Would it work to hang a 15 inch magnetic knife rack? Suggestion on size to get?

Yes,but consider two things. One, the finish of the two surfaces being in contact with the strips. Two, the weight of the knife rack that is being hung. I've found that too smooth of a surface will not allow these strips to hold well. Try light sanding followed by a cleaning with alcohol. Determine the weight of the knife rack and compare to the listed capacities of the strips to choose the proper size of strips needed.

Depends on the knife. A paring knife or small (6") utility/santoku yes, a bread knife, chefs knife, or slicer no. If you got two of them and mounted them parallel then almost certainly.Edit: I don't know if my knives aren't as magnetic as these other peoples' are or what, but I've got some long high-carbon steel knives that definitely wouldn't hold like that. I'd also be concerned about the blade warping if left there for a long time.

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 can't say - I use it for yoga bands which are light weight and thin. Perhaps if you use drywall screws to anchor it to the wall. Also note, this rack is only 18" wide and the hooks are fairly close together - so larger objects won't fit as well. It works great for the skinny wall that I use it for, and it looks nice. Hope that helps.

my longest knife is 15" total length and it fits fine....it is a bread knife..

Hmmm....maybe. All my knives are commercial grade and heavy but if you have just a few light weight knives, the strips might work fine. Be careful.....that rack comes down loaded with knives and you'll be inventing a new dance step on the spot!! ( :

Yes it will hold your knife. The length from one "hand" to the other is a little more than 10 1/2 in. so it'll work.

I'm not sure it will work because the magnet is strong and when removing the knives repeatly I think it would loosen ove time.

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. :)

I just measured my knife rack at 8 3/4". I would guess that they specify 9'' just to leave a small margin of error.I have seen a similar product from OceanstarI.E. the Oceanstar In-Drawer Bamboo Knife Organizerwhich is spec'ed at 6.12". This may fit your needs.

It depends on how high and how securely you mount it. I'd look at alternate ideas because I think reaching up to the upper rack will be too difficult and there may be too much swaying. Best of luck.

yes! use the type of fastener that is used to secure cords to a base board. or if you happen to have a fastener of the type that is used to secure wire shelving to a wall. the kind that is often seen with the closet organizer type shelving. or you can look around and see what you can repurpose. when I bought this rack it was listed as a magazine holder. I immediately saw it as the perfect rack to hold my ceramic coated frying pans. good luck

I was curious about this question and I conducted a quick experiment. I got a plastic ziplock bag and put it in between the knife and the magnet to try to simulate the plastic sheath.Here are the results with the various size chef's knives12 inch - knife slid right off10 inch - knife slid right off8 inch - knife slides a little, then stays stillI probably wouldn't trust it with the plastic sheaving on it.

the door hooks are slightly under 2" so you'll be fine. I have an industrial size ironing board and it holds it securely along with my large iron and regular size spray bottle. Good Buy.

I don't think it would hold knives with sheaths. The magnet is really strong, but maybe not strong enough for your requirement. Another concern is that it has a metal rail-like edge over the magnets. The first time I put a knife on it, the blade suffered from a little "notch" and required a lot of honing. This issue can be surpassed by attaching your knives from the edge to the blade. If you do it from the blade to the edge, you will get "notches" on the edge.

That is EXACTLY what I use it for, but I added a large wood cutting board for extra stability due to the shape of my TV's stand; it will suffice, but there are other ones that I like better (but are not as large 16"). See my review.

I don't know about your mounting tape, but this item is pretty heavy. It is the BEST knife bar I have seen. But, you might be able to get one that is lighter. I bought a lighter one and it is OK, just not as good as this one!! Remember, your items will add to the weight as well.
