Product Description
The Edlund KR-700 is a wall-mounted knife rack designed to keep a working set of blades organised, accessible, and safely stored throughout a busy service. It holds eight chef's knives in individual V-slot positions, with additional capacity for smaller knives, a sharpening steel, and scissors — giving a prep team a consistent, dedicated home for their tools without taking up counter or drawer space.
The V-slot design is what makes this unit worth considering over simpler magnetic strips or flat slot racks. Each knife sits independently, so blades do not rest against one another during storage. This protects cutting edges and reduces the gradual wear that accumulates when knives are stored loosely or in contact. A protective skirt around the blade area also reduces the risk of accidental contact when reaching for a knife quickly during service — a straightforward safety consideration in any active prep environment.
Routine sanitation is well catered for. The insert is removable and dishwasher safe, so cleaning it fits into normal end-of-service workflow rather than requiring a separate process. The stainless steel back plate resists corrosion and will not affect knife edges over time. The unit carries NSF certification, which satisfies most commercial food service hygiene requirements without any additional justification needed for inspectors.
- Individual V-slots prevent blade-to-blade contact during storage
- Protective skirt reduces accidental contact when retrieving knives at speed
- Removable insert is dishwasher safe for straightforward, compliant cleaning
- Stainless steel construction resists corrosion in humid kitchen environments
- NSF certified for commercial food service use
The KR-700 suits most kitchen sizes and is a practical choice wherever wall space is available and counter space is limited. In larger brigade operations running separate sections, it is worth considering whether one unit covers the full working set or whether additional racks would better serve the layout and keep tools close to where each section operates.
If you would like to talk through how this fits your prep area or whether it suits your team's working arrangement, we are happy to help you think it through.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Yes — the wall-mount format is specifically practical where counter and drawer space is at a premium. The rack requires a clear vertical run of wall with access to fix it securely, but it has a relatively compact footprint. If your kitchen runs a larger brigade with separate sections and dedicated knife sets per station, you may find a second unit more practical than stretching one rack across the team.
- A magnetic strip holds knives by the blade face, which can cause micro-abrasion over time if knives are placed and removed repeatedly at an angle. The V-slot positions each blade individually in a channel, so there is no blade-to-blade contact and less incidental wear on edges. The protective skirt also provides a degree of cut protection when reaching for a knife quickly, which is a meaningful difference in a busy prep environment.
- The insert is removable and dishwasher safe, so it can go through the rack at the end of service without any additional effort. The stainless steel back plate can be wiped down in place. There are no complex components or materials that require special cleaning agents, which keeps it straightforward to maintain to a standard that satisfies routine hygiene inspections.
