Powerful & compact magnetic knife holders: knife strips, racks & bars

How does it work?

A magnetic knife strip, also called magnetic knife rack or knife wall magnet, is a magnet that usually contains a combination of ferrite or neodymium magnets, which creates a powerful magnetic field. Kitchen knives are attracted to these magnets because they often have blades made from ferromagnetic materials. When you place the blade of the knife against the magnetic strip, the knife will attach itself to the magnet. You attach the knives with the handles pointing upwards. This provides the best balance and makes it easier to grab the knives.

How to choose the best magnetic knife strip

You're looking to buy the best magnetic knife strip for your kitchen. There are many factors to keep in mind, such as the design of the magnet, how many knives will fit and the size of the strip itself.

When you're looking for a kitchen knife magnet, your number one question is probably whether the block's magnetism is strong enough to hold your knives. The magnetic knife strips you'll find at Knivesandtools are all powerful enough to store your knives. The knives will remain firmly in place once attached to the magnet. In addition, it's also important to consider the length of the magnetic knife strip. Are your knives suitable for a magnetic knife strip? When measuring, remember to calculate some space between knives on the magnet, so they don't touch each other. Also make sure to check whether the mounting option will work for the surface where you want to attach the magnetic knife strip (for example: wall, tiles or cabinet door). Of course, it's also nice to choose a magnetic knife strip that suits your kitchen in terms of style. Magnetic knife strips can be made from wood, stainless steel or plastic. A wooden strip will be the gentlest on your knives. Choose a material that suits your style, whether that is classic or modern, sleek or rustic.
