Just turn them upside down.
Thats why the trick Ina Garten posted on Instagram caught my attention.
In the video, she shares that she stores her knives upside down in her knife block.

Her solution is simple:she puts the knives in the slots with the sharp edge facing up.
However, the bottom slots where the steak knives go are usually vertical no matter what.
Is Your Knife Block Actually Dulling Your Knives?

Just double-check that your knives arent so tightly grouped on the strip that theyre touching each other.
Dont put your knives in the dishwasher:Never (ever) run your kitchen knives through the dishwasher.
The blades may knock against your dishes or utensils, which will dull them and could even chip them.
Knife handles, especially wooden ones, can become warped and loose due to the dishwashers intense heat.
While end grain boards are more expensive, theyre also more durable and can last a lifetime.
