Multipurpose Kitchen Shears with 5 Stainless Steel Blades and Cleaning Comb (Green)

I got three of these and my get one more, that's how much I like this knife rack. The magnets are very strong so no worries at all about a knife sliding off by accident. They look fantastic, it's really nice wood. If you have wood in your kitchen, this is by far the best way to store your knives for both looks and function. I don't like the blocks that hide the blades so you don't know what knife your pick out until you pull it out and I don't like giving up valuable counter top space for knives, you don't need to, just get one or two of these and you'll be set. This is by far the safest way to store your sharp blades if you want to keep them sharp. Nothing touches the edges and that is as good as storage gets. Just make sure if you have really sharp knives, witch you should, that you always treat them like a loaded gun, pay attention to what you're doing when you grab for one, or put it back. Don't get lazy because rushing with a heavy sharp blade can do a lot of damage. Pay attention always to what you're doing when handling sharp tools, you'll be glad you did. Anyway, these knife racks are better than I expected them to be. They are worth the price.

We purchased this to hold our most frequently used knives (chef knives, paring knives). After seeing mixed reviews for cheaper alternatives I decided to go with this highly-rated product. WOW are we impressed. Comes well-packaged and with mounting hardware along with easily understandable instructions (in proper English, nonetheless!). It took me about 5 minutes to install. Looks great, has strong and consistent magnetic strength that does not push/pull/rotate knives from wherever we place them. Importantly, the solid wood outside means no scratches to our nice knives. We hang the knives while still wet and they quickly dry on this hanger. I plan to buy a second one soon. Worth every penny!

I bought two and mounted them on my tile backsplash using Scotch 414/DC Extreme Mounting Tape, 1 by 60-Inch, Black . They look gorgeous and function well; I'm very pleased. HOWEVER, the powerful magnetic field was too much for the small electronic brain of my oven just below them. Its clock lost hours of time each day so that it was always showing the wrong time and then after a few days the electronic control for my oven refused to operate, showing only a cryptic error code. To fix this I had to unplug the oven, move it two inches away from the knife holders, and plug it back in again. As long as I keep it an extra two inches away from the holders (i.e., the wall), my oven works. To me this minor inconvenience is worth the value I'm getting from these great holders.

looks nice and strong magnet but isntthat stable on the wall. moves and wiggles every time pulling a knife from on it. would be nicer if it had more screws on the back.

The thing I noticed about this holder is that the magnets have different strengths depending upon the location of the knives. The strongest magnets are in the center, and become weaker towards the ends. So you will have to place your knives accordingly. Also remember 12" is not a lot of room to place many knives, I have placed four knives on mine, 6 1/2-7 1/2 chefs knives, and two paring knives, and it seem to handle them fine, with the heaver knives in the middle, with adequate space between all of them to get my hands on them to remove them. Of course the size, and weight of your knives would change all this, so you will want to think about that as you will be somewhat limited for space? If your intention is to store a lot of knives you will need to order two of these. It does mount easy, and with little effort, but be "sure" it is secure, as you do not want your knives crashing to the floor!! I cannot say I would buy it again, but that has more to do with the length of it, and not the quality as it is nice and well made!

OK, so I'm updating my review, changing from 1 star to 5 stars. After I sent it back, the owner of the company emailed me to ask why. I told him the magnets didn't hold and the knives fall off (see my original review below). He said it was a faulty unit, and he'd send me a different one. He then sent a photo of the new knife holder he was going to send me with a 2 pound wood plane hanging from it. When the knife holder arrived, I tested it and it was definitely much stronger! I now have it mounted with almost too many knives on it. I plan to order one, possibly two more. The quality of the holder is good, but the most impressive is the owner's attitude and approach. Very commendable. ***I wanted this magnetic knife holder to match our cherry kitchen cabinets. However, when I put a knife on it, the knife immediately started sliding down and fell off. That happened with all the knives i put on except for a small paring knife. While the idea of a wood knife holder is very appealing, it seems that the magnet isn't strong enough under or inside the wood.

Really, FIVE stars! This is a beautiful addition to our kitchen. So Functional! It was an easy way to store our knives we use on a daily basis making it easy to reach for, and just arms distance from the cutting block. The smooth wood keeps knives from getting scratches and it just looks sharp. The knives are very secure in place and do not slip. The color options work perfectly as the colors shown were true to the color we needed. A little assembly skill required but pretty simple. This product comes with a couple of mounting hardware options.

This is a great way to store my knives! The magnet is really strong, so you kind of have to get used to it so you don't slam the knife down and ding it or the wood. I'm always worried because guests or my girlfriend can't seem to get the hang of it. I hear a loud SLAM as the knife snaps to the wood. You have to lay the knife against the top edge of the wood, then rotate it down to make sure you have control of it the whole way. My girlfriend goes straight in, or lays the blunt side of the knife flush against the wood and lets it flip sideways like a door closing.
