Modular Knife Storage
Use & Care 101

An entirely new way to keep your knives safe, sharp, and organized.

An entirely new way to keep your knives safe, sharp, and organized.

Misen's Modular Knife Storage system is a set of simple pieces that snap together, holding your knives securely in place with the power of hidden magnets. Our system fits knives of all brands and all types, is simple to install, and can be customized to house knife collections of any size.

Setup Step 1

There are eight plastic films that can be peeled off from the bottom of the module. Start with removing two (one from each edge). Place the module on your storage surface and test by putting a knife in and pulling the knife out. The unit shouldn't move.

Depending on your surface and where you place it, you may want to remove more. (The feet use a non-permanent adhesive and are repositionable, but very sticky. Two may be all you need!)

Setup Step 2

To assemble, snap large modular pieces together at the base, and snap small modular pieces to either side of a large one. You can continue to add pieces until every one of your knives is protected!

Setup Step 3

Use the large modular pieces for blades 
6 to 10 inches in length. Use small modular pieces for blades less than 6 inches in length.

  • • Do not put modules in dishwasher or soak in water.

  • • Modules are intended to be installed on a flat horizontal surface. Do not attempt to install on a wall or in vertical orientation.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I clean my Knife Storage system?

Unlike wood knife storage, Misen Modular Knife Storage is safe to clean with water and soap. To clean, simply run pieces under warm water and use non-abrasive soaps and sponges. Let them air dry completely before returning knives to the pieces. And make sure not to submerge in water or soak for long periods of time.

Please note: Unfortunately, the pieces are not dishwasher safe. But you can hand wash without any issues!

Is the material unsafe or toxic?

Misen Modular Knife Storage is made from a highly-durable thermoplastic called ABS which is free of all PFAS. It's known for its long-term durability and strength and is found in loads of common household items.
