Blackboard Wide – wide black-stained magnetic knife holder

A Considered Alternative to Mass-Produced Knife Holders

In a world dominated by mass-produced knife holders and blocks, we’ve chosen a more thoughtful approach.

Every handmade magnetic knife holder is made to order in our small, specialist woodworking studio – with exceptional care, quality materials, and a direct line of communication with you.

You’ll find only bespoke, handcrafted magnetic knife holders here – crafted with equal focus on functionality and timeless design.

Handmade in Denmark – Delivered Across the UK

Our Scandinavian magnetic knife holders are regarded as some of the strongest and finest on the market.

For nearly ten years, we’ve supplied premium magnetic knife holders to discerning home cooks and design enthusiasts across the United Kingdom.

Each piece is crafted to order in our workshop in northern Denmark, where my wife Kari and I personally oversee every stage of production with great care.

Fully Magnetic Design – Strong Grip, Free Placement

Place Knives Anywhere – No Compromise

Unlike traditional holders, our magnetic knife holders are fully magnetic, allowing knives to be placed freely across the surface – with no slipping or magnetic clustering.

High-Quality Neodymium Magnets

We use only high-grade Neodymium magnets, custom-made and imported directly from a trusted manufacturer.

Where others use cheap disc magnets, we embed multiple continuous magnet rows for a reliable grip – ensuring each knife connects at several points along the blade.

Weight Capacity?

We’re often asked how much weight they can hold. While this depends on various factors, all of our magnetic knife holders are more than capable of safely holding almost any kitchen knife.

Need Even More Power?

For heavier knives or those with low magnetic properties, we offer the X-tra Strong Series – delivering around twice the magnetic strength of our standard range.

Crafted with Purpose – Detail by Detail

We see our knife holders as more than tools – they are functional design objects made with purpose and passion.

Each one is created from FSC-certified oak or walnut, hand-sanded to a smooth finish, and built to last for years to come.

A final coat of eco-friendly furniture oil is applied, and the piece is discreetly marked with our Rune-Jakobsen signature – a seal of quality, care and craftsmanship.

Standard Models and Made-to-Measure Solutions

We offer a selection of wall-mounted magnetic knife holders and freestanding knife blocks in set sizes – but we also provide fully custom-made knife holders based on your preferences.

Small adjustments to size or fixings are included free of charge, and we’re happy to advise you on any special requests.

Wall Fixings or Adhesive Installation

All magnetic knife holders come with concealed wall fixings and mounting kits. Prefer not to drill? We can supply it without fittings – ready for use with adhesive products such as “No More Nails.” Simply let us know during checkout.

Your Satisfaction Guaranteed

We understand ordering a bespoke kitchen product online can be daunting. That’s why we offer a full money-back guarantee – even for custom orders. If it’s not what you imagined, you can return it without hassle.

Thoughtful Design That Lasts

We don’t produce throwaway products. We create enduring kitchen accessories that enhance your space both practically and visually.

Explore our online collection – or get in touch if you’re after something truly individual.

What length should I choose?

The length decides how many knives your magnetic knife holder can take. The simplest method is to lay your knives out with the spacing you want, then measure the total width – that gives you the minimum length your new magnetic knife holder needs.

Which magnetic knife holders are the strongest?

We design ours so that 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, since magnet strength is the same across all widths within the same series.

• Models 4.5–8.5 cm wide have the same magnetic force.
• Models 10–28 cm wide have roughly 50% stronger magnetic force.
• All X-tra Strong designs have 100% stronger magnetic force than the standard models.

If you have very large or heavy knives, we recommend a wide model or X-tra Strong. That gives a larger magnetic contact surface and keeps the knives especially stable.

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.)

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

🌍 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.
