I want to take a strip of oak and rout holes in it for quarter sized rare

What is a good glue to use to hold these magnets in there? *If they fall
out, no biggie to re-glue.

But I'm a do it once kind of guy.

Quarter-sized rare earth magnets? You must have some hatchets for
kitchen tools!.

I know rare earth magnets have a nickel coating, or similar, and I
believe some of the rare earths ain't too good for you. Probably not
a problem, but have you thought about recessing the magnets inside the
back of a wood strip so they won't actually touch the blades at all?
If the wood gets nicked, you could just sand it out and you wouldn't
have to worry about the magnets getting damaged or gluing them in.
