Leather Protected Vertical – magnetic knife holder for vertical mounting with leather front

Leather Protected Vertical is designed for those who want their knives hanging horizontally on a vertically mounted magnetic knife holder – with a bold leather look. A magnetic knife strip in solid wood, handmade in Denmark.

Leather Protected Vertical is a 15 cm wide magnetic knife holder, magnetic along its entire length and faced with Italian Tuscan Vacchetta leather. The bold leather front protects your blades gently and effectively.

Features:
Vertical mounting places special demands on the magnetisation. The knife holder is therefore built with invisibly encapsulated magnets in several parallel rows along the entire length. This gives multiple contact points on every blade and an evenly distributed magnetic force that holds the knife steady in a horizontal position – without sliding, rotating or being pulled towards the neighbouring blade.

The raw leather edge is sanded flush with the knife holder's narrow, visible wooden edge, and the bevelled rear edges create a beautiful shadow line against the wall.

Please note: Not all knives suit a vertical knife holder. Blades with a low proportion of magnetic alloy, very narrow blades or heavy handles can be difficult to hold in a horizontal position – regardless of the knife holder's magnetic strength. If in doubt about your knives, feel free to ask before ordering.

Leather Protected Vertical comes with concealed brackets for vertical mounting; screws and wall plugs are included.

Sizes:
Leather Protected Vertical is made in lengths of 40, 50 or 60 cm. Width 15 cm, depth 2.5 cm. Leather colour: black, brown or light brown. Available in solid oak, smoked oak or walnut.

Quality:
All our magnetic knife holders are made by hand in our own workshop in Denmark. Each knife holder goes through a long series of manual processes and is finally oiled with a furniture oil that brings out the natural character of the wood and gives a silky-smooth, long-lasting finish.

About the leather: Tuscan Vacchetta is a high-quality, vegetable-tanned leather originating from Tuscany, Italy. It is made from untreated cowhides and tanned with natural extracts from plants such as chestnut and mimosa. The leather is known for its full, smooth surface, warm tones and ability to develop a beautiful patina over time, and it is often used for bags, belts and other leather goods where both durability and looks matter. We use only certified leather from a recognised Italian producer that guarantees quality and authenticity. Leather thickness: 1.3–1.5 mm.

Custom size or a different design?

How to Choose the Right Magnetic Knife Holder

Which length should I choose?

The length determines how many knives your magnetic knife holder can hold. Lay your knives in a row with the spacing you want and measure the total width – that is the minimum length your new magnetic knife holder should have.

Which magnetic knife holders are the strongest?

A standard model 4.5 cm wide has more than enough power for the vast majority of kitchen knives. Width is therefore mainly a question of design – the magnetic strength is the same across widths within the same series.

Magnetic knife holders 4.5–8.5 cm wide have the same magnetic strength.
Magnetic knife holders 10–28 cm wide have approx. 50% stronger magnets.
All Extra Strong designs have 100% stronger magnets than the standard models.

If you have very large or heavy knives, we recommend a wide or Extra Strong model. The larger magnetic contact surface keeps the knives extra stable.

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
20 cm	7.9″
30 cm	11.8″
40 cm	15.7″
50 cm	19.7″
60 cm	23.6″
80 cm	31.5″

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.

Mounting Magnetic Knife Holders With or Without Screws

All magnetic knife holders come with two hidden keyhole fittings on the back. We use different types of fittings depending on the design, but the principle is the same.

Two screws go into the wall, and the magnetic knife holder hangs on them. Screws and wall plugs are included with your order.

If you would rather mount it without screws, you can use construction adhesive or strong double-sided tape. We usually recommend No More Nails from Pattex, but any construction adhesive will work as long as your knives are not too heavy and the wall is perfectly flat. When ordering, please leave a note in the cart so we can leave the back completely smooth and unoiled – your adhesive or tape will grip far better.

Alternatively, we can position the fittings to match two grout lines in a tiled wall. All we need is the exact distance between the two joints when you order.

Magnetic mounting

If you prefer a solution with no screws and no adhesive at all, we offer Knifeboard Magnetic — a magnetic knife holder with a magnetic back, designed to mount straight onto a fridge, extractor hood or any other magnetic surface. It goes up and comes down without tools and without leaving a mark.

If you would like magnetic mounting on one of our other designs, we can make it as a bespoke solution. Write to Kari at info@rune-jakobsen.dk and we will find the right solution for you.

(Please note that all warranties are void if the magnetic knife holder is mounted without using the mounting fittings.)

About Our Wood Species

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 😊

Oak

- is a classic and well-known type of wood. The color of the inner part of the trunk (heartwood) ranges from reddish to gray-brown depending on the type of oak, and it darkens with age and exposure to light. The outer part of the trunk (sapwood) is lighter and without as much color pigment.

Smoked oak

- is oak that undergoes a steam treatment, which results in the coloring of the tannic acid in the oak. We only use "real" smoked oak from a reputable supplier - i.e. we do not take shortcuts by using a dark stain or dark-colored oil. Therefore, our smoked oak can also vary in color expression from product to product.

Depending on the wood's own acid content, the color after treatment can vary from light honey brown to deep black. The smoked wood contains no harmful substances after treatment.

PLEASE NOTE that the color and color play as well as the color depth of the finished smoked oak may vary. Therefore, 100% uniformity cannot be expected throughout the product. If you don't care about the finished result, we will of course exchange it with a smile😊

Please contact us before ordering if you have any special requests for the smoked oak. We can tint it from very light to very dark depending on your wishes.

American walnut

- is a very beautiful wood with vibrant grain patterns that vary from light to dark brown with a, at times, dark purple tinge. The grain patterns, colors and structure of walnut wood vary greatly - but it is always beautiful..

Use and Care of Magnetic Knife Holders and Knife Blocks

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.

About Our Product Photography

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.

Magnetic knife holder for vertical mounting, with leather front, 40–60 cm – Leather Protected Vertical – multiple variants

¥49,100 JPY

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.

We know what we are doing — whether it is a standard piece or made to your measurements, we take the trouble to build the best, most beautiful and most functional magnetic knife holder on the market.

Every time!
