 Poor Mounting SystemMay 01, 2005
By Phx Reader
I purchased one of these at a local kitchen store. To mount it to the wall you must remove the endcaps and anchor one of them to the wall. You must then place an anchor on the other side and slide the endcaps together. This is not only difficult to do but makes it almost impossible to get a secure fit. This product is very poorly designed. I returned it for a refund.

 Ditch the Block, Go Magnetic!Nov 12, 2007
By Amozarte
First I have to take a moment to say why you want a magnetic knife holder and why you definitely don't want a block. In a word: hygiene.
Dirt, moisture, and other undesirable elements creep into those cozy crevices in your knife block. This makes your knives unsanitary and can even damage the blades by promoting rust or other corrosion. In addition, as another reviewer so aptly pointed out, running your blades into and out of the block slots will invariably wear out the edge.
With a magnetic strip, you can avoid all of the issues of the block while also showcasing the beautiful blades you love so much. A mag strip filled with glimmering steel is truly a sight to behold!
Now, let's talk about this strip specifically...
First and foremost, the magnet strength is perfect. The knives are firmly held to the strip with zero chance of falling or coming off by accident. On the other hand, removing the blade requires minimal effort on your part. You needn't be the least bit concerned about bending or breaking your blade as the strip will release it to you easily upon request.
A quick word about installation: it's tricky. As another reviewer mentioned, to install the strip you must remove the two black end caps, screw them to the wall and then slide the caps back into the strip while holding the strip to the wall. I agree wholeheartedly that the mounting method could have been designed a lot better, but I am not all that mechanically inclined and I managed to get a nice firm mounting in about 10-15 minutes of total installation time. (If you're mounting to drywall make absolutely sure you use anchors!)
In the six months or so I've had it installed I haven't once encountered any wiggling, wobbling, or loose fit- the thing holds to the wall extremely well.
If I had to buy again, I would probably look for something with easier installation but I am nonetheless happy with the one I own.

 Looks great - works greatApr 05, 2010
By Nathan R. Barry
I put this on the side of my cabinet above my sink and it looks great and is quite functional. It keeps my knives clean and sharp, and looks really sleek. I was unable to find anything else that looked good which was short enough for the side of an upper cabinet.
Longer than statedSep 03, 2011
By Susan Hinsman
With the plastic end caps on this magnetic knife holder it is longer than 12 inches - which was too long for my cabinet. I hung it at an angle to make it fit and it works. Thanks to other reviews concerning the difficulty hanging it - I did not have a problem once I worked it out. The magnets are very strong and hold my knives, a small pair of scissors and a bottle opener. I love how handy it makes getting things I need frequently rather than rummaging through drawers.
Don't be scared off by installation!Mar 20, 2008
By Avid Reader

A little careful measuring and this knife rack installs easily and quickly. I like this design in particular because it conceals the screws which makes for a better look. I'm very pleased with the look and the convenience. No more knife blocks for me.
