Leather Block – Elegant knife block with leather protection
Leather Block is an elegant and fully magnetic knife block, covered on the front with exclusive Italian "Tuscan Vacchetta" leather. The soft, high-quality leather protects your knife blades gently and effectively.
The leather provides a discreet suction effect that keeps the knives securely in place while ensuring optimal protection against wear and scratches - both functionally and visually a luxurious solution for your kitchen.
The raw leather edge is finished by sanding it completely flush with the wooden edge of the block.
About the leather: Tuscan Vacchetta leather is a high-quality, vegetable-tanned leather type, originally from Tuscany, Italy.
We only use certified leather from a renowned Italian manufacturer, which guarantees high quality and authenticity.
It is made from untreated cowhides and tanned with natural extracts from plants such as chestnut and mimosa. The leather is known for its rich, smooth surface, warm color tones and ability to develop a beautiful patina over time. It is often used in luxury goods such as bags, belts and leather goods, where both durability and aesthetics are important.
Thickness: 1.3 - 1.5 mm
In a time when mass production dominates the market for knife rails and knife blocks, we are deliberately going in a different direction.
Each individual product is made to order in our small specialized furniture workshop - with great care, respect for the material and in close dialogue with you as the customer.
With us you will find exclusively exclusive, handmade knife holders, created with a focus on both functionality and aesthetics.
Our knife holders are considered to be among the strongest and best-crafted on the market .
For almost 10 years we have been custom manufacturing and delivering handmade knife rails and knife blocks to private customers all over the world. Each and every knife holder is produced to order in our small cabinetmaking workshop, beautifully located in the northernmost part of Denmark.
Here we work with great care, precision and dedication – always with your individual wishes and needs at the center.
Fully magnetic design – free placement, strong hold
Our knife holders differ significantly from traditional solutions in that they are fully magnetic . This means that you can place your knives freely over the entire surface – without restrictions and without the risk of them slipping or being attracted to each other.
We only use powerful N52 Neodymium magnets of the highest quality – custom-made and imported directly from our trusted manufacturer.
Where many manufacturers settle for point magnetism and cheap disc magnets, we ensure multiple unbroken rows of powerful magnets, elegantly and invisibly encapsulated in the wood and distributed so that each knife achieves multiple contact points on the knife blade.
Accomplished craftsmanship and aesthetics
We consider our knife holders to be functional pieces of furniture – and this is reflected in the entire manufacturing process. Every detail counts: From the carefully selected FSC-certified oak or walnut to the meticulous manufacturing and final hand sanding, which results in a smooth, harmonious surface and a finish that ages gracefully.
Finally, an environmentally friendly furniture oil is applied, and each product is discreetly stamped with our signature – Rune-Jakobsen – as a seal of quality for good Danish craftsmanship and responsible production.
Customized to your wishes – standard and custom designs
Our webshop contains a selection of standard designs in fixed formats – both wall-mounted knife rails and free-standing knife blocks. But we also offer tailor-made solutions according to your measurements and preferences. Minor adjustments in measurements or fittings are accommodated at no additional cost, and we are happy to advise without obligation if you have special wishes for suspension, choice of materials or design.
Flexible suspension
All knife rails are supplied with concealed fittings and the necessary mounting hardware. If you would rather mount without screws – for example on a tiled wall – we can produce the rail without a hanger, so it can be easily attached with mounting adhesive such as "No More Nails". Simply write your wishes in the comments field when ordering.
100% satisfaction or your money back
We know that ordering a handmade, unique product without having seen it physically can create uncertainty. That's why we offer a full return policy – even on custom-made designs. If the result doesn't meet your expectations, we will of course take it back.
The small difference that makes a big difference
We don't create disposable products – we create durable, beautiful solutions with soul and character. Our goal is to deliver knife holders that not only solve a practical task, but also contribute aesthetically to your kitchen and last for many years to come.
See our selection online – or contact us directly if you want something special.

All measurements in our webshop are given in centimeters (cm).
If you use inches (inches), you can easily convert with these formulas:
* 1 cm = 0.39 inch**
* 1 inch = 2.54 cm**
**Examples of conversion from cm to inches:**
* 20 cm ≈ 7.87 inch
* 40 cm ≈ 15.75 inch
* 60 cm ≈ 23.62 inch
* 80 cm ≈ 31.50 inch
**Examples of conversion from inches to cm:**
* 10 inch = 25.4 cm
* 20 inch = 50.8 cm
* 30 inch = 76.2 cm
We recommend using an online converter for accurate conversion.
We only use carefully curated FSC certified furniture wood. The primary woods are oak, smoked oak and walnut. In addition, we offer a number of special types of wood that are sold in conjunction with special orders, e.g. Teak, ash, chestnut, golden rain, cherry, wengé, zebrano, beech, etc.
We finish all products with a high-quality wood oil, but if you would prefer e.g. an oil with a white pigment, we can of course do that too - the desired final treatment can be mentioned under the remarks of the ordering.
If you do not find what you are looking for on this page, or if you have questions, we can be contacted by phone +45 4243 4393 or mail.
NOTE that we are always trying to create unique and elaborate products with an exciting visual expression and colour profile. You should therefore take our product photos with a grain of salt and not as a guarantee of how the finished product looks.
Remember, wood is a living material. There are no two pieces of wood that are identical, so all product photos are only indicative.
You can do a little surfing on our website and see examples of products we have made in the different woods to get a better impression of the colour variations of the woods, structure and expression.
If you are in any doubt about choosing a type of wood for a product, you are welcome to contact us for a chat about the possibilities. We gladly counsel and seek to inspire 😊
In general
All product photos are real photos of the specific products. However, some photos have added interiors and surroundings created using artificial intelligence to create atmosphere and put the product into context.
Regarding Woodworks
We aim to continuously expand the catalog so that sizes and designs are best illustrated in the webshop.
There are not photos of all variants and sizes, so the photo that appears when choosing a variant in the webshop mainly reflects only the type of wood - not necessarily size or other variations in the design.
NOTE that we always try to create unique wooden products with an exciting visual expression. You must therefore take our product photos as a guide and not as a guarantee of how the finished product appears in terms of year drawings and color play.
Any questions?
If you have questions about the choice of design, sizes, colors or type of wood - or if you have special wishes, you are always very welcome to contact us at info@rune-jakobsen.dk and get your questions clarified before you order.
