Working with our local Tacoma Washington wood supplier we are able to source heat treated maple milled to make Fender Guitar necks – using this special guitar wood off-cuts we craft limited batches of wall mounted magnetic 360KnifeBlock™ HEX.
Same strong magnets in a hexagonal pattern located to grab one fabulous knife. Add more 360KnifeBlock™ HEX to store more knives, make your own pattern and love your knives.
4″ x 3.5″ x 1.5″ deep – enough space to actually get your hand between the knife handle and the wall.
Using our unique “backer “system, we incorporated a spirit level in the backer, so you know it’s straight and using strong marine grade stainless steel clips to attach the wood and magnet face to the backer for a clean floating look.
Wood grain and color may vary – every tree is different, and some bars will be more figured than others.
Care – place clean dry knives on the 360KnifeBlock™. Keep your block clean and dry, use any kitchen towel to be sure your knives and block are dry. Learn about how to care for your 360KnifeBlock™ HEX on our FAQ page.
Deep black color starts with our quarter sawn American walnut wood with careful furniture grade staining process in our own woodshop:
- Hand rub on a furniture grade black stain let it rest for 24 hours.
- The next day we lightly sand every side and re-apply a second coat of black again let it rest overnight.
- On the third day we apply the first coats of Emmitt’s “Good Stuff” food safe butcher-block finish and let rest overnight (again).
- Fourth day, before we package up the blocks we rub each black 360KnifeBlock™ with Howards wood conditioner to keep it looking black and lush while it makes it way to you.
Regular oiling with any mineral oil will keep your black block looking fresh for a lifetime.
