Can this be hung vertically rather than horizontally? Would the knives hang correctly if this was vertical?

Yes, it can he hung vertically but really don't know if knives would hang correctly. It's a very powerful magnet but it's only a couple of inches wide. You might be able to contact the seller for an answer.

it depends on the weight of the knife. I would think that a light knife would be okay, but a heavy one would not work.

I would say 'No'. One of my heavier knives hangs at a slight angle. Not a huge problem but I'm thinking it might be much worse if it was hung vertically.

Yes. This will hold large cleavers horizontally as well as other large knives (e.g. chef's knives) with less width than a cleaver, provided the knife is held somewhere around its center of balance. For example, if you try to hold a 10" chef's knife by the very tip, the moment will pry it off of the bar. If held near the middle to rear of the blade, this bar can hold any knife horizontally.

It does not have hangers on the bottom, but I believe you could install your own and the foam would hold the knives in securely if it was to hang on the wall

I'm sure it can. However, the slits in the back are positioned for it to be hung horizontally. To hang it vertically you'd have to modify it yourself I'm sure.

I believe it would be fine to mount it vertically. mine is horizontal, but I don't see anything that would prevent or prohibit from vertical.

Yes, in a way. You can always change the positioning with no problem. My husband has changed our several times as he has gotten new knives to add to his collection. I hope this answers your question. If you need more information, please feel free to ask again!

The board is designed to be hung horizontally with "clips" formed into frame. If hardware were purchased separately I feel it could be hung vertically. Hope this helps. Great size board for price.

Actually I just put it vertical and it would work. I love mine ( I have two )!

I'd be nervous to hang it up with anything but the screws given with it. Given the weight of the bar and the knives stuck on it, I'd worry that it would fall, especially when you're pulling something off of it. If you have tape that you know can withstand that kind of weight, I'd say try it. I've had knife magnets fall when not properly attached and it's scary!

Yes, but it depends on the individual item. The one I have swivels. I'm not sure that all of them swivel to be both horizontal and vertical, so be sure to check the item description.

I think it would. Mine is already mounted parallel to the wall, but it is very strong. Mine currently holds 12 knives from a small paring knife to a large chef knife. The trick is to "pry" the knife off to break one of the two magnetic strips. But I would be confident mounting parallel to the floor.

I assume. Our kitchen doesn't have a vertical space, but I could see it being functional vertically. The towel bar snaps in so you won't have to worry about it falling out.

I'm assuming you mean on the wall beneath cabinets and not facing downward on the bottom of the cabinets. I have mine on the wall and it fits perfectly and they knives stay on. But if you DO mean under the cabinets the knives will probably stay on because the magnet is quite strong. It "grabs" the knife when I get close to it.

I wouldn't think that would be a problem. The handles sit up on the block Just the blade goes down inside. It holds large and small knives. I love mine.

They will not stick if you mount it vertically. You should not use this for large knives, the magnets are weak. You would do better to spend the money on a more expensive bar.

We hung ours horizontally, but I'm sure it would work vertically too. You just need to pull the towel straight out. We love ours. You should be sure it's attached to the wall in a stud not just in the drywall.

Theres wire hangers on each side that should let u hang it vertically. I knw i would do it that way if i used lights like that. If u measure right u can use both hangers instead of letting it hang from the one which one should hold it just fine. Hopefully this answers your question. Feel free to ask any other questions if u need to.
