I use a magnetic strip and love that it keeps the bench clear. I don't like knife blocks very much as they are hard to keep clean. I use quite a few knives frequently and I don't find they get dusty at all – and the ones I use less frequently, like the fish filleting knife, I just wipe with a damp cloth before using but, as I usually touch it up with the sharpener before tackling a fish, I would wipe it after sharpening anyway. I have mine near the stove but in a reasonably discreet spot so I don't feel that they are out on display.

I've had different approaches in different houses. I designed front of one house so no-one could enter and had Monitored alarm. Another I had really good doors and a crim proof level film put on all windows. I didn't believe what I was told about the strength so I threw bricks and bashed one of the windows to test the film. I couldn't break the window but I did make a bit of a mess of it and had to get guys back to replace that one. I felt really secure after that. Sadly as I was bashing away I could hear passers by on the other side of the wall totally ignoring all the racket. No-one called out or checked what was happening. Gave birth to a security company owner (that was handy) so I had lots of tricky gadgets at one stage. Moved to a gated community with lots of security and a concierge. About to move to another gated community so I'll think about it when I get there.
