Knife Block & Kitchen Knives FAQs

What kitchen knives do I need?

Whether you're looking to increase your culinary skills or simply update your tired old kitchen knives, there are three essential types of knives you will always need: a chef's knife, a serrated knife and a paring knife. A great advantage to purchasing a knife block is that these basic types are included with your set, as well as additional knives or accessories for a range of specialised tasks.

How to clean a knife block

First of all, turn your wooden knife block upside down to remove crumbs or debris that may have settled into the knife slots. Hand wash the knife block in hot soapy water, rinse, and then sanitise with a quick soak in white vinegar. Turn the knife block upside down to drain and ensure that it's completely dry before reinserting the knives.

Cleaning a wooden knife block regularly - around once a month - is essential to prevent creating unhygienic conditions for your kitchen tools. Magnetic knife blocks require a little less maintenance and can simply be wiped down as needed.

How to sharpen kitchen knives?

Keeping your kitchen knives sharp is vital to ensuring easy and clean cuts when doing your meal prep. Choose from a whetstone or specialised knife sharpener for the job. You can find out more in Harris Scarfe's detailed guide on how to sharpen your kitchen knives, including the difference between sharpening and honing.
