Mercer Culinary M30731BM 18" Bamboo Magnetic Knife Holder / Strip

Pro: Strong magnets (almost a little too strong), which will have no problem holding knives in places, including cleavers. Wood aesthetics. Wood also makes me less paranoid about accidentally chipping my knife, whether that’s actually true or not. Con: Unlike the metal magnetic bars, the magnet/attraction is not as uniform. In some areas, the knives tend to shift toward where the magnets are hidden. Not too big of a deal for me, but it does feel weird for the first few days.

I'm not happy with this magnetic knife holder. Contrary to other reviewers I found that it doesn't hold larger knives. This renders it partially useless.

These rubber wood magnetic knife holders are not that good. The magnet in them are not the strongest. With the knife on them with the handle down it doesn't feel secure. When we put the handle side up and let the handle catch on the edge of it, it is a lot better. Also it doesn't come with any hardware, no screws or anything. We had to go and find screws for it which wasn't as easy as it sounds. The cutouts in the back were very specific. But once we assembled everything and had everything in place it looks great. That's why it gets 3 stars.

A great looking knife holder for our kitchen. The magnet is strong and will hold very big knifes without issues. It attaches easy and is ready to use right when you get it hung up on the wall. Super simple way to keep knifes safe in the kitchen.

Most magnetic knife holders either look terrible or are too pricy, this is an amazing find. It looks incredible and is very fairly priced. As someone who used carbon-steel knives, they stick great to these magnets.

This magnetic knife strip has improved the efficiency in our kitchen. There is plenty of space for a variety of knives (currently using it for a chefs knife, serrated knife, paring knife, and kitchen scissors). The strip holds the knives well (no slipping) and provides great access for ease of use.

The item arrived severely damaged and was unusable.

Seems to be a well made product. The wood appearance looks nice. Installing to drywall was fast and easy, 2 drywall anchors, 2 screws, done. Magnet is reasonably strong, holds knives and utensils securely once placed on the magnet.

IT looks reasonably nice, though a bit duller than the product photo implies. I haven't had any issues with knives sliding - I attached 6 of varying sizes and they're all stable. My issue is that the mounting solution is very flimsy and in my case doesn't hold the strip tightly against the wall, so it pulls/wobbles every time I take a knife off or put one back on. Purchased a higher quality strip as a replacement - paid more but it works a lot better and looks even nicer.

looks great but very weak magnet. I had it installed in my office to display my Japanese knives (it could only handle 3 knives) since they are so light. It will not work for my heavier German and Swiss made knives. I would not buy it again.

After purchasing several similar products off another well known site and had to return, we decided to try this one. It is great. The magnetic strip is very strong and holds knives from end to end. If your on the market, this is the one you need.

I would highly recommend this magnetic knife holder. It has a nice rustic look, and it is very east to install and easy to clean.

This mercer culinary acacia magnetic knife holder / strip makes storing your knives easy! I love the wood finish and the fact that it can hold multiple size knives.

I love this magnetic knife strip, I use it to hold my chef knives by my prep station. Great safe place to organize knifes, easy to grab the one you need and to put them back.

This is a beautiful magnetic knife strip which offers an attractive display and storage solution for my knives. The wooden surface doesn't scratch the blades, and the magnets are strong enough to hold my knives securely.

These strips are a god send for a small kitchen. They look great hanging and they work excellently. I hot 4 of them and i have spoons knifes and all manner of kitchen stuff hanging for easy access.

This magnetic knife holder is awesome! It comes with mounting equipment (screws and the plastic housing) and very safely packaged. It is in a cardboard box and bubble wrap when i opened it. The grip strength of the magnet is also really nice; strong enough to hold up a butcher's cleaver, but not so strong that you can't easily pull knives off. The magnet is completely hidden within the wood and looks beautiful!

Well, these are inexpensive, so that is a plus. We ordered two, and regret it. The internal magnets are super powerful directly over each one, but there is little to no attractive force between each magnet; this renders these essentially pretty wimpy, limited and annoying in that our knives cannot just be placed anywhere along the face, but only over the little magnets. Even then, there is too little force, and we ended up placing the two strips together, one just above the other... and thus, our knives are supported by the simultaneous effort of twin strips. Also, one strip was assembled fairly poorly, with bamboo misaligned. Next time, we will try to buy better manufactured strips.

This looks so nice and expensive. We no longer use it for knives because we needed to have the blades covered. It is beautiful to use as a regular magnet strip for notes.

Great quality magnetic knife holder! The bamboo finish looks amazing and complements my kitchen cabinets perfectly - I enjoy it more than similar steel magnetic holders. Furthermore, since it's wood, you don't have to worry about your knives getting damaged when rubbing against another metal. The magnetic is strong and can hold several large knifes. The width (18") is ideal for moderately sized areas like above the sink. Installation is very easy, as there are two screws that are provided that you can hang the holder off of. Definitely recommend.

The Mercer 18" rubberwood magnetic knife holder has a very strong magnetic and it holds several knives. The installation is very easy and it comes with everything you need. It will look beautiful on your kitchen wall! Highly recommended!
