Katana - knife holder without magnets. Holds from 4 to 8 knives. In several designs and types of wood.
GST not charged. Orders under A$1,000 typically arrive with no GST or import charges; above that, Australian customs collects GST and any duty on delivery. Shipping (delivered DAP) calculated at checkout.
All our knife blocks are handmade to order.
If you order today, your knife block will be ready for delivery during week 39 (September 21 - 27)
KATANA is inspired by the classic Japanese racks for storing knives and samurai swords — and is developed for precisely those knives for which a magnetic knife holder is not the right solution.
For expensive and fragile knives
Hand-forged Japanese knives, thin damascus blades, knives with brittle hardening or delicate finishes: here a magnetic suspension can be too hard on the edge. On the KATANA, the knives rest completely loosely on the brass bearings — there is no pull, no click against the steel, no risk of cutting the edge when the knife is put in place.
22 degrees is the whole secret
KATANA tilts back 22 degrees. This means that gravity alone holds the knives securely in place against the back of the rack — no magnets, no clamps, no slots to collect moisture and food residue. The knives rest as they should, and lift off just as easily.
Choose quantity and height
KATANA is supplied as standard for 4, 5, 6, 7 or 8 knives, with 8 cm between each brass bearing (Standard) or 6 cm (Compact).
| Number of knives | Compact | Standard |
|---|---|---|
| 4 knives | ~35cm | ~45cm |
| 5 knives | ~40cm | ~50cm |
| 6 knives | ~45cm | ~55cm |
| 7 knives | ~50cm | ~60cm |
| 8 knives | ~55cm | ~65cm |
Compact is an obvious choice if you have limited space on your kitchen counter and don't want it dominated by a tall KATANA.
Good to know
KATANA is recommended for knives with blades between 10 and 30 cm and comes as standard for right-handed knives.
If you want a different number of blades, different dimensions or a left-handed version, I will of course be happy to make a KATANA according to your measurements — send me an email and we'll figure it out.
A Thoughtful Alternative to Mass-Produced Knife Holders
In an age of mass production, we offer something different – a handcrafted knife holder made just for you.
Each custom magnetic knife rack is made to order in our small workshop in Denmark – with great care, premium materials and direct communication with you from the very beginning.
If you're looking for something beyond ordinary, our Scandinavian-designed knife holders combine functionality, timeless style, and true craftsmanship.
Handmade in Denmark – Shipped to Australia
Our magnetic knife holders are considered among the most durable and well-crafted options on the global market.
For almost a decade, we’ve supplied premium kitchen knife racks to customers across Australia – from Sydney and Melbourne to regional towns.
Every piece is made to order in our Northern Denmark studio, where my wife Kari and I work with care, precision, and attention to every detail.
Fully Magnetic Design – Flexible Placement, Solid Hold
Place Knives Freely – No Compromise
Our holders are fully magnetic, giving you the freedom to place knives anywhere on the surface – with no slipping or clustering.
Powerful Neodymium Magnets
We use top-grade Neodymium magnets – specially produced and imported directly from our long-time supplier.
Unlike standard models that use spot magnets or weak discs, we embed continuous magnetic rows inside the wood – ensuring strong, stable hold across the full knife blade.
How Much Can It Hold?
That depends on the knife and design – but all our knife holders offer ample strength to securely hold nearly every kitchen knife on the Australian market.
For Heavier Knives
If you have especially heavy knives or those with low magnetic properties, we recommend our X-tra Strong Series – offering roughly double the holding power of our standard versions.
Scandinavian Craftsmanship in Every Detail
We treat our knife holders like fine furniture – built with purpose, precision, and pride.
From FSC-certified European oak and walnut to the final hand-sanding, every element is crafted to last – with a beautiful finish that ages gracefully.
We use eco-friendly finishing oil and mark each product discreetly with our Rune-Jakobsen signature – a seal of quality and care.
Standard and Custom Options – Made to Suit You
Our online store features a range of wall-mounted magnetic knife racks and freestanding timber knife blocks in standard sizes – but we also build custom knife holders to suit your measurements and preferences.
Minor changes to size or mounting are free of charge. If you have specific requirements, we’re happy to offer friendly, obligation-free advice.
Flexible Mounting – No Drilling Required
All racks come with concealed mounting hardware and installation accessories. Prefer to mount without screws? We can ship the rack without brackets so you can install it using construction adhesive like “No More Nails.” Simply add a note during checkout.
Risk-Free Ordering – 100% Satisfaction Guaranteed
We know that ordering a handcrafted knife rack from overseas might feel risky. That’s why we offer full returns – even on custom designs. If it’s not what you expected, we’ll take it back without hesitation.
Made to Last – In Every Sense
We don’t make throwaway products. We create timeless kitchen accessories that serve both purpose and beauty – built to elevate your kitchen for many years to come.
Browse our collection online – or contact us directly for a bespoke solution made just for you in Denmark and shipped to Australia.
What width should I choose?
The width determines how many knives your knife block can hold. All of our knife blocks are magnetic on both sides , and there are powerful magnets in several rows, so the knives have contact surfaces in several places on the blade and thus stick extra securely.
To find the right width, you can line up your knives with the desired spacing, measure the total width and divide by 2. This will give you the minimum width your new knife block should have.
Which knife blocks are the strongest?
All our knife blocks are made with powerful magnets that will easily hold all kitchen knives on the market. There is therefore no difference in magnetic strength between the different designs.
What length should I choose?
All of our knife blocks are 30 cm in length , which fits the vast majority of knife blades - including long knives such as sujihiki .
If you have knives that are longer than 30 cm, we can of course make a custom solution. We make small adjustments to standard dimensions at no extra charge.
Do you need help?
If you are in doubt about which splint to choose, you are always welcome to contact us by email at info@rune-jakobsen.dk
Our customer service is not a call center or an AI chatbot.
It's Kari or Torben.
When you write to us, you will receive a personal response from us — with in-depth knowledge of the products and a genuine interest in helping you make the right choices.
We have collected the most common questions in our FAQ and on the product pages. If you can't find the answer there, or if you want a product in a special size, you are always welcome to write or call us.
If we cannot respond immediately, you will hear from us within a few hours on all weekdays.

All measurements in our webshop are given in centimeters (cm). If you use inches, here is a quick overview:
cm → inches: multiply by 0.39
inches → cm: multiply by 2.54
Examples:
| cm | inches |
|---|---|
| 20cm | 7.9″ |
| 40cm | 15.7″ |
| 60cm | 23.6″ |
| 80cm | 31.5″ |
| inches | cm |
|---|---|
| 10″ | 25.4cm |
| 20″ | 50.8cm |
| 30″ | 76.2cm |
If you need an exact conversion, a quick Google search — e.g. "20 cm in inches" — is the easiest solution.
To keep both your knives and your knife holder in the best possible condition, always place the knives only when they are completely clean and absolutely dry. Moist blades can, over time, damage the surface and leave marks.
Wipe your magnetic knife rack or knife block regularly with a slightly damp cloth and avoid using detergents or harsh chemicals. If needed, refresh the surface with a soft cloth and a small amount of natural wood oil.
Avoid placing the product near strong heat sources or in direct sunlight, as this may dry out the wood and cause discoloration over time.
With proper care, your knife holder will retain its beautiful appearance and functionality for many years.
We only use carefully selected FSC certified furniture wood. The primary wood types are oak and walnut.
We finish all products with a food-approved oil.
PLEASE NOTE that we always try to create unique and well-crafted products with an exciting visual expression and play of colors. You should therefore take our photos as a guide and not as a guarantee of how the finished product will appear.
Remember that wood is a living material. No two pieces of wood are the same, so all product photos are indicative.
You can benefit from surfing around our website and seeing examples of products we have made in the different types of wood to get a better impression of the wood's color variations, structure and expression.
If you are in doubt about choosing a type of wood for a product, you are very welcome to contact us to discuss the options. We are happy to advise and inspire 😊
Real Products, Honest Images
For us, craftsmanship, materials and aesthetics take centre stage. Our product photos should give you an honest and inspiring impression of what you're getting – without unnecessary staging.
The vast majority of product photos in our webshop are therefore taken by us – whether it's a mill, a knife holder, a serving board or one of our textiles. The images of our wooden products always show real, handcrafted pieces, photographed before they are packed and shipped to their new owners.
To help you imagine how the products look in different homes and kitchens, we sometimes place these original photographs into AI-generated interiors or backgrounds. Only the background is artificial – the product itself is never altered or AI-generated. Every grain, edge, colour and detail you see belongs to the physical piece we made.
From time to time, we also receive photos from happy customers who kindly allow us to use them in the webshop. These images offer an honest and inspiring glimpse of how our products look in real homes and surroundings.
No artificial product renders. No misleading visual enhancements. Just real craftsmanship, photographed honestly.
Reference images when choosing a variant
We are constantly expanding our product gallery. As many of our products come in a wide range of sizes and variants, we don't yet have photos of them all. The image shown for your selection therefore primarily illustrates the chosen wood type – not necessarily the specific size or design variation.
Every piece of wood is unique
Wood is a living, natural material, and our passion is creating unique products with character. Grain patterns and colour tones will therefore naturally vary from piece to piece. Please consider our images as guiding inspiration and an indication of the quality we deliver.
In doubt? We're happy to help.
Questions about design, size, wood type or special requests? Don't hesitate to contact us at info@rune-jakobsen.dk so we can guide you to the right choice before you order.
Here you will find a comprehensive overview of all terms and conditions for your purchase from Rune-Jakobsen Design. We have done everything to make everything as clear and understandable as possible. You are welcome to contact us if you have any questions.

🛃 Customs, VAT and taxes
We ship all items from our workshop and warehouse in Denmark. Below you can see what this means for you — find your country and read exactly what applies.
🇬🇧 Customers from the UK

Should this happen, please contact us immediately atrline underline-offset-2 decoration-1 decoration-current/40 hover:decoration-current focus:decoration-current">info@rune-jakobsen.dk , so that we can help you further.

🇦🇺 Customers from Australia
We ship DAP (Delivered At Place) to Australia and GST is not charged at checkout. Whether your order will be subject to tax upon arrival depends on one simple threshold:
Orders under AUD 1,000: No duty, no GST, no fees. Your order is delivered directly to your door at no additional cost — the price at checkout plus shipping is all that matters.
Orders over AUD 1,000: Australian authorities charge import duties and GST, which the carrier will settle with you before delivery. Here's how it's calculated:
- Customs duty: approximately 5% of the price of the goods (the rate depends on the type of goods).
- GST: 10% of goods + freight + customs duty.
- Processing fee: a fixed fee for customs clearance from authorities and the shipping company, typically AUD 100–200 total.
Calculation example: You order goods for AUD 1,600 with AUD 150 in shipping.
- Duty: 5% of 1,600 = AUD 80
- GST: 10% of (1,600 + 150 + 80) = AUD 183
- Processing fee: approx. AUD 100–200
- Total import costs: approximately AUD 360–460 — on top of what you paid at checkout.
Good to know: The limit applies per shipment. So if your order is just over AUD 1,000, it may be best to either keep the order below the limit or add a little more to your cart so that the import costs are spread over a larger purchase — the processing fee is the same whether the order is AUD 1,100 or AUD 3,000.
If you are in doubt about what this means for your particular order, please write to us at info@rune-jakobsen.dk before ordering.

In most cases, the simplest solution is for you to pay the amount collected to the shipping company, after which we will immediately refund you the full amount.
🌍 Customers from other countries
For other countries outside the EU, orders are shipped DAP (Delivered At Place). This means that any import duties, local VAT and handling fees are collected by the shipping company when the goods arrive in your country.
These fees are set by your local authorities and are beyond our control. Many countries have a threshold below which orders are exempt - if in doubt, please check with your local customs authorities or write to us before ordering.
Choose options
GST not charged. Orders under A$1,000 typically arrive with no GST or import charges; above that, Australian customs collects GST and any duty on delivery. Shipping (delivered DAP) calculated at checkout.

It is the know-how that characterizes the knife holders from Rune-Jakobsen Design.
