Guard knife block GEFU 13958 by NPC Polska — stainless steel and walnut, 90×250×256 mm

GEFU 13958 Guard knife block by NPC Polska is a countertop magnetic knife storage unit combining stainless steel and walnut wood. Measuring 90×250×256 mm, it is designed to hold and protect kitchen knives while keeping blades organized and accessible. The double-sided internal magnet secures knives on both faces of the block, allowing you to store multiple knives without slots or sheaths and to present them visibly on the worktop.

Advantages

The combination of high-grade stainless steel and fine walnut provides a durable surface that resists corrosion where knives contact the block while delivering a warm wood appearance. The double-sided magnet holds knives securely and allows blades to be mounted and removed quickly without dulling contact points typical of slot-style blocks. An anti-slip foot keeps the block stable during use and prevents movement on countertops. The compact footprint saves space while accommodating a variety of knife sizes on both sides.

Suitable for

• Home kitchens needing space-saving, visible knife storage
• Professional or small commercial kitchens requiring quick access to multiple knives
• Users who prefer magnetic storage over slot blocks to reduce blade wear
• Owners of knives with blades up to 25 cm in length

How to use

Place the GEFU Guard knife block on a level, dry worktop using the anti-slip foot to ensure stability. Position each knife so the blade contacts the walnut/stainless area where the internal magnet will secure it; blades can be attached on either side to maximise capacity and visibility. When removing a knife, grip the handle firmly and pull straight away from the block to disengage the magnet. Avoid placing excessively wet or dirty knives on the block; dry and clean blades before storing to reduce moisture exposure to the wood and metal surfaces.

Recommendations

For long-term care, clean blades before storage and periodically wipe the walnut surface with a lightly damp cloth followed by drying. Do not submerge the block in water or use aggressive cleaning agents. Keep the block out of direct heat and prolonged sunlight to preserve the wood finish. Check magnetic retention periodically, and place heavier or very large knives near the center height to maintain balance.
