If you read the reviews, you'll notice that most people (or maybe no one) paid $70 for this magnet. I wouldn't even consider it at that price. But for less than $10, it's a great deal, and solves a big problem. That is having sharp knives in a drawer ready to cut you, or getting dull rubbing each other.

The magnet is strong enough to support large knives. It looks good. And mounts relatively easily with the 2 included screws.

Free shipping from Amazon clinches the deal. If you don't have one, the next time the discount comes along, grab one. I don't think you'll be disappointed.

I'm completely satisfied with this purchase.

Just received this and it's a godsend. Mounted it inside a kitchen cabinet door and it effortlessly holds all our Henkel knives that were previously cluttering up our counter top in their bulky knife blocks. Magnet is extretmely strong and holds our biggest knives, sharpening awl, and kitchen shears with ease. Our knives are handy, clean, and neat and the beautifully finished magnetic bar adds a custom built-in look to even the inside of our cabinets.

I had an Ikea brand kitchen knife magnet and have been a bit disappointed in it, as the magnets are spaced on the back of the rack--and force your knives into spots that you might not like them to be, at times causing them to rub together or be far apart, creating an uneven spacing...

This rack, on the other hand, is awesome! It is shorter (that part is too bad--and the reason I only put 4 stars) than my previous version, but because it is an evenly magnetized bar, I can put my knives anywhere, and it holds all of the knives I had on my 21" bar from Ikea.

It is very strong--I use Wusthof knives--and have 2 large chef knives, a long bread knife, sandwich knife, tomato knife, 2 all purpose knives, 2 paring knives, and a bird beak knife--all on there securely and safely. I could even add a couple more small ones (or one large) as long as I am careful not to let them touch.

These magnetic racks keep your blades sharp (no wooden block to dull them) and stored safely (no reaching into the drawer).

The finish is nice--very modern and easy to clean. The installation took minutes.

I wish I had the opportunity to buy more of these at the lightening deal price (9.99) but I must say that at the higher price, it's still not a bad deal. I paid 30 for the Ikea one that looked "okay" (it had exposed screws, where this one has the screws hidden)... and expecting that this is going to be a permenant fixture in the kitchen, the regular Amazon price isn't too bad.

Great Knife Storage. I got rid of the old block of wood that was holding my knives, 11 in all, and replaced it with this magnet. I got it as a gold box special for $9.99, excellent value for that price.

This is a great alternative for cutlery storage. Magnet is powerful enough to hold even a small ax :)

Very strong knife magnet.Simple and clean looking.I acquired it during a Gold Box deal so the value ($9.99) was unbeatable.It will easily accommodate a full knife block as well as a steak knife set as long as your steak knives are not over sized.Would definitely buy another set for the cabin since we have so little counter space.

This was a great buy, and I love it! Easy to put up, strong magnet, and best of all - no more knife block on my small apartment kitchen counters!

I love this knife bar. It's a great space saver, allowing me to get my cumbersome knife block off my counter. While very utilitarian it is also very attractive. The magnet is even strong enough to hold my kitchen scissors. Mounting it was a little confusing at first but I did manage to figure it out without too much difficulty. I am very satisfied with this product.

Not sure what everyone is whinging about. This is well worth the money. I purchased a similar magnet for my screwdrivers. The one I purchased from a tool department from the local hardware store cost about $20 dollars. THAT one was only 10 inches long, and the magnetism was not as strong. This one is much longer and well built. I can fit all my knives and some of my metal serving spoons on the wall. A great solution for those who currently keep their knives in a drawer. No more sliced fingers! Out of the way for children! Very convenient!!

I bought this because I thought it would be worth it to get the knife block off of the counter. But, on second thought, I've decided to use it on the workbench assembly (ASIN: B00006RGKY) I just bought for screwdrivers.

I would say that it's easy to dent. I received mine with a small dent on the top, then managed to put another dent in it since. The perforated surface is a double edged sword, but attractive nonetheless. And it's very strong. Its strength makes me wonder if it's safe for the blade edges of my knives. I've feared banging a knife against it and chipping, which is why I decided to use it in my shop instead.
