Unique Danish craftsmanship with attention to detail

Adlon3 was founded in 1996 by craftsman Frederik Møller and has since specialised in exclusive wooden kitchen accessories. Their knife magnets are the result of uncompromising quality, with every rack produced manually to high standards. The magnets are embedded within the wood so the knives hang securely without touching one another – while maintaining a minimalist and functional design.

Materials and wood types – natural variation and durability

At HWL, you will find Adlon3 knife magnets in selected, durable wood types such as oak, smoked oak, beech, padauk and walnut.

The hardness of the wood is measured using the Janka scale, which shows resistance to wear. These woods range from above-average to very hard, making them ideal for everyday kitchen use. Each rack has its own unique structure, colour and grain pattern – no two products are exactly alike. The combination of strength and natural beauty makes Adlon3’s products a long-lasting investment.

Care and maintenance of your knife magnet

To preserve the shine and protect the wood, we recommend treating the rack 1–2 times a year with raw linseed oil. This nourishes the surface and enhances its natural warmth. Use a dry cloth to apply the oil – and remember to dispose of the cloth safely, as linseed oil can be self-combustible.

Knives should always hang with the blunt side against the rack to avoid damage to both blade and wood. With proper maintenance, you will enjoy a product that retains its beauty and functionality for many years.

FAQ

How is an Adlon3 knife magnet mounted?
Each magnet comes with special screws and fittings that ensure stable installation.

Are Adlon3 knife magnets sustainable?
Yes. Around 80% of the wood used is reclaimed from old buildings and furniture, giving new life to existing materials and reducing resource consumption.

Can the magnets hold heavy knives?
Absolutely. The magnets in Adlon3’s racks are extra strong and can support even large chef’s knives without slipping.

Which wood type should I choose?
For a light, classic look, oak or beech is ideal. For a darker and more dramatic expression, smoked oak, walnut or padauk are excellent choices.

How do I maintain the rack properly?
Wipe the surface with a damp cloth and apply raw linseed oil 1–2 times a year to preserve the wood’s natural glow and protection.
