The Rockingham Forge Magnetic Knife Block can safely store up to 5 kitchen knives.
The block is made from solid ash wood, known for its durability and attractive grain.
Wipe the block with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh detergents or submerging the wood in water. For wood maintenance, use a food-safe mineral oil periodically.
It is designed for up to 5 standard kitchen knives. Very large, heavy, or unusually shaped knives might not be held as securely as standard ones.
The dimensions are Height: 23 cm, Width: 21 cm, and Depth: 12 cm.
Yes, by storing knives openly, it reduces the risk of rust and blunting often associated with traditional knife storage solutions where blades are enclosed.
The magnets are designed to hold most standard kitchen knives securely. For exceptionally large or heavy knives, test the hold to ensure it is sufficient for your peace of mind.
Ensure the knife blade is clean and dry. For best results, position the blade flat against the magnetic surface. Check that the knife has a sufficient metal content; very thin or ceramic blades may not be held effectively. If the magnets appear weak, ensure no other strong magnetic objects are placed nearby.
Condition the wood by applying a food-safe mineral oil with a clean cloth. Allow the oil to penetrate for a few hours, then wipe off any excess. Repeat as needed, typically every few months or when the wood looks dry.
Ensure the countertop surface is level and clean. The block has a weight of 1.8 kg for stability, but an uneven surface can cause wobbling. Reposition the block to a more stable area.
Setup: Simply place the magnetic knife block on a stable, flat surface in your kitchen. Ensure there is adequate clearance above and around the block for safe knife placement and removal.
Compatibility: This block is designed to store up to 5 kitchen knives. It is compatible with most standard-sized kitchen knives, including chef's knives, utility knives, paring knives, and bread knives. For optimal performance, ensure the metal tang of the knife is in full contact with the magnetic surface. Very small or unusually shaped knives may not hold as securely.
Care: To maintain the beauty and longevity of the ash wood, wipe the block clean with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or soaking the wood in water. For deeper cleaning, use a wood cleaner specifically designed for kitchen utensils. Periodically, you may wish to condition the wood with a food-safe mineral oil to prevent drying and cracking.
