Why this kind of storage

Knife blocks with slots dull the edge. Magnetic strips look harsh in a kitchen. This solves both.

Slot blocks force the blade through a tight wooden channel every time you put a knife away. That channel dulls the edge. Magnetic wall strips hold a knife well, but they are aggressive in a kitchen built around warmth and material.

This block uses concealed neodymium magnets inside a hand-finished hardwood face. The blade meets the magnet at the spine, the thickest and dullest part of the knife, so the edge never touches anything. It holds up to six knives with blades up to 27cm, sits flat on the counter and reads as a piece of furniture rather than a kitchen gadget.

Oak or American walnut, finished with natural oil and a food-safe stain, so the steel never reacts with the tannins in the wood and leaves a mark. The face carries the engraved Oishya logo, three Geisha fans, a family crest from the Edo period. Made in our Małopolska workshop by the craftsmen who finish every Oishya handle.

Where it is made

Małopolska. The same workshop that finishes every Oishya handle.

The block is built in our Małopolska workshop in Poland, by the same craftsmen who finish every Oishya handle. The wood is selected for grain and density, the magnet bays routed to fit precisely, the finish natural oil and a food-safe stain, so the steel never reacts with the tannins in the wood and leaves a mark.

Because it holds the knife by the spine rather than forcing it through a slot, the edge never meets anything that could dull it. Knives sit handles-up, ready to grab, drying as they sit.

Care, briefly

Oiled wood needs to be oiled.

01.

Wipe down weekly.

A barely-damp cloth, no soap. The magnets are sealed, but standing water on the wood will leave marks over the years.

02.

Re-oil twice a year.

A teaspoon of food-safe mineral or camellia oil on a cloth. Let it soak in, wipe off the excess. Brings the colour back.

03.

Keep knives dry before putting them up.

Don’t put a wet knife up. The magnet is strong enough to hold it, but moisture left there over time will mark the wood.

Frequently asked.

How strong is the magnet?
Strong enough to hold a full chef's knife securely by the spine, but designed so the blade lifts off cleanly without dragging. It holds the knife, it doesn't fight you.
Will it scratch my knives?
No. The knife rests against wood, not against the magnet directly, and it's held by the spine — the edge never touches anything.
Wall-mounted or freestanding?
Both exist in the range. The wall racks come with fixings and a fitting guide; the freestanding block just needs a flat surface.
How do I keep the wood looking new?
Wipe it down weekly with a barely-damp cloth and re-oil twice a year with food-safe oil. That's all it asks.
