Magnets for kitchen knives

Neodymium Magnets are one of the most useful inventions of mankind. With their help, interesting games and puzzles for children and adults were created. However, their main function is practical. Magnets are used to create devices that are in demand in everyday life and industry. If you buy a magnetic knife holder, you can significantly simplify the process of cooking.

What are the benefits of magnets for knives in the kitchen

Let's consider the main advantages of such devices.

• Saving space on the table - the product is installed on the wall. Many people think that it is impossible to attach this product without using a drill and dowels, but this is not true. The device can be attached using liquid nails. It will hold well, and the glue can be easily cleaned.

• Convenience of use with this storage option - you do not have to take items out of drawers or try to reach the container with your hand. When using such wall-mounted kitchen devices, knives are always nearby.

• Ventilation – cutlery on such a stand is constantly in contact with fresh air, therefore it does not rust, and bacteria do not appear on its surface.

• Versatility – the magnetic knife stand can be used for other kitchen utensils. Housewives hang ladles and scissors on them.

Types of Magnetic Knife Holders

If you try to classify magnetic holders, it immediately becomes clear that there are no clearly defined varieties, and division is possible by material and length.

• In terms of length, there may be a range of 300-600 millimeters - this applies to branded products. When buying, it is important to take this into account, since it affects the number of knives placed on the stand.

• As for the material, we need to dwell on it in detail, since this factor affects a number of product qualities. Today, the holder body can be made of plastic, wood or metal. Plastic models are cheaper and less durable.

• Wooden counterparts are attractive in appearance, but cannot support heavy objects such as meat cleavers.

• Metal holders can be used to store heavy items. The best option is a metal holder.

Magnetic stripe

Most often, the magnetic strip is made of aluminum. The products provide convenient storage of kitchen utensils made of metal. Reliable strips can effectively hold even heavy objects. You can even hang drills and repair tools on them. The kit usually includes fasteners, thanks to which the holder can be easily attached to the walls.

Magnetic knife board for wall

The main highlight of the magnetic board is that such a holder is ideal for steel blades. It also has a number of other advantages:

• can be placed on any surface using self-tapping screws or special glue;

• practicality, since the blades hang rather than taking up space on the table;

• safety, as children will not be able to reach high-hanging cutlery;

• The blades remain sharp because their edges do not touch each other.

Blades on such a stand are not subject to corrosion, since they should be hung after being previously dried with a towel. When storing cutlery in a poorly ventilated box, the quality of the blades may deteriorate due to high humidity.

Magnetic hanger

The main purpose of using a magnetic hanger is convenient and high-quality vertical storage of items of different sizes and shapes. The bar helps save kitchen space and guarantees quick access to cutlery.

Knives can be attached to such a holder without wiping. The blades will dry quickly and remain sharp. The holder can be easily washed, and harmful bacteria do not appear on its surface.

An important advantage of the magnetic plate for knives is that it saves space. It is enough to fix the device on the wall to free up table space from stands.

The aesthetics of a wooden magnetic knife holder

A wooden stand is the best option for storing small knives, and it looks elegant and original in any interior style. Such items will suit kitchen furniture made of natural wood or its imitation. Since holders are traditionally full-fledged elements of kitchen decor, they will ideally fit into the overall entourage with their appearance and will support the overall style.
