I've wanted to do this too!
How far apart are they spaced? And roughly how many mm's do you reckon is in-between the magnet and the wood?

I'm not sure on spacing, maybe 50mm between centres I need to lay out a bunch of knives and experiment. The depth needs to be as close as you dare, 2-3mm from the face if possible, I'll use the depth stop on my pillar drill to get cute.
@edmundro really nice utility belt, are you a tree surgeon?

A combination of a couple online, I have some Forstner drill bits to sink the magnets in the back as opposed to routing a continuous hollow. I just checked my email and I spent goddam £60 on magnets so I must've thought I'd recoup when selling, idiot. https://www.first4magnets.com//circular-disc-rod-magnets-c34/20mm-dia-x-3mm-thick-n35-neodymium-magnet-3-6kg-pull-p6199#ps_1-6759/s6759
Each piece of that oak is 2' long though cause I've got too many knives that I refuse to chuck.
