🔪 Magnetic Knife Holder: Ouddy 16 Inch Stainless Steel Magnetic Knife Strip for Kitchen Utensils, Art Supplies, and Tools Review

This review could have given 5 stars if there wasn't one thing - there weren't instructions for it. I kept wondering why I couldn't get it to stick to my fridge because the magnet is really strong. Looks like the back cover needs to be removed. After placing the front of the holder on a soft towel, pull up on the two plastic tabs to remove the back, leaving the back cover in place and just storing it in a safe place in case you need the want to hang the holder on the wall later. I agree with…

A similar product from Modern Innovations (which I later ordered) has an instruction manual that very clearly warns of pinch hazards with text and diagrams. This Ouddy product does not come with instructions so there is no warning. I removed the Ouddy metal baseplate to check the magnetic fit on the fridge (which was fine) and then proceeded to replace the baseplate while I figured out where to put the magnet on the wall. I was surprised by the suddenly very strong magnetic force when the base…

Ready and on the wall in under 5 minutes. It would have taken less than a minute but I had to stop to deal with the injury. BE CAREFUL when placing the metal frame around the magnet. Because if SOMETHING gets in the way, the suction cups get pinched. eg leather. Just don't be casual like me. About a foot away from him, this magnet begins to pull the metal towards it. And damn, it's hard to separate when one of your hands failed because the skin got pinched and you're now part of the knife…

The backslash on my subway tile looks really nice. I would have given 5 stars if it wasn't for one thing. Be very careful when removing the steel strip from the magnet that you need to attach to the wall. They put a thick strip of plastic in there to help, but it slipped and caught a finger between the steel mounting strip and the magnet. It actually bled. Of course, if I had driven slower this could have been avoided, but I feel that instead of a plastic strip, a steel strip connected to a…

Bought this as a gift for my wife to keep her new knives. She really likes the look. I'm a bit disappointed that (at least with our knives) the magnet isn't strong enough to keep the knives straight. They all lean a bit, but that seems to bother me more than she does. If you're worried about the steel scratching your knives, I've come up with a little trick for that. I place the unsharpened edge of the blade on the bar and then rotate the blade until it snaps against the magnet. As for the…

I've had a magnetic IKEA knife holder for many years and loved that all my chef's knives were so accessible. I just moved into my new home and had to quickly look for a new one as I had to leave mine. My biggest concern was whether this magnetic knife holder would be strong enough to hold all of my knives. I decided to try this holder instead of driving 1.5 hours to the nearest Ikea. It was easy to install. After opening the package I had to move the back strongly away from the magnetic front…
