Product Information

Full details

This Grunwerg Rockingham Forge Magnetic Wall Rack is designed for home cooks and chefs seeking a stylish and practical way to store their knives. Its key benefit is combining the classic aesthetic of a wooden block with the modern convenience and safety of magnetic storage, while keeping blades safely out of view.

FAQs

How does the magnetic system work without scratching knives?

The rack uses soft, flexible magnetic material within each slot. This material provides a strong magnetic hold without requiring any metal parts that could come into direct contact with and scratch the knife blades.

What types of knives is this rack best suited for?

It is recommended for most medium and high-quality knives made with steel blades. It may not hold very heavy or unusually shaped knives as securely as lighter or standard ones.

How many knives can the 6-slot rack hold?

The rack is designed with 6 magnetic slots, allowing you to store up to six individual knives.

Is the beech wood treated or sealed?

The beech wood is finished to provide durability and a smooth surface. It is not typically sealed with a thick coating, allowing for a natural feel and easy care with a damp cloth.

What is the expected lifespan of the magnetic strength?

The magnetic material used is designed to guarantee its magnetism for up to 30 years.

Can I mount this rack on any type of wall?

You can mount it on most wall types, but you will need to use appropriate wall fixings (e.g., screws, anchors) suitable for your specific wall material (e.g., drywall, plaster, brick).

Does it come with mounting hardware?

No, the mounting hardware (screws, wall anchors) is not included, as different wall types require different fixings.

Troubleshooting

Knives not holding securely

Ensure the knives are medium to high quality with sufficient metallic content. Clean both the knife blade and the magnetic slots to remove any dust or debris that might interfere with the magnetic connection.

Wood surface appears dull

Gently wipe the wood with a clean, damp cloth and then buff dry with a soft cloth. For deeper restoration, a very light application of food-safe wood oil can be considered, testing on an inconspicuous area first.

Rack feels loose on the wall

Check the wall fixings and ensure they are tightened appropriately for the wall type. If necessary, use stronger or different types of wall anchors.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Determine the desired mounting location on a suitable wall.
  2. Use appropriate wall fixings (not included) for your wall type (e.g., drywall anchors, screws for studs).
  3. Securely mount the rack to the wall.

Compatibility:

  • Recommended for most medium and high-quality knives.

Care:

  • Ensure knives are dry before placing them on the magnetic surface to prevent potential water spots on the wood.
