We must organize our knives for easy access and safety. But did you know, you can also organize them according to your organizing style? You can find out what your organizing style is here.

Before organizing your knives, you must purge the ones you do not use. I personally only need a paring knife, santoku knife, chef’s knife, and bread knife. I find that most people are fine having just the same. It all depends on how in depth you go into food prep in which case you may need a boning knife, filet knife, cleaver, etc. Some find that they also need a set of steak knives as well.

In my freebie library here, I include guides which help walk you through the organizing process and help you decide what to purge and keep. I also include my declutter and organizing challenge calendars and guides to help direct you through each area of your home. These guides ensure you get through every nook and cranny and finally get to the other side of clutter … an organized and functional space!

In this post, we focus on how to organize knives. Below, I share ideas on how to organize your knives in different areas of your kitchen.
