Does this drain? Can i just stick wet knives inside without drying them?

No, this does not drain. FYI, for better care, knives should be wiped dry with towel not left to dry.

The bristles are plastic and it seems pretty open, so while you could get away with putting "clean wet knives" into it, I would worry about mildew. It doesn't say anything about having any antimicrobial properties so while you wouldn't likely damage the block, I wouldn't do it myself.

You never should put good knives away wet, in a wood knife block or in this. Good way to grow bacteria and/or to ruin the handles and blades. Take ten seconds and properly dry your knives first.

As far as I'm concerned, there are zero drainage issues. The sink won't be completely dry after it drains, but no sink is. There is no standing water, if that is your concern.

It's probably safe in the upper rack, but frankly, it's not neccessary and I wouldn't risk it. The cutting surface doesn't actually make contact with the contents of the can. A simple rinse in warm water should be fine.

No. It doesn't have drains. Water will build up there and you will have to manually drain it before it starts smelling.

I would not put this in a dishwasher! This is a corded electric device! Wipe down exterior with a damp cloth, and wash the cutting head in the sink in a bowl of soapy water; run the blades for about 15 seconds, and rinse in clear water.

Yes - there are slots for drainage, and also ribs that the soap sits on, so it keeps it dry. You can slide off the soap dish to clean it.

I have never had an issue with that. I actually like this drainer very much and would order again. The ONLY negative comment I would have is the silverware holder. You have to be aware of which end to direct items or they will slip through or items like knives will get wedged.

Thats just preservative that they coat the blade with for storage (nobody wants to buy a rusty cutting-tool). It will evaporate or dry up when you use it. You will probably need to scrub the blade with gun-oil or WD-40 every so often anyway, after its been used.

Since its a whetstone, you should be soaking it in water before you use it and keep it moist during use. This will create a slurry during sharpening. I sharpen over the sink and rinse the knife between inspections.

Actually, I wouldn't recommend that. The tips of my knives have already chipped. Just hand wash them and place them in a drawer.

Slip out, no, that doesn't happen unless you put forks into the silverware holder tines down. Same for very thin-bladed knives. They both will slip thru the wire cage a bit. My holder is hooked to the side of the unit, not to the back as in the photo. So whatever slips a bit thru the cage just hangs in the air, not touching anything.

You need to wash knifes by hand and with a soft cloth dry them by hand. They will stay clean and shine like new. They are so sharp it's good to clean them the minute you are done using them, children could really be hurt by just leaving them around.

I haven't had this experience - I've had one global knife more 2 years another more than a year. I wash in warm soapy water, rinse and dry and store in a knife drawer with slots. I don't soak it or wash in dishwasher Hope this helps. Mine are so wonderful! Liza

I am of the opinion that a fresh water soak after completely dousing the knife in oil will probably be alright. You will have to take any scales off afterwards to oil and let dry out as areas like that will be most susceptible to rust.

yes, but i suggest that if you are using it for those items, just pour it into a container large enough to have the blades of the knives completely submerged, then if there's still enough space in the container, might as well pour in the small screws as well...

Hello, there are no drains. You will have to dump the water out when you are finished.

I have been using my knife for a while. I have not seen this with my knife. I do hand wash all my knives. These knives are not expensive. So I dont worry about it to much.
