Edlund KR-698 Knife Rack – 8-Slot Commercial Knife Holder

The Edlund KR-698 is a wall-mounted open knife rack designed for professional kitchen use. It holds eight chef's knives in individual slots, with additional positions for smaller knives, a sharpening steel, and scissors. The open-slot design means staff can see at a glance exactly which knives are present and which are missing — a practical detail that matters during a busy service when knives have a habit of wandering.

In a working kitchen, knife storage is as much a safety concern as an organisational one. A rack like this keeps blades off worksurfaces and out of drawers, reducing the risk of cuts during mise en place and making it easier to enforce a consistent put-back routine. The stainless steel construction resists corrosion in a humid kitchen environment, and the insert is dishwasher safe, which simplifies end-of-service cleaning without risk of dulling the knife edges.

• Open-slot design makes missing knives immediately visible during service
• Dishwasher-safe insert simplifies daily cleaning routines
• NSF certified — suitable for regulated commercial kitchen environments
• Keeps knives off worksurfaces, reducing handling injuries during prep
• Stainless steel construction holds up in humid kitchen conditions

The KR-698 is wall-mounted, so installation requires a suitable solid surface and appropriate fixings — worth confirming before ordering if your kitchen walls are tiled or clad. It is sized for a standard brigade's knife kit rather than very large collections; kitchens with extensive specialist knife sets may find they need a second unit or a higher-capacity alternative.

This rack suits most professional kitchens where knife organisation and hygiene compliance are priorities — from small independent restaurants to contract catering operations. If you are fitting out a new kitchen or reviewing your knife storage, the team are happy to help you think through what works for your layout.
