JYARZ Magnetic Knife Block (Bamboowood, 26cm x 12.5cm x 27.5cm)

Does this magnetic knife block come with knives included?

No, this product is sold as a knife holder only and does not include any knives. The JYARZ magnetic block is designed as a universal storage solution that works with your existing knife collection. This allows you to use it with any brand or style of knives you already own, making it a flexible storage option for mixed collections.

What types of knives can this magnetic block hold?

The magnetic system accommodates virtually any knife with a steel blade, including chef's knives, paring knives, bread knives and carving knives. The strong magnetic force works with both carbon steel and stainless steel blades. However, knives with ceramic blades or non-magnetic materials will not stick to the surface, as they lack the ferrous metal content required for magnetic attraction.

How strong are the magnets and will they damage my knife blades?

The magnets are specifically designed to provide secure holding power without damaging blade edges. Unlike traditional slotted blocks that can cause blade contact and dulling, the magnetic system holds knives by their flat sides, avoiding edge contact. The magnetic strength is calibrated to hold knives firmly whilst allowing easy removal without excessive force that could cause accidents.

Is this knife block suitable for professional kitchen use?

Yes, the JYARZ magnetic block is designed for both home and restaurant environments. The solid wood construction withstands heavy daily use, whilst the compact design maximises workspace efficiency in busy professional kitchens. The easy-clean surface meets commercial hygiene requirements and the universal compatibility works with professional knife sets of varying sizes and brands.

How do I clean and maintain this wooden knife block?

Cleaning is straightforward - simply wipe the surface with a damp cloth and dry immediately to prevent moisture absorption. The smooth bamboo surface doesn't trap food particles like slotted blocks, making maintenance easier. Avoid soaking in water or putting in the dishwasher, as this can damage the wood and weaken the magnetic components. Keep in a dry, well-ventilated area for optimal longevity.

What are the exact dimensions and will it fit on my counter?

The block measures 26cm length x 12.5cm width x 27.5cm height, making it compact enough for most kitchen counters whilst providing ample magnetic surface area. At 2.7kg, it's heavy enough to remain stable when removing knives but light enough to move easily if needed. The vertical design minimises counter footprint compared to horizontal knife blocks or drawer storage systems.

Can children safely use this magnetic knife holder?

While the magnetic system is safer than exposed blade storage, this product should be kept away from children as recommended by the manufacturer. The strong magnets securely hold sharp knives, but children may not have the coordination to safely remove blades. Position the block at adult height and ensure children understand kitchen safety rules before allowing supervised access to cooking tools.

Will this work with Japanese knives or specialty blade shapes?

The magnetic surface accommodates Japanese knives including santoku, nakiri and yanagiba styles, as well as Western chef's knives and specialty shapes. The universal design doesn't rely on specific slot sizes, so unusual blade widths or lengths pose no problem. However, ensure your Japanese knives have steel construction rather than ceramic, as only ferrous metals will adhere to the magnetic surface effectively.
