From WooDsom to Heirloom Products: The Next Chapter in Magnetic Knife Storage
For years, serious home cooks asked for WooDsom by name. Handcrafted wood, full-length super strong magnets, and a clean, wall-mounted profile made WooDsom the reference standard for magnetic knife storage. That legacy now continues at Heirloom Products, with the same purpose and a clear path for the future.
What Stayed the Same
- Core design: solid-wood board with a continuous magnet backbone for secure hold and zero “dead zones.”
- Function first: strong pull across the bar for chef knives, petty, and slicers without clashing handles.
- Made in the USA: domestic build and finishing for long service life in real kitchens.
How to Choose a Premium Magnetic Knife Board
Use a checklist before you buy:
- Magnet coverage: full-length magnets for uniform pull along blade spines and tangs.
- Wood + finish: durable domestic hardwoods with a food-safe finish that resists kitchen humidity.
- Mounting: solid hardware for drywall, tile, or wood; hidden fasteners; clear install guide.
- Blade spacing: depth from wall that fits larger handles without crowding.
Why This Transition Matters
WooDsom set the bar for strength and simplicity; Heirloom preserves that standard and adds the product to a wider selection of items for kitchen. For you, that means the look you want, the hold you trust and continued availability.

FAQs
Will my heavier chef’s knife slip?
With full-length neodymium coverage, chef and slicer profiles seat securely when placed spine-first, then rolled to contact.
Will magnets affect my knives?
No. Permanent magnets won’t demagnetize steel or change hardness. They simply hold the blade in place.
Block vs. magnetic board?
Magnetic boards free counter space and keep edges visible.
