Magnetic Knife Block, 12.5*9-In Universal Knife Holder

Beautiful piece! Holds knives, even SHORT knives, VERY well. Double sided. It's so sleek and looks so much better than our clunky block. I would absolutely buy again, and would definitely recommend this to folks who want to ditch the block. I bought this one specifically b/c it touts the three strips of magnets. Obviously I cannot see inside to know if its true, but it really does hold short knives very well, so I feel like the hype pays off =)

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, this magnetic knife block. It is such a space saver! No worrying about bending tips in a regular knife block. Only one block to hold everything.

We had bought another magnetic block. Decided that one was too small after using a couple of weeks, so bought this one. It is so much nicer than the other one. much better magnet and general design.

This is my third attempt at getting a magnetic knife block. The first one looked far uglier in person than the product listing and also shipped with a big crack I didn’t notice until I had tossed the packaging. The second was similar to this one but failed on two dimensions. First, the block was only 5/8” wide which made it useless for filling both sides as the handles would knock against each other pushing the knives loose. This was made worse by the magnets being too weak/poorly located to secure smaller knives. This block addresses all of these previous failings. First off, it looks great. Good proportions and nice looking wood. Second, the 1” thickness lets me load up both sides of the block without the handles interfering with each other. Finally, it not only holds my smaller knives there is still magnetic strength to hold my shears in the same space. You can see all of this in the pics I’ve attached. The block came well packaged and even included a screwdriver for assembly. One tip is to use the foam packaging to support the block in a vertical position while you attach the base. Overall, this is a great block that meets my needs perfectly. I hope it lasts!

At first I was skeptical about the quality due to the reviews. It must be a mixed bag. I think I got a good one. The quality is pretty good for the price. It's not out of this world but still very nice. The hardware that comes with the kit is absolutely garbage. One screw came bent in three different directions and the screwdriver is just a waste of plastic. So be prepared to get yourself 3 decent wood screws from your garage. And properly drill pilot holes into the knife block so you don't split any wood. The knife block itself is heavy and the magnets are pretty strong. Holds an 8-in chef's knife with no problem, it doesn't tip. It has nice rubber feet and should last a while in good condition. It being wood, I would make sure your cutlery is absolutely dry before storing your knives as laminated wood does not like water. Other reviewers complained about splitting over time. I have a feeling that water is involved. But we will see. This is just a short-term review. But overall pleased. Lastly, I was in the market for a magnetic knife block that wasn't too tall as I have low hanging cabinets because of my raised countertops. So this height about 8 in and 15 in wide is good for a set of 12 knives plus shears without overcrowding.

What a great invention! It not only looks good on the counter, takes up less space than a large block and I can get more types of knives on it. The magnet is strong and can hold the heavy chef's knife. It was easy to put together. And I can keep it much cleaner than I ever could the block.

I didn't know these existed, until my daughter-in-law got one. It's great to have all the knives out on the counter, instead of in the drawer. This is also safer than just a magnetic steel strip, because the entire blade is attached to the wood. The block is made well, keeps your knives safe from little hands yet accessible.

This knife board is well made sturdy and heavy. It's a great edition to a small counter space. The acadia wood is gorgeous the magnets in the wood are super strong and the knifes stick quickly, there are no gaps in the way the magnets are positioning so the knives stay put where ever you put it! The shipping arrived within a reasonable amount of time and had no issues with the packaging or any of the pieces. This was a solid buy and highly recommend!

Works perfectly!, exactly what I was looking for!! very strong magnetic holder..knives aren't going anywhere!. I like how its double sided also for extra storage. Mine is currently holding 12 assorted size knives..Beats the old traditional knife blocks anyday.

I am a very frugal purchaser, and spent a lot of time to find just the right priced, great quality knife board and this is it! I graduated from a knife block and will never go back. It's slim line allows it to almost hide in my kitchen until needed, unlike a bulky knife block, mine sits beside my microwave, so the space left between the knife board and the microwave is more than sufficient to prevent a blocking of airflow (for those that might wonder) The magnets inside this board are strong and works on both sides of the block so you reclaim a LOT of your kitchen real estate that can be better used for other things and it fits a LOT of knives. I also have my knife sharpener and a pair of scissors that I use with it and it holds more knives that my knife block ever did and I have the convenience of where I want my knives placed versus having to slip them into specific slots. CON: You need to assemble the board, and while it's easy, you will need to be carefully to completely screw the scews into the board which is just a little awkward at first, but as you're only going to do it once or twice in the it's lifetime is not a big deal, and I'm pretty sure they all come needing to be assembled. Not exaggerating when I say having this product has impacted my cooking life for the better!

I just received this and am very satisfied. There have been some complaints here so let me weigh in: 1) Appears great quality. No cracks. Solid base with non-slip rubber. 2) Magnets strong enough, but easy to remove knives. Just twist wider knives so you're only pulling off from the spine. 3) I really appreciated the little touch of including a screwdriver. Easy to put together. 4) Too early to see if the blades scratch the wood surface. Crossing my fingers. All in all, a great purchase so far. Only quibble is it could be higher than 9 inches to accommodate longer blades. But longer knives still fit in, but the handle protrudes a bit more.

Works very well, safe space and looks great

Great knife block that looks stylish on the counter and is easy to fit multiple types and sizes of knives on it. Can use both sides of the block so fits more than a typical block. I was worried it would be difficult to remove the knives for use but just twist the handle of the one you want and pull it off for use…easy!
