Four knives. One block. Endless possibilities. The Messermeister Magnetic Knife Block with Knives Custom 5-piece is not just a knife set - it's a statement on your countertop. Made in Solingen, customisable to your taste and designed to last for years. This is the set you've been searching for.
Why this knife block is different
Most knife sets are interchangeable. This one is not. Messermeister Custom combines craftsmanship from Solingen with the freedom to style your knives entirely to your liking - from the handle scales to the screws. The result? A tool that feels like yours, because it truly is. And that open magnetic wooden block? It keeps your knives safe, organised, and always within reach - so you don't waste a second between cutting and serving.
- Made in Solingen - German craftsmanship, full tang construction, and a hand-finished edge of 15 degrees.
- Stonewashed blades - Scratches are less visible, and the knives remain looking well-kept, even after intensive use.
- Customisable - Swap the handle scales and Torx screws to give your knife a look that suits you.
- Open magnetic block - You grab exactly the knife you need, without searching or rummaging.
- Safe storage - The magnets keep the blades apart, ensuring they stay sharp and you work safely.
- Knife for Life - Messermeister offers a lifetime guarantee against material and manufacturing defects. Buy once, enjoy forever.
The four knives that complete your kitchen
This is not a set full of fillers. Each knife in the Custom set has a clear role - together they cover everything you need in the kitchen.
Chef's Knife 20 cm - the all-rounder
From a fine julienne of courgette to expertly portioning a thick ribeye: the 20 cm chef's knife is your most loyal kitchen companion. The wide blade gives you control, and the 15-degree edge ensures a sharp, smooth cutting motion. Herbs, vegetables, meat - this knife handles it all without you having to force it.
Offset Bread Knife 20 cm - slicing to the board
The offset bread knife has a raised grip, so your knuckles never touch the cutting board. That sounds like a detail - but once used, you'll wonder how you ever managed without it. Whether you're slicing artisanal sourdough or portioning soft brioche: this knife cuts to the last millimetre, without pressing or tearing.
Utility Knife 15 cm - the quiet strength
Slicing cheese, halving an avocado, laying out sausage slices on the plate - the 15 cm utility knife does the jobs that are too big for a paring knife and too small for the chef's knife. Compact, agile, and surprisingly powerful. You'll see how often you reach for this knife.
Paring Knife 9 cm - for the finest work
Peeling potatoes, finely chopping a mango, preparing an apple for dessert - the 9 cm paring knife is small but effective. The short length gives you maximum control for precision work, while the stonewashed blade stays sharp and looks well-kept.
Customisation: your knife, your style
The Custom series is built on a clever idea: you decide how your knife looks. The standard handle is made from recycled canvas with natural resin - sturdy, pleasant to hold, and durable. But do you want more character? Swap the handle scales for one of the Custom options: Barnwood, Driftwood, Indigo, Russet, or Terra. And the Torx screws? They come in copper, black, or silver. These are small details, but they make your knife unmistakably yours. Convenient too: if a handle scale needs replacing after years of intensive use, you can simply swap it out without discarding the entire knife.
The blade: stonewashed Solingen steel
The blade of the Custom knives is made from cold-rolled German X50 steel (1.4116) with a hardness of 57-58 HRC. This is the ideal balance between toughness and sharpness: hard enough to stay sharp for a long time, tough enough not to break under intensive use. The stonewashed finish is more than just attractive - small scratches from use are hardly noticeable, meaning your knives still look well-kept after years. The edge is hand-finished at 15 degrees: an angle popular in professional kitchens that ensures excellent cutting performance.
The magnetic knife block: open, clear, safe
A knife block with narrow slots where you have to pry your knives in? That’s a thing of the past. This open wooden magnetic block holds your knives securely without the blades touching each other. You can see at a glance which knife you need, grab it in one smooth motion, and put it back just as easily after use. The magnets are strong enough to hold the knives securely, yet release them without hassle. The block also looks great on your countertop - a nod to stylish cooking without needing a word like "showpiece".
💡 Cookinglife Tip: When chopping and slicing, always keep the tip of the chef's knife resting on the cutting board and move only the back part up and down. This way, you cut faster, with less force, and remain fully in control - a technique that every home cook will naturally apply within a week.
Maintenance: how to keep your knives in top condition
- Wash the knives by hand - warm water and a mild dish soap, then dry immediately.
- Not dishwasher safe - heat and aggressive agents dull the edge and damage the handle.
- Clean immediately after acidic products - tomatoes, citrus, and vinegar can damage the steel; just rinse off.
- Use a wooden or plastic cutting board - glass, ceramics, or stone are the enemies of a sharp blade.
- Maintain the edge - regularly use a honing steel or sharpening stone; a sharp knife works safer and easier than a dull one.
