Is this just a piece of metal that magnets can stick to, or is this an actual magnet? I want to stick knives to it, will it hold them?

It is just a piece of metal that magnets stick to. It would not hold knives.

It is a piece of metal that magnets stick to. Basically they are small magnet posting boards, with cork on the back.

No, it is just a metal strip that will require mounting of some sort either with hardware or adhesive. Magnets stick to it great, but it is not a magnet itself.

Yes it is magnetic but not a very strong magnet. Stainless steel knives are not magnetic. We have never noticed any shavings.

Actually many customers use a magnetic knife rack for these knives. The coating does not inhibit the steel in these knives from being used on a magnetic knife rack.

Yes, as long as you have the room for the knives under the cabinet the magnet will hold them. I love mine. The wood is great quality and the magnet is very strong. :)

Sure it does, the magnet is very strong. I only have one complaint about design, it has a small SS border all over the magnet like rails, they made my knifes' edge to bend. Now I have to use a honing rod to fix the edges.

I have no idea of the exact metal content of this item but I can tell you that I tried several large magnets and none would stick to it. Don't know if that helps to answer your question. Sorry.

The unit is a face that the knives sit on and a back t shaped piece. The back piece is what is attached to the wall. It need significant support. Add the mass of the knives and tape becomes problematic. It will work but you need a rather strong adhesive and that may not come off the wall well.

Hi, love this holder. I have 12 full carving, cutting and boning knives plus a full size mandolin knife. Its exceptionally sturdy and the magnetic grip is excellent, they don't move until you take them down.

It is magnetic, it will hold any ferrous metal (steel, iron). I use it to put bumper stickers on the body of my car, that way they are not permanant. Hope this helps.

Only the front is magnetic and the back is durable plastic. The magnetic strength is quite strong, so I do recommend screwing the knife holder onto the wall.

It is a magnet...... Yes both sides stick to metal. :) I put one on the fridge and challenged them to remove it for 5 bucks. I still got my 5 bucks! That sucker is strong!

Hi Sue,I have a magnetic knife strip. It's perfect for holding the knives so they aren't banging around in a drawer and safer too. Hope this helps.

Oh yeah. This is one strong magnet. And if you were still worried, you could place the knife at a slight angle, so more of the surface would have a grip on it.

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!

The magnet is very strong so the knives would probably stay on. However I wouldn't choose this method since you would be unable to see the knives and might cut yourself.
