Magnetic Knife Blocks
It seems high tech to have a magnetic knife block. You can even dissasemble
an old hard drive, glue it to wood, and walla, a magnetic knife block. Magnetic
knife blocks are usually made of wood with a strong hidden magnet attached.
Magnetic blocks have several advantages. No Hole Matching
Magnetic knife blocks do not require a hole to match the knife shape because
the magnet is what holds it in place. The magnetic feature allows you
to arrange your knives in a lot of different ways (some people say artisitic).
Wall Mount
Magnetic knife blocks are the only style that can be mounted on the wall.
You will not need to guess as to which knife to pull out since the wall
mount style shows the knife blades.
Magnetic Knife Block Styles
Many magnetic knife blocks look like a block of wood. You can't tell they
are magnetic until you put something metal on them. The knives are typically
hidden behind the wood block. Wall mount styles have a wood or magnetic
appearance. Many of the wall mount magnetic knife blocks are very inexpensive.
A less common use of magnetic knife blocks is to put knives under the
counter or under the cabinet.
