Handmade in Denmark – chosen by customers worldwide
For more than 10 years we have designed and made magnetic knife holders and knife blocks for customers all over the world.
Through thousands of magnetic knife holders and knife blocks delivered to customers in Denmark, Europe, the USA and Australia, we have built a deep understanding of function, materials and individual needs.
Every product is made individually to order in our workshop in the far north of Denmark, where we – Kari and Torben – personally take care of the design and the entire making process.
This means:
- No mass production
- No middlemen
- Direct contact with the people who make your product
- Full responsibility for the result and the finish
The finish comes from a long series of manual steps that bring out the natural character of the wood and give a silky-smooth, long-lasting surface.
Fully magnetic design – free placement and a secure hold
Our magnetic knife holders and knife blocks differ markedly from traditional solutions by being fully magnetic.
They are built with continuous rows of powerful neodymium magnets along the full length of the knife holder and across the full width of the knife block. That means you can use every centimetre – a 40 cm magnetic knife holder typically takes 6–8 kitchen knives.
The magnets are invisibly embedded in the wood and arranged in several layers, so each blade is in contact with several magnets at once. The result is a stable, secure hold where the knives do not slip, twist or pull towards each other.
Gentle storage for your knives
A good magnetic knife holder is not just about storage – it also protects your knives.
When your knives hang freely on a magnetic knife holder, you avoid the blade-on-blade contact that often happens in drawers or enclosed knife blocks. This reduces the risk of small nicks on the edge and helps your knives stay sharp for longer.
At the same time, your knives are always visible and within easy reach, making work in the kitchen more efficient and better organised.
More hygienic than enclosed knife blocks
Enclosed knife blocks can be difficult to clean, and moisture or food residue can build up in the slots over time.
On a magnetic knife holder the knives hang freely with air all around them, which makes cleaning simple and helps keep both knives and wood dry and clean.
It is a solution preferred by chefs and food lovers alike.
Powerful magnets developed for the purpose
We use only powerful neodymium magnets, made to our specifications and imported directly from the manufacturer.
Will it hold heavy knives?
All our magnetic knife holders are designed to hold the vast majority of kitchen knives securely.
In the few cases where a knife is unusually heavy or has a low magnetic content, we offer our Ekstra series, with roughly twice the magnetic holding power of the standard models.
We are happy to advise you so you get the right solution for your knives.
Natural materials and a thorough finish
We see our magnetic knife holders and knife blocks as functional furniture – and that shapes the whole process.
Each model is made from carefully selected FSC-certified oak or walnut. The wood is machined, sanded and finished with great precision, so the surface looks harmonious, feels pleasant to the touch and stands up to daily use.
Finally, an eco-friendly furniture oil is applied to protect the wood and bring out its natural grain. Each product is discreetly stamped with our signature – Rune-Jakobsen – as a mark of origin and responsible production.
Standard or made to measure – at no extra cost
In our online shop you will find a range of tried-and-tested standard designs.
We also make custom solutions:
- Custom sizes
- Adapted mounting brackets
- Special hanging solutions
Minor adjustments are made at no extra cost, and we are happy to advise you on the right solution for your kitchen.
Flexible mounting
All magnetic knife holders come with concealed brackets and the necessary fixings.
If you would rather mount it without screws – on tiles, for example – we can make your knife holder without brackets so it can be fixed with a mounting adhesive such as No More Nails.

100% satisfaction or your money back
We know it takes trust to order a handmade product without holding it in your hands first.
That is why we offer a full right of return – also on custom-made magnetic knife holders and knife blocks. If the product does not live up to your expectations, we will of course take it back and refund your money.
The small difference that makes the big difference
The best products are often the ones you hardly notice in everyday life – because they simply work.
Our magnetic knife holders and knife blocks are made with that in mind. They give your knives a safe and elegant place, keep them within easy reach in daily use and add a warm, natural touch to your kitchen.
A simple solution, made with care.
