Empty Magnetic Knife Block for 9 Kitchen Knives

A top-of-the-range block

The Wusaki block is made by the renowned Italian company Artelegno, experts in woodworking. It's crafted from solid beech wood, a species prized in the kitchen for its longevity and its good looks. The light tones and grain are unique to every block. It will stay with you for years to come.

A hugely convenient system

This Wusaki block is magnetic, a very practical system for storing your knives. Simply place them against the surface of the wood and let the magnets do the work of holding your knives in place. It's quick and secure, and it lets you show off your finest Wusaki blades instead of hiding them away inside the wood. The magnets are strong enough to hold the largest models, such as a chef's knife, a carving knife or a nakiri. To use them, just grip the handle of the knife you want, turn it, and lift the knife out. So there's no need to slot them into notches, which can sometimes cost you time and convenience (since the knife has to match the notch size exactly, whereas the magnetic surface gives you far more freedom).

Room for up to 9 kitchen knives

This block lets you store 9 kitchen knives, covering a large part of your cutting equipment. It has 4 panels of different sizes, each able to hold a different range of blade lengths, from the largest to the smallest. On the biggest panel (2 magnets), you can fit blades up to 28cm. On the second panel (2 magnets), blades up to 24cm. On the third panel (2 magnets), blades up to 22cm. And on the last panel (3 magnets), blades up to 20cm. So you'll have plenty of room to work with.

A breathtaking design

This block looks like no other. The pairing of the wood, with its authentic character, and the shape, which is thoroughly modern, gives it a timeless quality that fits any kitchen. It adds real character to your countertop!

Do not place it near a heat source. Do not rest dirty or damp knives on it. If it needs cleaning, you can wipe the surface with a damp cloth and then dry it.

A stylish solution for storing your knives

Use

• Cut with a straight, linear motion. Twisting motions damage the cutting edge and can break the blade.
• Use a wooden cutting board. Glass or marble dull the cutting edge over time.

Cleaning

• Wash by hand with a soft sponge and mild soap, then rinse with lukewarm water. Abrasive surfaces are not suitable for the steel.
• Oil the blade from time to time with a neutral mineral oil to protect it.

Sharpening

• Don't wait until the blade is completely dull: regular maintenance on a 1000-grit whetstone keeps an excellent cutting edge without removing too much material.
• Match the whetstone's grit to the condition of the blade — coarse grit to restore a very dull edge, fine grit to polish.
