How does Alton want us to keep our good knives if we want to keep them a long time?
I've heard a magnetic strip on the wall. I'd heard before that jumbling knoves together in a drawer will turn your knives to crap, never heard that before about the wooden block. Fuck that noise, I got a marble backsplash.

Sweet! We already have one of those.
Sean, I keep my good knives on a magnetic strip on the wall - that way the blades aren't touching anything and dulling. [link]
Honing stones are fun! And provide a great opportunity to practice your maniacal laugh. I use something like this: [link]
Hey peeps. A few days ago I wrote about my problems getting financing to move. A few people suggested what to do, and I did as suggested - and I've been given the money for a deposit now! Just need to find a shiny flat in Liverpool now. Looking at ones in the city center near my work, as I'm a big metrosexual looser.
As bon notes, the magnetic strip is a good option.
Sean, Tom and I go a decidedly low-tech way of flattening paper towel rolls and sliding a chef's knife in there. (We don't have any good smaller knives.) For our other, we were pleased as punch to get it back from getting it sharpened with a little cardboard sleeve. Sadly, we've not gotten that again. So, cardboard casing, laid in drawer.
We have a honing steel, that looks like a little sword, and we (ideally) before every use, slide each side of the knife at about a 45% angle an equal number of times just to keep the blade in line. Do we do this every time? No, but we should. But we don't. We send them to be sharpened a couple times a year, usually mom and pop hardware stores can do that.
also, we covet a magnetic strip solution to our knife storage. Until then, stupid cardboard sleeves.
Let loose the metrosexuals of war!
Er, you did mean something like that, Kevin, yes?
Robert Blake.
That's right, I'm wrong.
The character was Tony Baretta. And to complicate things even more, the related series Toma starred Tony Musante.

Right, because as Alton has said on more than one show, never buy any appliance that claims to sharpen knives, or attempt it yourself unless you've been trained. The former never work and the latter could be dangerous to your knives, your health or most likely both.
