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.
