Magnetic Tape Magnet Strips, New Adhesive Backing for Walls, Boards, Crafts, Storage, DIY, Home, Garage and Displays 32mm Wide 5 Pack

Product Information

This holder is designed to hold knives in two different ways. There are slots through the holder for blades to slip through internally, while the front is magnetic to hold another layer of knives externally. In theory, it will hold twice as many knives depending on how they are arranged. If there aren’t that many knives to be hung, the magnets can also hold metal spice tins, scissors, and other kitchen items. Magnet Strength: We noted whether we were able to hang a variety of different instruments, like smaller kitchen shears and heavier cleaver knives. During the testing period, we looked at how long the knives stayed put on the magnetic strip, removing and replacing them often. It's important to measure your space before choosing a knife holder: We looked at different options that made it easy to choose the one that would fit your space and knife collection best. Extra points were awarded to customizable knife holders that were available in several sizes and lengths. Safety features are non-negotiable: Since you can never be too safe when it comes to knives, we asked ourselves if it felt safe and secure while removing and replacing items on the holders multiple times. We also looked for additional features like plastic caps covering the screws and rounded corners. It does have nooks and crannies that will get dirty if food splashes on it. We found it easier to clean with a lint-free damp towel to get any food splashes off and used a tiny brush to get into the crevices. The magnets are super strong and will last a long time, but the board itself needs careful handling. The thinner edges could break if the board were to be dropped accidentally.

Overall, the knife holder is built well with a simple design that's a great value for the price. We expect it to last a long time. Ease of Installation: We looked for knife holders that required simple tools for installation, such as a basic drill and a screwdriver. Likewise, we highlighted products that came with simple instructions available in print and on video. Certain materials are easier to clean: Depending on where you install your knife holders, they may be susceptible to messes from grease splatters or dust build-up. Different surfaces, like stainless steel, can be easier to wipe down and sanitize if necessary. We splashed tomato sauce on the knife holders and used a microfiber towel to clean the surface and get into small indentations to assess the ease of cleaning. In our tests, the 32-inch version held about 13 tools: two shears, a micro plane grater, three chef’s knives, three utility knives, a boning knife, a sharpening steel, a bread knife, and a honing steel. There were absolutely no dead zones. The magnets are powerful and provide a secure space for all the knives without slipping or sliding. We were able to put the knives pointy-side-down and up with no difference whatsoever in stability.The magnetic holder is available in 16-, 20-, and 32-inch lengths, so you can choose the one that will fit your space best and hold all of your favorite knives, shears, and other handy kitchen tools. A good magnetic knife holder should be easy to mount and install on the wall but also strong enough to keep your knives safe and secure. They come in various designs and sizes, so the right model will largely depend on the style and size of your kitchen.

Very practical: Compared to cork walls or scotch tape, our metal rails for magnets do not leave any signs of use on the substrate. These also impress with their small size. This also makes them ideal for rooms with little space. How do our self-adhesive metal strips work? The 18-inch bar was able to hold a cleaver, two chef’s knives, a bread knife, two utility knives, and shears. There was plenty of space among the knives to hold everything. The knives held securely during testing without sliding or moving, even when the heavy cleaver was removed. In testing this magnetic knife holder, we discovered that every time we removed a knife, the whole metal strip wobbled, which was especially visible with larger knives. That was because of the design of the strip. There is a notch in the magnetic strip over which the metal strip gets mounted flush. The wooDsom Customized Magnetic Knife Strip is our top choice because of its design and quality and the fact that you have so many options when it comes to size and material. For a budget-conscious option, go with the Ouddy 16-Inch Magnetic Knife Holder. It has a beautiful stainless steel finish and holds knives securely. How We TestedDurability: Every time we removed a knife, we noticed whether the metal strip wobbled or felt otherwise unstable with both small and large knives. We also focused on sturdy, long-lasting materials like stainless steel and hardwood.

Renu Dhar, a professional chef and food writer, tested every item on this list and updated the roundup with her insights. Our metal strips for magnets as well as metal and ferro soft tapes replace conventional glue, hammers and nails, drills, and other tools that you use to attach office items, pictures, household items, etc. With its need and multiple applications, self adhesive magnetic tape roll is being made and sold by many companies. But most of them do not work well due to the following reasons: Another thing to note is that although the magnet is strong, placing the knives tip-side-down came with some challenges. The only way to ensure that the knives were safely mounted on the strip was by holding the knives flush with the strip and bringing them all the way down so the bolster was touching the top of the strip. Still, this tiny knife holder gets the job done and holds about six knives and kitchen shears, including a large cleaver.Wiping down spills and grease was easy. There are nooks on this board, but they are easy to clean as well. We think this board will last a long time. A countertop magnetic knife stand comes in handy for those of us that don’t want to (or can't) get out a drill. Though only 9.5 x 9.5 inches, we love that The Stand by Material Kitchen is a sleek, efficient way to safely hold up to eight knives, four on each side.
