Summary: A solution to the biggest kitchen problem normal people face
Comment: Unless you have way more counter space than you know what to do with (and aren't you lucky if you do), or have empty drawer space and nothing to fill it with, this is the knife storage solution for you. Plus, your knives look much cooler on a magnet than in a block of wood, and you'll feel like a professional chef.It can be mounted wherever you have 17.5" of wall space. It holds knives firmly, but they will release with a slight tug. Knife blocks are overated. Get this instead.

Summary: You don't have to be a brain surgeon..
Comment: ..to wish you had a better way of keeping your kitchen scalpelsorganized.Seriously, I thought this bar would be just the thing to help me organize my too-small kitchen which is always strewn with knives, bottle openers, spatulae, whisks, and other kitchen implements. I also wanted something to keep my sharp knives away from my hands so that I could reach for things on the counter without worrying about stabbing myself. This magnetic strip fits the bill perfectly. I was worried at first that it wouldn't be a strong enough magnet to hold my chef's knife, but it is. The knife is held very securely and forms a tight magnetic "seal" that breaks when you twist the knife away from it. If you bump the knife, it just rotates on the magnet - you'd have to be a real klutz to whack it hard enough to knock it off by accident. ... I was also worried that the metal magnet would nick my knife edges. That's not a problem as long as you're careful how you put the knife on (back edge first). I recommend this product without any reservations.

Summary: Security
Comment: I purchased TWO of these, because I wanted the extra security of a stronger magnet, but now I can't even get the knives off without impaling myself, so when I need to chop an onion I just throw it at the magnet a couple times.

Summary: Excellent for hanging metal utensils without holes!
Comment: I have very little space in my kitchen for storing kitchen utensils which are mostly metal with no holes - so the magnetic knife holder is just perfect! I don't hang sharp knives - I hang large metal spoons, small graters, wok spatulas, etc. I just wish it were available in a 11 or 12 inch length!

Summary: Don't try this at home....
Comment: How sharp a knife do you really want to hang from a magnet bar? It is almost tautologous that this is a bad idea. If you can get the knife off the magnet bar with reasonable force, it's really not on securely enough. It's surprising for Henckels to sell such a silly gadget...
