Got a small kitchen, little free countertop space & not enough drawers? An affordable & popular project for knife storage is building your own wall mounted magnetic knife holder. This 12.5x5mm (~1/2x3/16”) neodymium boron disc magnet can hold nearly 9 pounds & can be used in any number of applications.
Not just for knives or kitchens. Styles vary greatly in design & cost but you can build a custom version at a fraction of the cost. Magnetic knife holders are a great way to organize & securely store your whisks, ladles, work tools, art supplies & keys according to functionality. Size it to fit any nook ;& cranny in the kitchen, garage, tool room or craft areas.
Picking the right magnet size & strength is a matter of desired thickness & distance between the embedded magnet & front surface of the knife rack. Check the specifications table below for holding force vs distance. If the remaining wood is only 1mm thick, this magnet can hold over 6 pounds. A thicker magnet like the 12.5x7.5 {link] can hold 8.2lbs through the same wood thickness. You can mix magnet thicknesses or diameters to match different sized knives.
We have sold NdFeB magnets since 1996 and N42 grade since 2003, the best value for strength & temperature vs cost. Don't be fooled by claims of higher strength, N52, at lower cost.
