I've got an empty one next to my microwave. I can't handle low technology. And besides, it's a battle of wills and I'm in too deep to let it go now.

Aha !! got it ... just nick all the knives and put them in your very own personal knife roll ... you know, those canvas roll-up things that you can buy from cheffie shops.

Arbitration and Conciliation negotiations can then be initiated for the return of the hostaged knives.

Meantime, you can easily transport them to and from the kitchen as and when YOU require to use them.

That is both passive aggressive and non-confrontational at the same time. Perfect.
