Defined - wide knife magnet in widths from 10 - 28 cm and lengths from 40 - 80 cm. For vertical or horizontal mounting.

A conscious alternative to mass production

In a market dominated by standardized knife rails and knife blocks, we choose a different approach.

Every single knife holder is made to order in our small specialized cabinetmaking workshop in Denmark – with great care, respect for the materials 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, durability and aesthetics.

Handmade in Denmark – chosen by customers worldwide

In soon For 10 years we have been custom-making knife rails and knife blocks for private customers all over the world.

All products are produced individually in our workshop in northernmost Denmark, where we - Kari and Torben - are responsible for the entire process from design and material selection to the finished finish.

This means:

• No mass production

• No intermediaries

• Full responsibility for quality and results

Fully magnetic design – free placement and secure hold

The knives can be positioned freely – without compromise

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.

Powerful magnets of the highest quality

We only use very powerful Neodymium magnets of the highest quality – custom-made and imported directly from our trusted manufacturer.

Where many knife holder 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.

Do they hold heavy knives?

All of our knife rails are designed to securely hold the vast majority of kitchen knives on the market.

In the rare cases where a knife is unusually heavy or has low magnetic content, we offer our X-tra Strong series , which has approximately double the magnetic attraction compared to the standard models.

We are happy to advise you so that you get the right solution from the start.

Accomplished craftsmanship and aesthetics

We consider our knife holders to be functional 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 that provides 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.

Standard or customized – at no extra cost

In the webshop you will find a selection of proven standard designs.
But we also offer custom-made solutions:

• Special measures

• Fitting adjustments

• Special suspension solutions

Minor adjustments are carried out at no additional cost, and we are happy to provide advice without obligation.

Flexible suspension

All knife rails are supplied with concealed fittings and necessary mounting hardware. If you would rather mount without screws – for example on a tiled wall – we can produce the rail without a suspension, so it can be easily attached with mounting adhesive. like "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 product without seeing it physically takes trust.

That's why we offer full returns - even on custom-made knife holders.
If the product does not meet your expectations, we will of course take it back.

The small difference that makes a big difference

We don't believe in cheap solutions.
We believe in thoughtful design, solid craftsmanship and materials chosen to last.

That's why we create knife holders that not only solve a practical task, but also contribute aesthetically to your kitchen and are designed to accompany you for many years to come.

See our selection online – or contact us directly if you want something special.

If you have any questions or are dreaming of a custom-made knife holder, you are always welcome to contact us by email info@rune-jakobsen.dk

Small adjustments to our standard sizes are, of course, made at no extra cost.

Which length should I choose?

The length determines how many knives your magnetic rack can hold. A simple method is to place your knives in a row with the spacing you prefer. Then measure the total width — this will give you the minimum length your new knife rack should have.

Which racks are the strongest?

We design our racks so that a standard 4.5 cm model has more than enough strength for the vast majority of kitchen knives. The width is primarily a design choice, as the magnetic strength is identical across all widths within the same series.

• Racks between 4.5–8.5 cm have the same magnetic strength.
• Racks between 10–28 cm offer 50% stronger magnetic power.
• Our X-tra Strong models provide 100% stronger magnetic power than the standard versions.

If you have very large or heavy knives, we recommend choosing a wider or X-tra Strong model. This provides a larger magnetic contact surface and ensures that your knives stay even more securely in place.

If you’re unsure which rack to choose, you’re always welcome to contact me: torben@rune-jakobsen.dk

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.

All knife rails come with two hidden keyhole brackets on the back.

We use different types of keyhole fittings depending on the design, but the principle is the same.

2 screws are drilled into the wall to which the rail is attached. Screws + raw plugs are included when ordering.

If you want to mount without screws, you can use a mounting adhesive or strong double-sided tape. We usually recommend 'No More Nails' from Pattex, but any mounting adhesive will work as long as your nails are not too heavy and the wall is 100% flat.

Alternatively, we can place the keyhole brackets at a distance that matches two joints in a tiled wall. This simply requires that we be informed of the exact distance between two joints when ordering.

When ordering, please leave a note in the shopping cart so that I will make the back completely smooth without oil treatment so that the tape/adhesive sticks better.

(Please note that all warranties will be void if the knife rail is mounted without the use of mounting brackets.)

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 Pictures

For us, craftsmanship, materials and aesthetics are the focus. Our product images should give you an honest and inspiring impression of what you get – without unnecessary staging.

The vast majority of product photos in our webshop are therefore taken by ourselves – whether it is a grinder, a knife holder, a serving board or one of our exclusive textiles.

The images of our wooden products always show real products that we have handmade for a customer and photographed before they were delivered.

We also occasionally receive photos from satisfied customers who kindly allow us to use them in the webshop. These photos provide an honest and inspiring insight into how our products look in real homes and environments.

A Guide to Variants

We are constantly expanding our product gallery. As many of our products come in a multitude of sizes and variations, we do not yet have photos of every single one. The image displayed when you make your selection primarily illustrates the chosen type of wood – not necessarily the specific size or design variation.

Every Piece of Wood is Unique

Wood is a living, natural material, and our passion is to create unique products with character. The grain and play of colours will therefore naturally vary from one product to the next. Please consider our photos as a source of inspiration and an indication of the high quality we deliver.

Any questions? We're happy to help.

Do you have questions about a design, size, type of wood, or do you have special requests? Please don't hesitate to contact us at info@rune-jakobsen.dk, and we will guide you to the right choice before you order.
