  • Pro: Excellent capacity for the price, holding up to 14 knives securely.
  • Con: The purely functional grey plastic may not suit front-of-house kitchens.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Corner Butcher, a popular local shop in York, needed a better way to organise their specialist knives and  improve their compliance with health and  safety standards, moving away from a cluttered magnetic strip.

"We were constantly searching for the right knife and  worried about them getting knocked. This rack has sorted that out completely. Everything has its place, it's safer for the team, and  cleaning is a doddle."

David Chen – Head Butcher

The change has helped them improve their clean-down time by 15 minutes each day and  they passed their last EHO inspection with flying colours.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Choose a solid wall space away from high-traffic 'pinch points' but close to your prep zones.
  • Ensure the rack is mounted perfectly level to prevent knives from sitting unevenly in their slots.
  • Use appropriate wall fixings (not supplied) for your specific wall type, like plasterboard anchors or masonry plugs.
  • Test the rack's stability by giving it a firm but gentle pull before inserting any knives.

Keeping It Going

  • The rack is designed to be easily lifted off its mounting screws for thorough cleaning.
  • Wash regularly using warm, soapy water and  a food-safe sanitiser spray.
  • Ensure the rack is completely air-dried before re-mounting to prevent any moisture build-up.
  • Periodically check the slots for any food debris or build-up and  clean as needed.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Knife Storage

Not sure what fits your kitchen best? Here are a few things to consider before you buy.

Assess Your Team Size

Consider how many chefs are working at once. A small cafe might need one rack, while a large hotel kitchen may need a dedicated wall mounted knife rack for kitchen sections.

Measure Your Wall Space

Check the dimensions of available wall space near your prep area. Wall-mounted racks are brilliant space-savers, but you need a dedicated spot for them.

Think About Hygiene

Look for materials that are non-porous and  easy to clean. Racks like this one, which can be easily removed from the wall, are ideal for deep cleaning.

Prioritise Blade Safety

Racks with individual slots do a better job of protecting blades from chipping compared to magnetic strips where knives can knock together.

Consider Kitchen Workflow

Place your rack in a logical spot, often between your wash and  prep areas, to create a smooth, efficient, and  safe flow for your team.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What kind of knives does this rack hold?

A: It's designed for a wide range of professional chef knives, including cook's knives, paring knives, boning knives, and  slicers with standard blade widths.

Q: Are wall fixings (screws/plugs) included?

A: Wall fixings are not supplied, as the correct type depends on your specific wall surface (e.g., brick, tile, or plasterboard).

Q: Can this rack be put in a commercial dishwasher?

A: To prevent potential warping from very high temperatures, we recommend hand-washing with a food-safe sanitiser. It's quick and  easy.

Q: How deep are the slots?

A: The unit has a total depth of 76mm, providing ample space and  stability for the handles and  blades of most standard commercial knives.

Q: Will it hold very wide-bladed knives like meat cleavers?

A: It depends on the cleaver's width. The slots are a standard size, so extra-wide blades may not fit. It's best suited for standard profile knives.

Q: Is the plastic food-safe?

A: Yes, absolutely. The rack is made from durable, food-grade plastic designed for use in a professional commercial kitchen environment.

Q: How do you mount it to the wall?

A: The rack has pre-drilled mounting holes. Simply measure the distance between them, mark your wall, drill, and  attach with appropriate screws.

Q: Could I mount this inside a large cupboard door?

A: Potentially, but you must measure carefully to ensure there is enough clearance for the door to close fully with the knives and  their handles in place.

Why Plastic Slots Beat Magnetic Strips for Blade Care

Ever wondered why many professional kitchens favour a plastic catering knife rack over a magnetic one? It comes down to protecting your investment. While magnetic strips are convenient, they can be harsh on your blades. Every time a knife is attached or removed, there's a risk of the hardened steel edge striking the metal strip, causing microscopic chips that dull the blade over time.

Think of this plastic rack as a dedicated sheath for each knife. The individual slots guide the blade in and  out without any harsh contact on the cutting edge. It’s like putting your glasses in a hard case instead of just tossing them on a table. This simple design feature prevents blade damage, preserves sharpness, and  ultimately extends the life of your most crucial tools, saving you money on sharpening and  replacements.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Restaurant Kitchens: To keep chef knives organised, safe, and  ready for action during a hectic dinner service.
  • Catering Colleges: An essential for teaching students about kitchen safety and  proper tool management from day one.
  • Butcher Shops: A hygienic and  secure way to store boning knives, cleavers, and  slicers away from work surfaces.
  • Fishmongers: Perfect for keeping filleting and  scaling knives within easy reach while maintaining a clean, organised workspace.
