SKU: 44204-5
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.
