FAQs

How many knives can this block hold?

The Rockingham Forge Magnetic Knife Block is designed to safely store up to 5 kitchen knives.

What is the material of the knife block?

The knife block is made from high-quality, solid ash wood with strong integrated magnets.

Can I store all types of kitchen knives on this block?

It is best suited for metal knives. It is not recommended for ceramic knives or knives with handles that might interfere with the magnetic hold.

How do I clean the ash wood block?

Wipe the wood with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners and do not submerge the block in water.

What are the dimensions of the knife block?

The dimensions are Height: 23 cm, Width: 21 cm, and Depth: 12 cm.

Will this help keep my knives sharp?

Yes, by preventing blades from knocking against each other or other hard surfaces, it helps reduce dulling and prolongs the life of your knife edges.

Is the black color part of the wood or a coating?

The product description specifies 'Colour: Black' for the Ash Wood model (BLK-ASHL5/BK), indicating a finish applied to the ash wood.

Troubleshooting

Knives are not holding securely to the block.

Ensure the knives have a good metal surface for the magnets to grip. Check that the knives are placed flat against the wood. For very heavy knives, the magnetic strength might be a limitation.

Wood appears dull or stained.

Wipe the wood with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn marks, a mild wood cleaner might be used sparingly, followed by a dry cloth. Avoid excessive moisture.

Block is unstable on the counter.

Ensure the counter surface is level and clean. Check if the base of the block is free from debris that might be causing unevenness.
