Messermeister Knife & Tool Storage

Knife storage, upgraded, is how Messermeister introduces its Next Level magnetic block. Soft magnetic pads hold up to 11 knives in any arrangement, with room for blades up to 10.5 inches, so a long chef’s knife fits beside a parer.The open-frame design lets air flow around the blades for drying and keeps every handle visible. Because nothing slides into a slot, the edges stay protected and the block is easy to wipe clean. It is the same block used in Messermeister’s Next Level knife sets, so it suits a cook building a collection piece by piece. Its footprint fits beside a stove or under upper cabinets. Learn More

The UV version of Messermeister’s Next Level block adds a bank of ultraviolet LEDs that illuminate the inside of the block for five minutes at the touch of a button. The open, magnetic design holds knives in any arrangement and lets air circulate around the blades.Knives rest against soft magnetic pads, which protect their edges. Messermeister has moved the UV block off its current website, so this listing reflects remaining stock. Learn More

Messermeister’s acacia magnet block combines the ease of a magnetic knife strip with the convenience of a countertop block. Its quarter-round shape holds up to 10 knives, five on each side, and it also holds a honing steel or a pair of shears.Hidden neodymium magnets sit beneath a solid wood surface, so blades rest on wood and the edges are not knocked against slots. Any knife can go anywhere on the block, which suits a growing collection of mixed brands and sizes, and the open faces let knives air dry. The acacia grain makes it an attractive way to display a set of good knives. Learn More
