I have stainless steel backsplash in my kitchen . Could I put these magnets on the back of a magnetic knife holder and put it on the backsplash?

No. Id get bigger magnets. These are very thin. I purchased these to use on magnetic blackboard paint.

The back is solid (it's actually two pieces, a magnetic strip that mounts to the wall, and a metal piece that goes over the top). You could use two-sided tape, however the screws offset the base strip from the wall, allowing extra clearance for the knives. If using tape, I would layer a few pieces of padded tape, to mimic that stand-off. It will allow you to grab knives easier, as the handles won't be flush against the wall.

Doubtful, the magnet itself is pretty heavy without any knives stuck to it. I have two myself and have mounted them on the wall making sure at least one end is on a stud.

I think the weight and use of the utensils would make it fall off. there isn't enough surface to have a large enough magnet to do that. I am also wondering if a magnet would stick to stainless steel. I think the answer might be a very strong glue, and that might not work, or somehow screwing it on - that would be my method, I said some how. jimsam

I can now answer, as we've gotten ours already. (Very quick delivery for this item compared to others on the Super Saver shipped order.)No is the answer. The magnets face only the one direction. Backwards, it sticks to the fridge fine, but then of course there's nowhere to stick the knives.Very easy mount to the side of the cabinet--we hung ours vertically there, and the knives stay horizontal just fine. I used my own 1/2" screws, but even those threads are a bit too deep as they poke a bit to the inside of the cabinet. It comes with 1" screws and plastic anchors.

I doubt it, I went looking for foodsafe magnets for this purpose and couldn't find them. You don't want your spices contacting the magnets.

I used 5 coats and regular kitchen magnets will stick, but will not hold anything. I bought some 3/4 inch rare earth magnets and they form a very secure bond now with my wall. The rare earth magnets hold large sheets of my child's painted artwork easily. After trying the rare earth magnets, this seems like an excellent product. If I'd stuck with the kitchen magnets, I would still be disappointed.

It depends on how strong your magnetic strip is. I bought my strip on eBay. It's made of oak & has very strong magnets. These knives stick fine with the blade guards on.

They are nice but they do not have the strongest magnets. I do not suggest this if you have a nice knife set. But to answer your question I have had nothing but problems with mine.

Yes a magnet will stick to the sides and bottoms of the pots and pans, however a magnet will not stick to the lids.

Stainless steel is a magnetic metal so it should be attracted to a magnet. Unless they are very high quality stainless a small amount of rust may occur but it should be minimal. I keep mine indoors when not in use and have had no problem with rusting.

No, pans must be magnetic. If its just copper clad over a magnetic material it may work. To be sure test pan bottoms with a magnet. Strange thing is most stainless steel is not magnetic but most stainless pans are. Go figure. Test pans first.

Logically, a magnetic tumbler would cause the stainless pins to adhere to the magnets and not flow around the objects to be cleaned. I would say the stainless steel pins would not be effective in a magnetic tumbler.

No. The magnet is strong but not that strong with the sheaving on the knives.

You could mount it with industrial double sided tape. The screw holes would remain visible unless you cut the heads off the screws and glued them over the holes or put something else over the holes to cover them ( metal ball, rhinestone, decorative doo dad). Magnet is not so strong to hold really heavy knives. Also if you have dropped big $ on really nice knives, be aware that the metal can mar them.

I think that if the cabinet backs are 1/4" the magnets will, probably, work. If the backs are any thicker the magnets may not work. They are, however VERY strong.Now I have a question for you: Why are you not locating the studs prior to install? Much easier and certain to work
