Brass that adorns your knives and keeps them hygienic. An entirely new kind of kitchen storage.
1. A new experience: “display” your knives instead of hiding them
The kitchen knife is a tool you use every day — yet until now it has been hidden away in drawers and knife blocks.
The Brass Knife Magnet Holder turns your treasured knife into the centerpiece of your kitchen.
Crafted in the birthplace of Takaoka copperware, the brass plate carries a calm, subdued luster — simply hanging your favorite knife on it gives a corner of your kitchen a crisp, dignified air.
Holds knives perfectly, ensuring safety
The magnets that hold your knives are embedded into the brass plate one by one. Since no magnets are visible on the surface, it looks like a single solid sheet of brass.
Bring a knife close and it settles on as if drawn in; lift it off and it releases with a light, effortless glide.
Each of these small gestures gracefully composes your time in the kitchen.
More beautiful the more you use it
Brass is a metal that deepens in color and changes its luster over time.
The character it gains with use offers a richness that a brand-new piece cannot.
The ability to enjoy aging not as “deterioration” but as “beautification” is unique to brass. It is a storage tool for a lifetime.

2. The high antibacterial effect of brass
The Brass Knife Magnet Holder lets the blade dry in the open air. Moisture doesn't get trapped, making it a form of storage that keeps daily hygiene easy to maintain.
Brass is also a copper alloy, and the material itself suppresses bacterial growth. This high antibacterial property of brass raises the hygiene of your kitchen even further.
Proven by independent JIS Z 2801 testing
In JIS Z 2801 antibacterial testing by an independent institution, it recorded an antibacterial activity value of R=4.5 against Staphylococcus aureus and R=6.3 against E. coli.
Both far exceed the threshold for “antibacterial effect” (R≥2.0), and after 24 hours, bacteria had decreased to undetectable levels.
In testing under the same conditions, bacteria multiplied on an untreated plastic piece (control), while on the surface of the brass magnet holder they fell to nearly zero.
Testing laboratory: Hygiene Microbiology Research Center (Japan) / Test No. 2026D-BT-04067 / Control: untreated polypropylene resin sample. Values measured after 24 hours of incubation.
*This refers to the antibacterial performance of the holder surface and does not guarantee antibacterial or sterilising effects on knives or food.
3. Easy to Install
No screws needed. Just stick it to the wall for a secure hold.
No screws or tools are needed for installation. The included heavy-duty adhesive tape holds it firmly to a wall or the side of your kitchen counter.
Wipe the surface clean of dust and oil, position the holder, press firmly in place, then let it set for 72 hours.
It can be mounted on smooth, glossy surfaces such as kitchen walls, stainless steel, or glass. Once properly bonded, it will hold your knife safely and securely in place.
*Mounting surfaces and load capacity are subject to conditions. Please be sure to read the included instruction manual before installation.

FAQ
Yes. In JIS Z 2801 antibacterial testing by an independent institution, antibacterial effects exceeding the standard threshold (R≥2.0) were confirmed for both Staphylococcus aureus (R=4.5) and E. coli (R=6.3). This is due to the action of the copper contained in brass; after 24 hours, bacteria decreased below detectable limits. * This refers to the antibacterial performance of the holder's surface, and does not guarantee antibacterial or sanitizing effects on knives or food themselves.
Up to 3 knives as a guideline. When storing, arrange them in a balanced way to avoid uneven weight distribution. Note that some knives may not be storable depending on their size and shape.
Any knife with a magnetic blade, such as carbon steel or stainless steel, can be stored. The KANZEN Knife works perfectly as well. * Non-magnetic blades such as ceramic knives cannot be stored. When storing, point the handle downward and place the flat of the blade against the magnet.
Approximately 1 kg. However, load capacity and adhesive strength vary depending on the material, condition, and environment of the mounting surface. Even within the load capacity, strong impacts can cause the holder to fall — please take care.
Install it with the included ultra-strong adhesive tape (no screw holes needed). Wipe the mounting surface free of dirt and oil, press the holder firmly onto the wall, and then wait 72 hours (3 days) — without hanging any knives — until the tape has fully bonded to the wall.
It can be mounted on large, glossy, flat surfaces (smooth tile, stainless steel, glass, plastic, painted metal, and decorative plywood).
It cannot be mounted on wallpaper, textured surfaces, porous surfaces such as concrete or block, or wooden, board, sand-plaster, or earthen walls.
Yes. Pour hot water over the adhesive tape to soften it, then peel it slowly off the wall. Please see the included instruction manual for detailed steps. * Take great care to avoid burns.
Wipe with a soft cloth dampened with a neutral detergent, then wipe dry and let it air-dry. As it is used in the kitchen, we recommend frequent care to prevent rust and mold. * Avoid scrub brushes, as they can cause scratches.
Each brass knife magnet holder is finished by hand, one at a time, by a craftsperson. Slight variations in color and shape are part of its handmade character — please enjoy them as a unique expression of true craftsmanship.
It is not a defect. Brass is a material whose color gradually deepens with age. This change is the natural character of brass, gaining richness the more you use it. Please enjoy it with confidence.
Lightly polishing with a commercially available brass polishing cloth or metal polish will restore much of the shine. However, it cannot be fully returned to its brand-new state.
This product uses powerful neodymium magnets. Bringing it close to pacemakers or other electronic medical devices may impair their operation and is extremely dangerous. Also note that bringing it close to electronic devices or magnetic media such as PCs, smartphones, and magnetic cards may cause data corruption.
