Magnetic knife bar?

[MJRW]

Any recommendations on a strong magnetic knife bar (under $20)? I just sent one back to Amazon because it was way too weak. I could tell, first pothole and everything would be on the floor.
Thanks.

I have been pleased with this, holding 6 knives and the sharpener.

Nice, but wow $36. I'd like to stay <$20.

MJRW, could it be that the items you tried might have a little SS in the composition?  Just wondering...

neodynium magnets embedded into a nice strip of wood?

Those magnets are super strong..less than 5 bux for 10 at harbor freight. Double that price at home depot but the HD ones are twice as thick and twice as strong.

I think you may have trouble finding a magnetic one that will hold your knives in transit.

We had one of these on the inside door of a galley cabinet, it’s  inexpensive and nothing ever fell out of it.

I just use the Neodymium magnets. but I have a trailer I would never do that in a van where in an accident the knifes could become airborne. highdesertranger

That's interesting. I'll have to take some measurement tomorrow. I doubt I have a space for something that large.

after buying stack upon stack of neo magnets I used fabric patching material and ironed my magnets onto my curtains.. (no can sew).

It worked great til I discovered that heat destroys the neodynium magnets.

I don't recall the temp at which that occurs.. but I saw warnings against using hot glue as that could damage them as well...

Just in case you were going to attach them in that manner... I used a ton of gorilla glue to put them to the curtains.

I keep my knives in hard plastic sleeves in a shoe box sized Sterilte container. Not as handy as hanging them on the wall, but it works for me.

A friend cut slots in his counter top, like in a knife block.

We hang the cutting board across the knives when we travel, it has handles and I put up hooks.

The Harbor Freight magnet bar works well. Several years of use and never had anyrhing fall off while driving.

Agree - I have several of them mounted in my trailer and they hold very well. I’ve even left a pistol on one while in transit with no problem.
