Product Description
The Dick Magnetic Knife Block is a handmade solid beech wood storage block designed to keep a full set of knives and steels organised, accessible, and safely secured at the workstation. Both sides of the block carry three ultra-strong magnetic strips, holding everything from a small paring knife through to a heavier cleaver firmly in place. Two slots on the top accommodate steels, keeping the essentials together without cluttering the bench.
In a working kitchen environment, having knives within immediate reach without the fumbling of a traditional knife roll or the hazard of loose blades on a board makes a practical difference during busy service. The magnetic retention is strong enough to hold knives securely even with the general movement and vibration of a commercial pass or prep area.
The solid beech wood construction is durable and straightforward to wipe down at the end of service. Beech is a close-grained hardwood that resists warping and holds up well in the humidity of a kitchen environment, which is relevant if the block is sited near a cooking line or dishwash area.
- Six magnetic strips across both faces accommodate a wide range of knife sizes
- Twin top slots keep steels handy and the block self-contained
- Solid beech construction is robust and easy to keep clean
- Handmade finish suits front-of-house display or back-of-house use
This block suits smaller brigades, butchery prep areas, or any section where a compact, well-organised knife station is preferable to a roll or a drawer. It is not intended to replace a full knife rack for a large brigade, but as a bench-top solution for a working section it is a practical and considered piece of kit.
If you are unsure whether this suits your particular setup or would like to discuss knife storage options more broadly, the team is happy to help.

Frequently Asked Questions
- It works well for a smaller section or individual station where one chef needs their primary knives and steels within reach. For a larger brigade sharing a central knife store, a wall-mounted magnetic strip rack or a higher-capacity solution would typically be more practical.
- Wipe down with a damp cloth after service and dry thoroughly. Avoid submerging in water or putting it through a dishwasher, as prolonged moisture exposure can affect the wood over time. Occasional treatment with a food-safe mineral oil will help maintain the beech if the block is in regular daily use.
- The magnetic strips are rated for use with knives up to and including a cleaver. That said, it is worth positioning heavier blades towards the lower strips for stability, and siting the block away from surfaces where it could be knocked or disturbed during service.
