The new magnetic knife block from the Messermeister brand is a safe and hygienic way to store your knives. This illuminated version features ultraviolet LEDs that illuminate the inside of the block for 5 minutes at the touch of a button. The open panels are easy to clean and allow airflow, creating a dry environment that limits the growth of microorganisms. Place your knives on the soft magnetic pads. Knives with blades up to 26.5 cm long can be mounted on the acacia wood panels. This Messermeister magnetic knife block has room for 16 knives depending on the size or just the bare essentials, without ever having an empty space left. Our artful design looks great in any kitchen and is made from sustainably sourced natural materials.
