Omcan Magnetic Rack Stainless Steel

The embedded magnet strip holds standard 8 to 12-inch chef knives, cleavers, and boning blades without slip. Heavier cleavers or full-tang scimitars should still be tested before committing to the install location.

Mount above the prep surface but well below the line of overhead cabinet doors, with at least 18 inches of clearance from cooking surfaces. Avoid splash zones from sinks and dish stations.

The stainless face is smooth enough that careful placement causes no marks, but sliding blades sideways onto the rack will scratch them. Place the spine first, then roll the edge down to protect the cutting bevel.

Open-air storage prevents the moisture buildup that warps wooden blocks and breeds bacteria inside the slots. It also displays the full knife collection clearly, speeding up tool selection during service alongside dedicated knives for proteins and produce.

Yes, the 304-grade stainless body resists the corrosion that would destroy a painted or wooden rack. Still, dry knives fully before placing them on the bar to keep edges from rusting.

Wipe the face daily with a sanitizing cloth and run a degreaser pass weekly to clear oil film that accumulates from knife transfers. Skip abrasive pads, which scuff the brushed stainless finish.

Both, though commercial settings benefit most from getting blades off the counter and out of drawers. See the full knife storage lineup for slotted blocks, scabbards, and bags that complement this rack.
