Review on Multipurpose 10-Inch Stainless Steel Magnetic Knife Bar - Ideal for Kitchen Utensils, Tools, Art Supplies, and Home Organization by Justin Quinones

I had a few problems with this magnetic strip. The first problem is that my knives want to rotate and stick parallel to the bar instead of hanging from it as shown in the pictures. It seems to depend on the width of the knife blade and where you place it, but in most cases it does. At the same time, this poses a possible safety risk, as the knives are moved with a certain force that can damage the knives if the blades hit each other, and the capacity of the magnetic bar is greatly reduced since the knives take up much more space. when you're off the bar. My previous bar, left behind in a previous house when moving in, had two ribbon magnets about an inch apart and never had this problem. This one appears to have circular magnets spaced at regular intervals within the shaft and blocking magnetic fields appear to be causing this problem. This seems to be an inherent problem with this design and I couldn't find a panel with the design I used previously so I'm wondering what I'm missing as this design seems to have taken over, although in my experience it has Has. is even worse. Assembly was also an issue as when we opened the box we accidentally cut the supplied plastic strip to separate the fasteners. I was able to open it with some tools but that was a problem as the magnets are pretty strong. I understand that this was an error on our part, but I still call it a problem because even if the initial installation was done correctly, if you ever want to move it you will have a very difficult project to take it apart again.
