Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of MIU France Stainless Steel Magnetic Knife Holder, 20-Inches
Customer Review: Best for knives
Summary: 5 Stars
Ahh.. now I can bring out my best knives cuz I know I've got the best knife holder for them.. and a fantastic space saver too!!!! I wish I had gotten it sooner!!!Customer Review: Best quality magnetic strip I've seen.
Summary: 5 Stars
My knives are a crucial part of my kitchen and I want only the best for them, so I wanted to go with a magnetic strip.
Hiding your knives in a drawer is a shame, can be dangerous if they're just free floating in there, and can also dull them if they bang around with other items. Not good
Keeping knife blocks on your counter eats up counter space and is just bulky. Many times I have to guess which knife is in which slot too, and if I have knifes that don't fit in the block, or more knives...I end up with knives in the drawer or multiple blocks. Not good.
My knives are beautiful and I love having them displayed out in the open. It also makes for easy retrieval. I hung this strip up right up above where I work, so when I need to switch from my Chef's Knife to a Paring knife, I just reach up, grab the handle and there it is! Very easy, no having to fumble to open a drawer or guess which knife it is in the knife block.
Of all the magnetic strips I've seen, this one is the largest, heavy, durable, great styling, and has the best quality. My only want for it is to be bigger...although, if it were any longer, I would have a hard time finding a place to mount it, so I think just buying another one would be the way to go.
It doesn't have to just be for knives either. I have many steel items that I think would be perfect mounted on this strip. The possibilities are endless!
Bottom line, I would definitely recommend a magnetic strip as a way to store knives. I would definitely recommend this strip over the others if you care about quality and looks.
Customer Review: Better Than Expected
Summary: 5 Stars
We have limited counter space and I have been putting my knives in a utensil caddy. I bought a few wusthof knives that I did not want to damage them and my husband suggested getting a magnet like this one. My concern was that I tend to drop things and would this item hold up.
Well I'm more then happy with this item and can't believe it took me so long to get one. I read the reviews and this holds the knives so well and saves them and so convienent to get to. I would recommend this to anyone with limited counter space or just an easier way to get to your knives if you love to cook like me.
Customer Review: Buy it!
Summary: 5 Stars
I love this knife holder. First of all it is sanitary. Doesn't take counter space and IT LOOKS SO COOL on the wall.
I would buy it again without hasitation if I had to.

Summary: 3 Stars
For the price, the product is what you would expect--made in China, imperfect but will work for most consumers.
I have several complaints with the proudct. First, the magnet will not hold my stainless steel knives horizontally-only vertically. This is because any knife that is balanced will necessarily adhere to the magnet imbalanced (since you cannot mount it at its median point). Unfortunately, the magnet is not powerful enough to compensate for this imbalance, and the handle slid down (even with a paring knife), resulting in scratches to the blade and a dangerous instability. I have found that you must mount the blades vertically or, alternatively, upside down (underneath a shelf).
Secondly, the mounting screws (included) proved too long for my cabinetry. I had to improvise with shorter screws, although this worked out ok. Anchors were also included. There were two mounting holes. Installation was easy.
Thirdly, the magnet scratched awfully easy, and also scratches the knife. This may or not be a big deal for you. Some customers consider knives a work of art and should go with a bamboo block or knife case instead.
All in all, the product works ok, but there are better magnets out there (but cost more).
