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. A bare steel magnetic strip holds a knife well, but it is aggressive in a kitchen built around warmth and material.
This wall mounted magnetic knife rack hides strong neodymium magnets inside a solid oak or walnut strip, set on a mounting channel with a brass finish. The blade meets the magnet at the spine, the thickest and dullest part of the knife, so the edge never touches anything. The 50cm holds up to six knives with blades up to 27cm, the 70cm holds eight or nine, and both take scissors, bottle openers and anything else steel you would rather have within reach.
The wood is finished with natural oil and a food-safe stain, so the steel never reacts with the tannins in oak and walnut and leaves a mark. It carries the engraved Oishya logo, three Geisha fans, a family crest from the Edo period. The rack mounts on two common screws and fixings, which you supply, and the wooden strip sits on hidden magnets so no fixings show.
Dry your knives before hanging them. The finish protects the wood, but a wet blade left on it for long enough will still mark it.

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.
