I have never heard that wood has antibacterial properties. Or plastic.

Plastic does not, wood does. Check the link to the research in the

The point that was perhaps not acutely made is that if knives are ever
put away

chances of bacterial
formation increase as does likelihood of corrosion in certain blade
steel.

People that put away wet and dirty knives should not cook...or
procreate.
