Messermeister - Bamboo Magnet Block - Holds 10 Knives

I was hesitant to buy this item because I have a set of heavy Global knives, but the magnet on this item is strong enough to keep them straight -even my 8 inch heavy Chef's knife. You have to know where the magnets are located, but once you do that it is easy to get your knives on and off the rack and back on. The bottom two slots are better suited to utility knives because of the angle. What I like about this block is that the blades of your knives aren't getting dulled like they do in a regular knife block. As a bonus, it looks really cool on my counter.

The magnets don't hold up anything but small knives. I did not expect it to hold a cleaver, but I have Henckles knives and this block won't even hold up a 5" knife. When I place a knife against the block, it just slides off and down to the countertop. Too bad, I really thought it was pretty and I like the idea of seeing the knife I want to use without having to pull it out of a block. I have a wall mounted magnetic knife holder that works very well, so I was hoping this would be capable of doing the job because I remodeled my kitchen and don't want to screw a wall mount holder into the tile backsplash.

Great idea but doesn't hold a cleaver very well. It will hold 10 knives depending on the size and weight.
