Built to Last
Every magnetic knife holder is made from solid hardwood, not veneer or composite. The oak option brings warm, honey tones with distinctive grain patterns. Walnut offers rich, dark colouring that deepens over time. Both woods are naturally durable and moisture-resistant, ideal for kitchen environments. The choice of materials, including a robust metal strip, ensures long-lasting durability and a sleek, modern look.
The magnetic strip runs the full length of each holder, providing consistent holding power across the entire rail. A strong magnet is used to securely hold even heavy metal knives and various kitchen tools, so everything stays exactly where you place it. For best results, clean the surface gently with a soft cloth and avoid abrasive materials to prevent scratch marks and maintain the holder’s appearance.
Choose Your Size
The 30cm magnetic knife strip works well in compact kitchens or for smaller collections. The 45cm and 50cm options suit most home cooks with standard knife sets. The 60cm magnetic knife rail gives you maximum storage for larger collections or professional-grade knives.
Wall mounted installation keeps knives off your worktop and away from children. To install the magnetic knife holder, use the included fixings and follow the provided instructions for a secure fit. If you have any questions about installation or wall fixings, contact your local hardware store or the manufacturer for tailored advice. Before full use, ensure knives are securely held by testing their compatibility with the magnetic surface to prevent slipping or damage. The holders mount securely with included fixings, sitting flush against your wall for a clean, uncluttered look.
Made in Britain
uBaaHaus manufactures each magnetic knife holder in the UK to exacting standards. Every piece is inspected before shipping. The combination of premium hardwood and industrial-strength magnets means these holders will outlast cheaper alternatives many times over.
The natural wood finish needs no special treatment. Simply wipe clean with a damp cloth when needed, then use a clean cloth to wipe dry the surface. This helps prevent water spots and maintains the appearance of your magnetic knife holder. Over time, the wood develops a natural patina that adds character without compromising performance.
Installation and Placement
Installing your magnetic knife rack is a simple way to elevate both the safety and style of your kitchen. To get the most out of your knife holder, start by choosing a spot on your kitchen wall that keeps your knives safe and easily accessible—ideally within arm’s reach of your main prep area. This ensures your sharp knives and kitchen utensils are always at hand, making meal prep more efficient and enjoyable.
Before you begin, make sure the wall surface is clean and dry. This is especially important for achieving a sturdy, long-lasting hold. Whether you’re mounting your magnetic knife strip on a stainless steel surface, tile, wood, or plaster, the right preparation will help maintain the durability and sleek look of your rack. For most installations, you’ll need to drill holes and use appropriate fixing hardware for your wall type with your magnetic knife block. If you are unsure about your wall type its best to hire a professional or speak to a local hardware provider first to ensure secure mounting and damaging your wall or the rack itself.
If you’re working with more challenging surfaces like tile or glass, consider the drill type used as using the wrong option can damage glass and tile. You may consider short term adhesive solutions to ensure your magnetic knife holder stays firmly in place. Stainless steel surfaces offer a strong, modern backdrop but may require extra care to prevent scratches during installation.
To guarantee your magnetic knife rack is level and secure, use a spirit level and check the magnetic strength before loading it with your chef’s knives, heavy cleaver, or other kitchen items. Testing the rack with a few knives first will help ensure it can safely support your collection, from lightweight paring knives to robust, heavy knives.
When deciding on placement, aim for a height that allows you to grab your knives without stretching or bending. This not only keeps your knives safe but also helps prevent accidents and keeps your workspace organised. Proper installation frees up valuable drawer space and keeps your blades visible, protected, and ready for action.
By following these installation and placement tips, you’ll create a kitchen that’s both functional and beautiful. A well-mounted magnetic knife holder from uBaaHaus adds a touch of contemporary style while keeping your knives organised, secure, and always within easy reach.
