The Monolith – double-sided magnetic knife block with brass details in multiple finishes

Handmade magnetic knife holders in uncompromising quality – function meets aesthetics

A deliberate alternative to mass production

In a market dominated by mass-produced magnetic knife holders and knife blocks, we take a different path.

Every magnetic knife holder and knife block is made to order in our small, specialised joinery in Denmark – with great care, respect for the materials, and in close dialogue with you.

Why customers choose our magnetic knife holders

• Handmade to order in Denmark
• Fully magnetic design with free placement of the knives
• Strong neodymium magnets made to our specification
• FSC-certified oak or walnut
• Custom sizes and adjustments at no extra charge
• Gentle storage that protects your knives
• Easy and hygienic to clean
• 100% satisfaction or your money back

With us you will find only handmade magnetic knife holders and knife blocks, built around function, durability and aesthetics – made for daily use and many years of pleasure.

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 handle the design and the entire making process.

That means:

• No mass production
• No middlemen
• Direct contact with the people who make the product
• Full responsibility for the result and the finish

The finish comes from a long series of manual processes that bring out the natural character of the wood and leave a silk-smooth, hard-wearing surface.

Fully magnetic design – free placement and a secure hold

Our magnetic knife holders and knife blocks differ markedly from conventional solutions: they are fully magnetic.

They are built with continuous rows of strong neodymium magnets along the full length of the magnetic knife holder and across the 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 embedded invisibly in the wood and distributed across several layers, so each blade makes contact with more than one magnet at a time. The result is a stable, secure hold where the knives do not slide, twist or pull towards each other.

Gentle storage for your knives

A good magnetic knife holder is not only about storage – it also protects your knives.

When knives hang freely on a magnetic knife holder, you avoid the blade-to-blade contact that so often happens in drawers or in closed knife blocks. That reduces the risk of small chips along the edge and helps the knives stay sharp for longer.

At the same time the knives are always visible and within reach, which makes work in the kitchen both faster and clearer.

More hygienic than closed knife blocks

Closed 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 and ventilated, which makes cleaning simple and makes it easier to keep both knives and wood dry and clean.

It is a solution favoured by chefs and keen home cooks alike.

Strong magnets developed for the purpose

We use only strong neodymium magnets, made to our specification and imported directly from the manufacturer.

Will they hold heavy knives?

All our magnetic knife holders are built 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 X-tra Strong series, with roughly double the magnetic pull of the standard models.

We are happy to advise, so you end up with the solution that suits your knives best.

Natural materials and a considered finish

We think of 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 worked, sanded and finished with great precision, so the surface feels harmonious, is pleasant to the touch and stands up to daily use.

Finally we apply an environmentally friendly furniture oil that protects the wood and brings out its natural structure. Every product is discreetly stamped with our signature – Rune-Jakobsen – as a record of origin and responsible production.

Standard or bespoke – at no extra charge

In the shop you will find a range of proven standard designs.

We also make bespoke solutions:

• Custom dimensions
• Adapted fittings
• Special mounting solutions

Smaller adjustments are made at no extra charge, and we are happy to advise on the best solution for your kitchen.

Flexible mounting

All magnetic knife holders come with concealed fittings and the mounting hardware you need.

If you want to mount without screws – on tiles, for instance – we can make the magnetic knife holder without fittings, so it can be put up with construction adhesive such as No More Nails.

Just write your wishes in the comment field when you order.

100% satisfaction or your money back

We know it takes trust to order a handmade product without holding it first.

That is why we offer full right of return – including on bespoke 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 you.

The small difference that makes the big difference

The best products are often the ones you barely notice day to day – 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 as you work, and bring a warm, natural note to the kitchen.

A simple solution, carried out with care.

What width should I choose?

The width decides how many knives your knife block can take. All our knife blocks are magnetic on both sides, with strong magnets in several rows, so the blade makes contact in more than one place and holds especially securely.

To find the right width, lay your knives out with the spacing you want, measure the total width and divide by 2. That gives you the minimum width your new knife block needs.

Which knife blocks are the strongest?

All our knife blocks are built with strong magnets that comfortably hold any kitchen knife on the market. There is no difference in magnet strength between the different designs.

What length should I choose?

All our knife blocks are 30 cm long, which suits the vast majority of blades – including long knives such as the sujihiki.

If your knives are longer than 30 cm, we can of course make a custom solution. Small adjustments to our standard dimensions are made at no extra charge.

To keep both your knives and your magnetic knife holder or knife block in the best condition, always put the knives back only when they are completely clean and completely dry. Damp knives can damage the surface over time and leave marks.

Wipe your magnetic knife holder or knife block regularly with a slightly damp cloth, and avoid detergents and harsh chemicals. If needed, the surface can be refreshed with a little natural wood oil on a soft cloth.

Avoid placing the product close to strong heat sources or in direct sunlight, as this can dry out the wood and change its colour over time.

With proper care, your magnetic knife holder or knife block will keep its looks and its function 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

With us, craftsmanship, materials and aesthetics are at the heart of everything we do. Our product images are designed to 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 grinder, a magnetic knife holder, a serving board or one of our textiles. The images of our wooden products always show genuine, handmade products that we photograph before they are packed and sent to their new owners.

To give you a better idea of ​​how the products will look in different homes and kitchens, we sometimes insert these original photos into AI-generated rooms or backgrounds. Only the background is artificial – the product itself is never altered or AI-generated. Every grain, edge, color, and detail you see belongs to the physical product we created.

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

No artificial product renderings. No misleading visual enhancements. Just real craftsmanship, photographed honestly.

Indicative images when choosing a variant

We are constantly expanding our product gallery. As many of our products come in a variety of sizes and variations, we do not yet have images of all of them. The image shown when you select a product primarily illustrates the selected 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 to create unique products with character. The grain patterns and color play will therefore naturally vary from product to product. Please consider our images as guiding inspiration and an indication of the quality we deliver.

If you have any questions, we're happy to help.

Do you have any questions about design, size, wood type or special requests? Do not hesitate to contact us at info@rune-jakobsen.dk so that 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.

🇦🇺 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:

1. Customs duty: approximately 5% of the price of the goods (the rate depends on the type of goods).
2. GST: 10% of goods + freight + customs duty.
3. 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.

🇨🇦 Customers from Canada

We ship DAP (Delivered At Place) to Canada. Canadian sales tax (GST/HST) and any handling fee will be charged. by the shipping company upon import.

All of our products — with the exception of the Japan collection — are of EU origin and can therefore be imported duty-free under the EU-Canada Free Trade Agreement (CETA). Products from our Japan collection may be subject to customs duties at the regular Canadian rates.

🌍 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.
