Each magnetic knife block is created from solid beech wood that has been sustainably harvested from top-quality suppliers and skillfully crafted with the highest grade neodymium magnets to produce an elegant and refined storage system that works well with any kitchen decor. Only water-based varnishes that are compatible with food contact are used to finish each piece; these lacquers also have stain resistant properties to keep the natural wood looking brilliant and clean for many years to come.
