can i stick a just washed, wet knife in there to dry

You could. But like anything wet it will eventually attract germs and mold. For this reason I love this knife block. You can take it apart and wash it. Something you can't do with a wooden block.

I wouldn't do that. I would take a moment to dry it first. I think it would take a very long time for it to dry with all the plastic "fingers" surrounding it. It would encourage mold and bacteria to grow.

I love my Bodum, but for health safety reasons I would not stick wet knives in it. You know: mold, bacteria.

To prevent rusting before putting the blade away make sure it is clean and dry and you should be alright.

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

no, but it is non stick. A damp kitchen towel will do the trick, if there is something there, using a back of a spreading knife pressed on the towel and get it out. Good luck.

No, just a run it under the tap water for a few seconds then just put a few drops on it when you lay it down and start sharpening. And if it feels dry just put a few drops again as aften as you need. Definitely does not need a long soak. It works wonders!

Absolutely.Wok cooking, stir frying, or deep oil frying. Just rinse the oil off, wash it, and hang it to dry.

It would be fine. I usually hand wash mine, just be careful as it is really sharp. I use either a sponge or a dish mop, then rinse under hot water and let it air dry. I love mine, it is so easy to use, and makes a very clean cut. Hope this helps.

I use a putty knife and it is very simple. Nevertheless, the stickiert part is to clean the tool and any other thing that touches accidentlly the product. I use to clean the tool with a rag that I discard after using. But a solvent should help.

I personally don't put it in the dishwasher but I'm not sure if you wanted to, if it would be okay. I tossed the packaging also so can't refer back to that. However, my recommendation is immediately after using, run it under hot water and use a scrub brush to clean (so that the bristles get in between the blades) and let it air dry. I would't want to chance meat juice drying on the blades and not being able to properly clean it.

On the box states to hand wash only and dry immediately this is recommended for all knives especially well made ones.

Hi There,I would just rinse the blade part not get in there with a sponge. the other part has nothing sharp so you will be safe. This is the best tool since sliced bread ( pardon the pun) but really it is great for bagels, english muffins slices evenly and no worries about cutting yourself.

After washing and drying, I replace them in their holders and store in drawer, if the knives come without the holders I use a wooden cutting block

I try to rinse and sort of dry all my "nice" knives as soon as I'm finished using them. Later I'll HAND wash, rinse, and dry them. I'm working my way up to buying a carbon steel laminated Japanese knife (not stainless) and I believe this is the way to treat them if you want any satisfaction at all with these knives which can be super sharpened. Just practicing, but I think all $100+ knives are worth this extra effort.

I guess you could do that. The parts are not very big so it's pretty easy to just scrub them down in the sink. I wouldn't put the piece behind the blade in the dishwasher.

I'll measure the slot when I get home. I do dry my knives first before putting them away.

Absolutely! Wash it and roll it tight in a towel. Give it the roll good tight twist and it'll be practically dry already!

I wanted to add that washing these knives by hand and storing them immediately in its' block eliminates the chance of being severely cut or injured if one were to grab a handful of utensils at once from the dishwasher to put them away. They are that sharp and pointy.
