Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of MIU France Stainless Steel Magnetic Knife Holder, 20-Inches
Customer Review: Easy to install too
Summary: 5 Stars
Excellent quality. I bought two so I could get rid of the large knife block that was taking up valuable counter space.
Very easy to install. At each end are black plastic half-moon-shaped inserts. They slide out easily to reveal a bracket underneath. Two screws & plastic wallboard inserts are included. All I needed to install was a Phillips screwdriver, a nail, and a hammer. Was too lazy to get the drill out so I just hammered a nail into the wall. Nail was slightly smaller than the diameter of the plastic insert. Pull out the nail, push the insert in, screw in the holder, then slide the black plastic half-moons back in to cover up the brackets/screws and the little mess I made of the wallpaper there. Easy, strong, and secure.
And it looks cool. Shiny stainless, very contemporary design.
Customer Review: Excellent Product - Questionable Mounting Hardware
Summary: 4 Stars
I'm really impressed by both the power of the magnet and the size of the unit. It's perfect. It's attractive, and it holds all my important knives up on the wall. Totally cool, exactly what I imagined. Except for one thing: the mounting hardware that comes with it is plastic anchors and screws. I don't know about you, but I wasn't thrilled with the prospect of five or six pounds worth of highly sharpened steel being supported solely by plastic anchors. It seems pretty self-evident to me that the amount of effort it takes to pull the knives off the magnet would inevitably lead to the anchors being pulled out, even if the weight of the knives wouldn't be enough to do so. Long story short, I hung mine using toggle bolts. That bad chicken isn't going ANYWHERE now. I would suggest that anyone who hangs this thing do the same.Customer Review: Great space saver and fantastic display
Summary: 5 Stars
This is by far one of the most functional and beautiful items in my kitchen. I don't have a lot of counter space, so was looking for an alternative to a knife block. Keeping knives in the drawer is a bad option, as not only it dulls and scratches these precious tools, but also a hazard for roaming hands.
This magnetic strip is a perfect solution. It's of very high quality, but the only drawback it has is that steel furnish is rather thin and very glossy, so after some use scratches on surface will become more-less noticeable. But having said that, it's great still! Magnets are very strong, mounting the strip was easy and simple, and it's very durable and reliable.
A welcome addition to my kitchen that brings me joy in looks and function every day. A must have!
Customer Review: Always wanted one!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have wanted this wall-mounted knife holder since the late 70's when "Julia Child" was doing her cooking shows on my local PBS. I could always see the "knife holder" in the background of her kitchen on the wall and wanted one immediately! Well, I've waited many "years" since then to find one and finally took the plunge! It works WONDERFULLY and holds my most favorite knives! It's GREAT to have a place to store my knives where they are in easy reach for use and yet out-of-the-way when not being used. It's also a good way to store knives so you don't get "cut" when rumaging around in a kitchen drawer; it also keeps your knives from getting "nicked" and "scratched". Just a SUPERIOR PRODUCT! I would recommend it to anyone! Buon Appetit! :0)Customer Review: GREAT MAGNETIC KNIFE HOLDER
Summary: 5 Stars
This is THE knife holder to own. I had another magnetic knife holder but it wasn't large enough to hold the knives and tools I use most often. I picked it because I could paint the wood to match my kitchen. Because of it's stainless steel finish, this MIU holder will also work with ANY decore and "this" MIU Stainless-Steel Magnetic Knife Holder IS large enough to do the job AND leave enough room between knives that it is safe to use!
I have a relatively small kitchen, but still had enough room that this size works very well.
I couldn't be more pleased! It's also very well worth the price.
I will try to add a photo of my knife holder so that you can see it installed.
