Here is how we set up our knife drawer

http://www.facebook.com/album.php?ai...1&l=82438c45cb

Two flat knife blocks next to each other. Most of the knives with the
black handles are Henckles and the most used ones are on the right. (We
bought the knife blocks at a kitchen specialty store, but they aren't
hard to find.)

The second picture shows the knives laid out on the counter:

Most of the Henckels knives are over 20 years old and the second from
the right is over 30 years old. The others are knives we picked up
along the way and some have sentimental value but aren't used much.

As you can tell, we aren't big into owning a lot of knives. The ones we
have are good quality and more than adequate for the kind of cooking we do.
