The beauty of the Japanese damask knives Kai Tim Mälzer deserves a design, functional strain that can show elegance and practicality at the same time. The design of this Böker knife holder shows the elegance, high quality of solid ash wood and ease of use. It also allows you to immediately identify the required knife. Each of the seven segments houses a magnet with enough power to hold the knife firmly, but still allows easy accessibility when needed. The flat surfaces make it very easy to clean, with no cracks or holes that can collect dust or dirt. Ash wood offers stability and style at the same time.
