Really you need at least 5 different knives for cooking if you are after something more advaced than omelet.
As for that wooden blocks for knives - IDK, may be you are right, it become popular after hollywood movies. Really not very practical thing since you have to put only clean knives to it, so it is just a long-term storage, not some really useful thing to have all knives at hand during cooking. And storing knives in a drawer a way better since you don't have to guess knives by hand not seend blades.
:) Just have a separate section of drawer for each knife and they will be pretty sharp and comfortable to pick. You know, that plastic inserts for drawers with multiple sections, right in your hardware store nearby. Better look for inserts for garage tools, not for kitchenware.
As for "dangerous" - I'm lost a little. Since when it become dangerous? People store knives in drawers for millenia and while that really dull them if you store them in a pile, how it could be "dangerous"? The worst thing that could happen is you could slightly prick yourself and that's all - how this is "dangerous", again? Safety trolling even here? Jesus, no, not that insanity....

If you worked in a kitchen, you’d get an ass chewing for putting knives in drawers. Dangerous and dulls the edges.
