Nice hefty knife block. Strong magnets but need to place in specific spots for optimal hold
Magnetic Acacia Knife Block
Gorgeous, matte acacia wood. Industrial-strength neodymium magnets. A hefty weight and size that won’t slide around your counter or tumble over. All reasons we love this clever knife block from Marcellin. Its arc-shaped design allows you to fan your blade handles out, maximizing space and safety while displaying your prized steel in a way that actually looks nice. And, because of its sturdiness, this block also makes an exceptional bookend for stashing your cookbooks into the corner of your countertop. All together, it’s a one-two punch that instantly boosts your kitchen organization and keeps your blades (and your hands) as safe as possible.

Frequently Asked Questions
How strong are the magnets — will heavy knives stay secure?
Industrial-strength neodymium magnets hold knives firmly on both sides without shifting or risk of falling. Reviewers across 241 reviews consistently describe the magnet pull as very strong. Heavy chef's knives hold securely; very heavy cleavers may work better positioned vertically per the PDP recommendation.
How many knives does it hold and on how many sides?
Up to 7 knives on each side for a total of 14 knives. The arc-shaped design fans blade handles outward, maximizing capacity and safety by keeping blades separated and visible. At 9.75" x 9.75" with a 2.75" depth, it accommodates a full knife set.
Will it tip over with knives on both sides?
No — it weighs 7.4 lbs, specifically chosen to keep the block stable with a full load of knives on both sides. Reviewers confirm it doesn't shift, wobble, or tip even with multiple heavy knives attached.
Is the acacia wood as beautiful in person as in photos?
Reviewers consistently say it looks better in person. The acacia grain has natural color variation (natural materials color may vary). The food-safe mineral oil finish gives it a rich, warm glow. Multiple reviewers call it the nicest-looking thing in their kitchen.
How do you maintain the acacia wood?
Hand wash with warm water and mild detergent, rinse, and dry immediately — never soak or leave wet. Apply mineral oil periodically to maintain the finish and prevent drying. This is the same care any quality wood cutting board requires.
