Hardwood

The Gimme Shelter Magnetic Knife Rack is a wall-mounted knife storage solution designed to keep blades secure, visible, and within easy reach without taking up counter space. Clean lines, solid hardwood, and concealed magnets make it as functional as it is restrained.

Unlike continuous magnetic strips, this rack uses individually placed rare-earth magnets embedded beneath the surface. The result is a more natural balance: knives settle into stable positions instead of competing for a single magnetic line.

Each rack is handcrafted from solid hardwood, sanded progressively through fine grits, and finished by hand with a food-safe natural oil. The finish protects the wood while preserving its tactile warmth and grain character—built for daily kitchen use, not display only.

Available Hardwoods

Each piece is made from a single hardwood species. Natural variation in grain and color means no two are exactly alike.

A note on magnetic storage

Magnetic knife storage works best in adult kitchens where knives won’t be brushed or bumped accidentally. Install at a comfortable height and away from high-traffic areas.
