'The Monolith' magnetic knife block
Tax excluded. Shipping calculated at checkout
THE MONOLITH, together with THE WALL , is a free-standing knife block inspired by the monolith in Stanley Kubrick's legendary film "2001: A Space Odyssey".
The tight and stylish design with the symmetrical metal rails gives THE MONOLITH a sculptural expression that makes it a small work of art in itself.
The narrow Monolit (15x27x3.5cm) holds approx. 6 knives, while the wide 25 cm one holds approx. 8-12 knives.
The magnets are invisibly encased in the wood and distributed in several rows so that you achieve optimal adhesion with several contact points on the knife blade. This prevents your knives from "spinning" around and being attracted to each other.

We only use carefully curated FSC certified furniture wood. The primary woods are oak, smoked oak and walnut. In addition, we offer a number of special types of wood that are sold in conjunction with special orders, e.g. Teak, ash, chestnut, golden rain, cherry, wengé, zebrano, beech, etc.
We finish all products with a high-quality wood oil, but if you would prefer e.g. an oil with a white pigment, we can of course do that too - the desired final treatment can be mentioned under the remarks of the ordering.
If you do not find what you are looking for on this page, or if you have questions, we can be contacted by phone +45 4243 4393 or mail.
NOTE that we are always trying to create unique and elaborate products with an exciting visual expression and colour profile. You should therefore take our product photos with a grain of salt and not as a guarantee of how the finished product looks.
Remember, wood is a living material. There are no two pieces of wood that are identical, so all product photos are only indicative.
You can do a little surfing on our website and see examples of products we have made in the different woods to get a better impression of the colour variations of the woods, structure and expression.
If you are in any doubt about choosing a type of wood for a product, you are welcome to contact us for a chat about the possibilities. We gladly counsel and seek to inspire 😊
Our magnetic knife rails and knife blocks have a well-crafted visual expression and are of very high quality.
The vast majority of knife rails and knife blocks on the market are mass-produced in factories in Asia or Eastern Europe.
With us, you will only find 100% Danish-made knife storage, handmade to order especially for you.
Unlike many other knife rails and knife blocks on the market, our knife holders are fully magnetic . This means that the rail or knife block is effective over the entire length/width and you can position your knives as desired.
We only use strong, high-quality neodymium magnets in various sizes and formats, which are carefully selected so that they play optimally with the knife rail's design and purpose.
Many manufacturers choose to send point magnetic products on the market that can only hold a limited number of knives as there is only one round magnet per blade. knife.
In our knife rails, there are several continuous rows of powerful N52 Neodyminum magnets along the entire length of the rail, so your knives are guaranteed to hang regardless of size and weight.
So with us you will find no cheap disc magnets drilled into the wood from the back of the rail, as is often the case with other rails on the market.
The bar magnets in our products are invisibly encased in the wood and are distributed in several unbroken rows so that you achieve optimal adhesion with several contact points on each knife blade. In this way, you avoid your knives sliding down, or "spinning" around and being attracted to each other if they are tight.
A magnet is not just a magnet.
Powerful N52 Neodymium magnets in high quality are expensive, so many manufacturers skip where the bar is lowest.
We import our magnets ourselves directly from a manufacturer we trust, and who delivers our custom-made magnets in exactly the quality and formats we want - so you won't find any cheap hobby magnets in our designs.
That's why we give a 100% guarantee that your knives can be placed freely and hang exactly as you want on all our designs, regardless of which one you choose - otherwise you get your money back 😎

The knife magnets in the webshop are standard designs and formats - but you can easily have a product made according to your wishes. Just contact us - and we will create a tailor-made product for you.
Of course, we make small changes compared to the standard measurements without charge.
If you are looking for a special type of knife magnet or want to have a storage solution designed and tailored, you are of course also welcome to contact us . We are ready to make a non-binding offer for exactly what you need.
Suspension:
All our knife rails come as standard with different types of hidden brackets for screw mounting on the back (screws and rawlplugs included)
- but do you have e.g. a tiled wall that you don't want to screw into, most knife rails can also be produced without suspension so that they can be stuck up with e.g. "No more nails" from Pattex or a similar assembly glue. Special requests for suspension are stated in the comments when ordering.
Right of return
When you order a unique knife rail or knife block in the webshop without having "seen it in real life", there will always be a built-in uncertainty as two products are never the same or have the same visual expression - so perhaps the result was not quite as you had imagined you or expected.
That is why there is a full right of return on all knife holders - even if they are custom-made.
You can now get all RJ Woodworks products with copper details as an alternative to brass or aluminium for an additional charge depending on size and design.
If you are interested in inquiring about the price for a product with copper details, please feel free to send an mail
In general
All product photos are real photos of the specific products. However, some photos have added interiors and surroundings created using artificial intelligence to create atmosphere and put the product into context.
Regarding Woodworks
We aim to continuously expand the catalog so that sizes and designs are best illustrated in the webshop.
There are not photos of all variants and sizes, so the photo that appears when choosing a variant in the webshop mainly reflects only the type of wood - not necessarily size or other variations in the design.
NOTE that we always try to create unique wooden products with an exciting visual expression. You must therefore take our product photos as a guide and not as a guarantee of how the finished product appears in terms of year drawings and color play.
Any questions?
If you have questions about the choice of design, sizes, colors or type of wood - or if you have special wishes, you are always very welcome to contact us at info@rune-jakobsen.dk and get your questions clarified before you order.

CREATING THE OPTIMAL MAGNETIC KNIFE HOLDER IS ABOUT KNOWHOW AND AESTHETICS!
It requires knowledge and experience to choose the right type of magnets and place them invisibly in the wood so that full magnetism is achieved throughout the length/width of the holder as well as optimal attachment of the knife blade so that the knife can be easily removed from the block or rail without using unnecessary force.
It is this kind of know-how that characterizes the knife holders from Rune-Jakobsen Design.
