Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Chicago Cutlery 1063947 Magnetic Knife Storage Strip
Customer Review: Good magnet, Fair mounting system.
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a very good magnet once you have it installed properly. The problem is that it doesn't come with a template or instructions with the distance between mounting holes. This is easily remedied if you are mechanically inclined, but is not very fair to most everyone else. Additionally, the screws and anchors are not suitable for many kinds of walls, but again easily remedied at your local hardware store. I suggest holding the unit (with the tabs in place) at your desired mounting location and drawing a pencil line at each end flush against the mounting tabs. Then remove the tabs, hold them up to your pencil lines and mark your holes for drilling. Install anchors or drill into studs and adjust the screws so that the tabs slide on snugly. If they are too lose, you risk having the unit slide off the mounts. For extra security, install one tab and tighten the screw so that the tab stays in place and cannot be slid. This end will be your more secure end, so keep in mind that if the unit DOES slip, it will likely slide away from this end. Install the magnet onto this mounting tab and slide the other tab into place. Check for tightness and adjust screw as necessary. I recommend removing your knives by twisting the handle so that the blade comes of the magnet first. This will preserve your edges.
I like this holder, but the omission of installation instructions and/or a template, and the fact that it might be a safety hazard if installed incorrectly, keeps me from giving it 5 stars.
