Culinary Magnetism: Full Windsor MagKnives Dual Magnetic Cutting Board and Knife Set

There is a specific kind of heartbreak associated with campsite cooking that every outdoor enthusiast knows all too well. You have spent hours driving to the perfect secluded spot, you have sourced the finest ribeye steaks or fresh vegetables, and you have got the fire roaring to the perfect ember glow.

Then, you reach into your storage bin and pull out a flimsy, warped plastic cutting board and a dull, dangerous folding knife that struggles to cut through a tomato, let alone a root vegetable. It is a jarring disconnect between the adventure you imagined and the reality of prep work in the wild.

Thankfully, the team at Full Windsor has spent the last two years developing a cure for this culinary ailment, and it comes in the form of the MagKnives Dual Magnetic Cutting Board and Knife Set.

Designed specifically for the rigours of overlanding, van life, and serious backyard BBQ sessions, this kit creates a dedicated prep station that packs away into a single, rattle-free unit. The genius lies in the magnetic lock system. Instead of tossing loose blades into a tub and hoping you don’t slice your hand open later, the MagKnives system sandwiches two high-performance knives between two premium cutting boards.

Strong magnets ensure everything snaps together with a satisfying solidity, keeping the blades protected for transport and your camp kitchen highly organized. It is a “grab and go” solution that feels substantial in the hand and looks incredible on a picnic table.

The knives themselves are a far cry from the standard camping fare. Full Windsor has opted for high-grade 1.4116 German stainless steel, hardened to 56 HRC. They chose stainless over high carbon specifically for its corrosion resistance and low maintenance—vital traits when you are miles away from a climate-controlled kitchen.

Both the Chef’s knife and the Utility knife feature a full tang construction, meaning the metal extends all the way through the handle for superior strength and balance.

The Chef’s knife is your workhorse, balanced and powerful enough for heavy chopping, while the Utility knife draws inspiration from the Japanese “petty” knife, offering nimble precision for detailed slicing.

Sustainability and health are also at the forefront of the design. We are becoming increasingly aware of the dangers of micro-plastics shedding from cheap cutting mats into our food. To combat this, MagKnives utilizes naturally antibacterial materials.

One board is crafted from sustainable FSC-certified Beech wood, while the other is made from an eco-friendly wood fiber composite. Beech is particularly clever for this application; its tight grain draws in moisture and bacteria, where natural tannins work to kill off pathogens like E. coli much faster than plastic surfaces ever could.

The wood fiber composite is heat-pressed for extreme durability, resisting the warping and cracking that often plagues wooden gear exposed to the elements.

Priced at $385, this is undeniably a premium addition to your loadout, but it is one that respects the ritual of cooking. It transforms the act of chopping onions by a campfire from a chore into a genuine pleasure.

Whether you are slicing limes for a round of drinks at the cabin or prepping a full meal off the tailgate of a Land Rover, the MagKnives set provides the stability, sharpness, and hygiene of a home kitchen in a package designed to travel anywhere. It is rugged, refined, and built to ensure that your outdoor meals are as memorable as the locations you eat them in.
