingering smell on your body. Stainless steel, however, binds to these sulfur molecules. As these compounds adhere more strongly to metal than to your skin, metal soap is able to absorb the odors on your hands to remove the scent. Not only does the metal assist in the removal of body odor caused by onions and garlic, but it also works for fish.  Does Stainless Steel Remove Body Odor?While stainless steel works wonders at removing body odor on skin caused by foods that contain sulfuric compounds, whether or not it works as a deodorant is up for debate. During our research we found that yes, there are individuals who use metal soap as a deodorant stone, much in the same way as one would a crystal deodorant stick. One person even used this type of metal for foot odor by running the end of stainless-steel spoon between his toes! 😮 Like mineral salt stones, we’ve read that some folks dampen stainless steel soap bars then rub them onto wet skin or underarms to assist in the removal of body odors. (Though it won’t PREVENT smells that deodorant usually tackles.) However, we’ve not personally tried using this product on our armpits ourselves. So, if you do, be sure to let us know the outcome! (We absolutely LOVE hearing from our customers.)  How to Use Stainless Steel SoapWhile you don’t necessarily have to use a metal soap bar to neutralize kitchen smells on your skin, this brilliant kitchen gadget is preferable (and likely more sanitary) than rubbing your hands along the inside of your stainless-steel sink. To use a stainless-steel soap bar, simply hold your hands under COLD running water. (It won’t work without the water.) Then rub the metal soap onto your hands for 10 to 30 seconds. This process will tackle any lingering odors that you aren’t able to wash away with soap and water alone.

 Stainless Steel Soap ReviewWe’ve gotten some great feedback on our metal soaps from happy customers who’ve our products themselves and given them as client gifts. Here’s a stainless-steel soap review from Geralann Tabet, a licensed loan agent and sales manager. I bought these as closing gifts. I have always liked unique gift giving. People have often commented and have appreciated [receiving these as gifts. Some of their remarks are] as follows:  Care InstructionsCleaning solutions can damage the finish on stainless steel. Therefore, it’s important to rinse your stainless-steel soap bars well after cleaning. You also never want to soak these types of products in chemicals or solutions that contain salt, vinegar, or chlorine as this can cause irrevocable damage. To clean stainless steel soap, simply wash it in warm water with a mild dish soap. Then wipe it clean with a soft microfiber cloth. If there are any lingering odors you’d like to remove from a metal bar of soap, sprinkle the wet bar with baking soda. Allow to sit for several minutes, then gently scrub off the baking soda and rinse.  StorageThere’s no special way that you need to store metal soaps. Just like regular soap, you want to keep the bars dry and allow for ample drainage. Basically, you don’t want them to sit in a pool of water. For easy storage, all the Infinity stainless steel soaps you purchase from LifeLong Gifts™ come with a simple, decorative soap dish for storage or display. Choose from an acacia wood soap dish or a black plastic base.  You can explore more of our creative gift ideas here, including our best closing gift the Ulu Elite™ knife and Ulu Mate™ bowl board.
