Kitchen - one of the favorite places of Russian families. It is from there that there are seductive smells, where all the households gather for dinner, leading leisurely conversations. To make the kitchen cozy, every detail is important. This fully applies to an accessory such as a knife stand.
Why do we need knife stands?
Knives - one of the most necessary and at the same time dangerous kitchen tools. Such utensils require special care and accommodation. If the knives are put, wherever they are, they will quickly become dull and lose the appeal of appearance. Many hide the knives in the closed drawers of the lockers. This, of course, is safe in terms of accessibility, if the house has small children. But such placement is not always convenient, especially in cases where the knife is needed urgently. The problem of placement is easily solved by special supports, which can be purchased at any ware shop. They simultaneously solve three problems:
- retain all the properties of knives;
- hiding a dangerous tool;
- are the original decorative element of your kitchen.
Types of knife stands
Today it is not difficult to purchase a knife storage device. The problem can be solved by visiting a decent store where dishes are sold. True, here there can be other complexity - a choice of a support.
Generally speaking, the supports can be divided into two large groups. One is the product in which the blade of the knives is completely hidden to the eyes. Devices of a different kind leave tools completely open to the eye.
Let's start with the first category of supports. In the set of many sets of knives is already a stand for knives, where for each size there is a specially allocated groove. But it is not difficult to find a universal version, equipped with various grooves, you will have to choose the right one for your knives yourself.
A modern version - a stand for knives with filler. In the case there is a graphite-rubber, bamboo or propylene mass with a structure resembling a brush.
The knife is firmly and firmly stuck in the filler and is perfectly stored in this form. The shape of such a knife holder can be very different: noodles (that is, round), square, rectangular, oval. Various materials of the case - plastic, wood.
There is also a silicone stand for knives, usually oblong-oval shape and bright colors. To create accents in the kitchen - what you need.
More familiar model - stand with grooves, where vertically placed each knife separately. Stable base, solid appearance - all this is typical for a wooden knife stand. Such an accessory easily fits into any design and looks impressive.
There are models decorated with elements of stainless steel.
A cheaper option is a plastic stand. When choosing such products, pay attention to the presence of anti-slip feet or linings. The latter ensure the stability of the structure when removing the knife.
Products made of durable glass or transparent plastic belong to the same kind of supports with grooves, but at the same time allow you to see the elegance of the blade.
"Open" stands have different variations and are more suitable for beautiful expensive knives. These designs demonstrate the beauty and fineness of the blade of the kitchen knife. Most often, these stands are strips with a magnetic tape, which is attached to the attraction of a metal blade. The magnetic stand for the knives can have a wooden, plastic or metal casing, the magnet itself "hides" inside.
There are also products with an open magnet. Minimalist design will allow such a stand to fit easily into the interior of the kitchen.
