Which Kitchen Knife Accessories Are Must-Haves?

Kitchen knife accessories are tools and items designed to support the use and maintenance of knives. 

They allow you to maintain and upkeep your knives easily, prolonging their lifespan and ensuring they remain ready for use and safe from the elements. 

Here are some essential kitchen knife accessories you can get at Nacionale Bladeworks. 

Knife Bags

Knife bags or knife rolls are perfect for chefs transporting their tools safely. 

Our Nacionale Bladeworks Knife Roll is made from extra durable, water-resistant canvas with an additional protection lining. 

This 18-inch bag can hold knives up to 10 inches and usually fits 8 to 10 knives, depending on size. It even includes a zippered compartment for stashing essentials like honing tools or a spare pair of gloves.

The included adjustable/removable carrying strap also makes it easy to sling your knife bag over your shoulder or carry it comfortably by hand. 

Available in army green, black, navy blue, and turquoise, these water-resistant knife bags ensure your knives are secure, organized, and ready for any kitchen task.

Blade Guards

If you take your kitchen tools seriously, you know how critical it is to keep your knife blades in tip-top shape. This is where our knife guards come into play. 

Essential for protecting blades during storage and transport, Nacionale Magnetic Knife Guards come in different sizes made to match typical blade lengths, such as 145mm, 165mm, 190mm, and 215mm. 

This innovative design allows these accessories to protect the blade's edge and provides an easy and stylish way to store and transport knives safely.

Magnetic Knife Strip

Space-saving and stylish, magnetic knife strips are a cook's go-to for keeping their most-used knives readily accessible. This accessory adds a professional touch to your kitchen while keeping your knives organized on display.

Here are more reasons why you should consider adding one to your kitchen.

• No more rummaging through drawers! Magnetic strips allow you to showcase your favorite knives while keeping them within easy reach.
• Unlike in-drawer storage, magnetic strips separate your blades, preventing nicks and accidental cuts.
• Free up valuable counter and drawer space by mounting your knives on the wall.

Whetstones

Whetstones are essential for maintaining a sharp edge on knives. Unlike traditional whetstones, our 1000 Grit Nacionale No-Soak Whetstone requires no soaking. Just add water, and you can begin sharpening. 

It comes with a rubber base that easily attaches to the glass side for stability. Its design makes it a practical choice for both professional chefs and home cooks.

Frequently Asked Questions 

How Do You Store Kitchen Knives? 

Store your kitchen knives on countertop knife blocks, drawers, and wall-mounted magnetic strips. The best option will depend on your kitchen's layout. Whatever you choose, be sure keep your knives dry, away from heat, and out of the reach of children.

What Do Chefs Keep Their Knives In?

Chefs prioritize grab-and-go accessibility and gear protection. They use magnetic strips for easy access, blade guards for individual protection, and rolling bags for transport. Drawers with sheaths or organizers are popular, too.

How Often Should You Sharpen Kitchen Knives?

Sharpening frequency depends on several factors, such as steel quality, usage, maintenance, and cutting surface. 

Here is a general guideline based on our customer feedback.

• Home cooks: Sharpen every 3-6 months, hone daily or weekly.
• Professional chefs: Sharpen once a week or once a month, hone daily.

Professional sharpening is recommended every 1-2 years, but you can also use a whetstone at home every 2-3 months.
