Dalstrong Magnetic Blade Wall (Frost White, 14.5 x 11.7 Double Sided)

How many knives can this magnetic wall hold?

The double-sided design accommodates up to 10 generously sized chef knives. The front side typically holds your daily prep knives like chef, santoku, utility, paring and vegetable knives, whilst the back side can store steak knives or additional blades. The powerful magnets grip various blade shapes and sizes securely.

Will smaller knives stay attached to the magnetic surface?

Smaller knives like paring knives may have less magnetic contact area, potentially making them less secure than larger blades. The high-powered recessed magnets are designed for various blade sizes, but lighter knives require careful placement. Position smaller knives where they have maximum contact with the magnetic surface for optimal grip.

How do I properly attach and remove knives from the magnetic wall?

When placing a knife, attach the spine first, then twist to adhere the blade edge. For removal, twist the knife so the cutting edge leaves the surface first, followed by the spine. This technique prevents the blade from digging into the polycarbonate cover and maintains both knife sharpness and surface integrity.

Is the polycarbonate cover scratch-resistant?

The food-grade polycarbonate cover is durable but can scratch if knives are dragged across the surface. Proper knife placement and removal techniques prevent scratching. The cover is heat and cold resistant, wipes clean easily and protects the underlying wood surface from damage during daily use.

What are the exact dimensions and weight specifications?

The magnetic wall measures 14.5 x 11.7 inches and weighs 5.31kg total. The substantial weight comes from the heavy stainless steel base, which provides exceptional stability. Package dimensions are 44.45cm length, 44.2cm width and 12.45cm height, making it suitable for most kitchen counters.

Can this magnetic wall tip over during use?

The extra-sturdy stainless steel base weighing 5.31kg provides exceptional stability and prevents tipping during knife removal or placement. The low centre of gravity design ensures the unit remains stable even when accessing larger chef knives. The substantial weight distribution makes accidental tipping virtually impossible during normal use.

Is the acacia wood finish food-safe and easy to maintain?

The premium acacia wood features a food-safe finish that complements the frost white stain. The natural wood grain patterns make each unit unique. The polycarbonate cover protects the wood surface from moisture and scratches, whilst the wood itself requires minimal maintenance beyond occasional dusting of exposed areas.

Does this work with non-Dalstrong knife brands?

Yes, the powerful recessed magnets work with any steel knife regardless of brand. The magnetic system grips various blade shapes, sizes and steel types effectively. However, the spacing and design are optimised for standard chef knife proportions, so some specialty blade shapes may not sit as perfectly as traditional kitchen knives.
