Know before you buy
The rack is designed for wall mounting and includes a pair of 55mm screws to ensure a secure installation. Because it is made of solid blackened steel, we recommend mounting it into a wall stud or using appropriate wall anchors for your specific surface type.
Yes, the rack features five strong magnetic bars designed to provide a secure hold for a variety of kitchen knives, including chef, bread, and slicing knives. The magnetic strength is calibrated to keep your tools firmly in place while remaining easy to grab when needed.
The blackened steel finish is durable but should not be placed in the dishwasher. Simply wipe the rack down with a dry or slightly damp cloth to keep it clean; avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbers that could damage the matte finish.
The rack features a rail that sits 40mm from the wall, providing ample clearance for hanging various kitchen utensils. The overall length of the unit is 530mm, offering a balanced footprint that saves counter space while keeping your most-used tools organized.
The rack is crafted with a smooth, matte finish intended to protect your blades. However, as with any magnetic storage, we recommend placing the spine of the knife against the magnet first and then rotating the blade toward the rack to prevent any potential scuffing.
