Knife blocks get a bad rep for blunting knives and getting rank inside if you store knives damp and without care.
Also knife blocks are synonymous with large collections of redundant mediocre knives.
I probably wouldn’t store a brittle edge Japanese knife or carbon steel knife in a knife block, though Victorinox or German traditional knives would be fine.

@aggi I may have missed this but what is wrong with a trad knife block?
A mate has one of these magnetic vertical knife blocks...
but tbh I think the an old school vertical ones my folks have stores a lot more.
I think it's the sort of thing you're best off walking into a bricks and mortar John Lewis for.
