You want it darker? – angled knife block in black-stained oak
You want it darker? is an angled knife block in black-stained solid oak. The elegant, fully magnetic knife block stores and displays your knives at an angle of 22.5 degrees, and the black stain subtly brings out the grain of the wood. A magnetic knife block in solid wood, handmade in Denmark. The knife block comes without knives.
Features:
You can also choose You want it darker? as double-sided magnetic, so it holds knives on both the front and the back. That lets you keep your finest or most-used knives on the front and tuck the rest away on the back.
The magnets are invisibly encapsulated in the wood and arranged in several rows, so every blade has multiple contact points and a firm hold. Your knives won't turn or be pulled towards each other.
Sizes:
You want it darker? is made in widths of 30, 40, 50 and 60 cm. Height 25 cm, thickness 2 cm. Choose between single-sided and double-sided magnetic.
Made in black-stained oak.
Quality:
All our knife blocks are made by hand in our own workshop in Denmark. Each knife block goes through a long series of manual processes, is stained by hand with a brush and finally oiled with a furniture oil that gives a silky-smooth, long-lasting finish.
Unlike industrially spray-lacquered products, our black knife blocks are stained by hand with a brush – a time-consuming job that gives the surface its lively, authentic look. The faint brush marks bear witness to the craftsmanship behind it and make every knife block unique. The black stain subtly brings out the grain of the wood.
Custom size or a different design?
If you would like a knife block in a custom size, or fancy one of our other designs – for example leather or linoleum – feel free to contact us at info@rune-jakobsen.dk. Minor deviations from the standard sizes are made at no extra charge.
Which width should I choose?
The width determines how many knives your knife block can hold. All our knife blocks are magnetic on both sides, and the magnets sit in several rows, so the blade makes contact in several places and holds extra securely.
Lay your knives in a row with the spacing you want, measure the total width and divide by 2. That is 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 hold every kitchen knife on the market. There is no difference in magnetic strength between the designs.
Height and space required
All knife blocks are approx. 30 cm high and suit blades up to 30 cm – including long knives such as a sujihiki. The footprint on the counter is the width of the block × 14 cm.
If you have knives with blades longer than 30 cm, we will make a custom solution. Small deviations from the standard sizes are made at no extra charge.
Sizes in cm and inches
All sizes in the shop are given in centimetres. cm → inches: multiply by 0.39 · inches → cm: multiply by 2.54.
| cm | inches |
|---|---|
| 14 cm | 5.5″ |
| 15 cm | 5.9″ |
| 25 cm | 9.8″ |
| 30 cm | 11.8″ |
Knife blades: 8″ = 20.3 cm · 10″ = 25.4 cm · 12″ = 30.5 cm. For an exact conversion, a quick Google search – e.g. "20 cm in inches" – is the easiest way.

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.

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.

CREATING THE OPTIMAL MAGNETIC KNIFE HOLDER IS A MATTER OF KNOW-HOW AND AESTHETICS!
It takes knowledge and experience to choose the right type of magnet and set it invisibly into the wood, so the full magnetic force runs the whole length or width — and the blade holds just firmly enough that the knife lifts off the block or the magnetic knife holder without unnecessary force.
That is the know-how behind the magnetic knife holders from Rune-Jakobsen Design.
