Is this magnet strong enough to hold a knife with its plastic sheath cover on it while hanging?

Not really. I would investigate better (more expensive) units for holding knives.

I would say strong enough to hold when full of binder clips, paperclips, or other objects that might have some heft. Strength in magnets is a little hard to measure for these, but I use mine for a spice rack and I never worry about them falling off, even when nudged accidentally. Hope that helps.

No, it can not. This magnetic knife holder is meant to be mounted to a vertical surface by the way of screws. The back is not magnetic so you will not be able to stick it to the side of a refrigerator.

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.

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!

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

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.

I hang my Henckels Zwillinge knives from the cleaver to paring knives. It also has steel hooks that I hang my Fissler kitchen tools. I highly recommend this strip!

Strong magnet shouldn't be a problem. I anchored mine at the bottom with extra strength Velcro. Love it may get a second!

Yes, It appears to be a pretty strong magnet. I can place sideways on my fridge without it sliding off

It is possible , if you get strong enough magnets. Your degree of success will be determined by 1. the strength of the magnets you use, and 2. The total weight of the "Knife Bar" plus items you are trying to support. If I were absolutely committed to mounting this to a refrigerator, I would consider something more foolproof; like epoxy. Falling items like sharp kitchen knives could be extremely dangerous.

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 knives 12 inch - knife slid right off 10 inch - knife slid right off 8 inch - knife slides a little, then stays still I probably wouldn't trust it with the plastic sheaving on it.

I believe it is strong enough to hold the knives with no problem....As sometimes I have to actually twist the knife to remove it from the strip. My opinion is yes.....

This comes with a metal plate that gets screwed to the wall and the powerful magnetic piece snaps on over that. Though you could attach the plate with mounting tape I would strongly discourage that idea! The magnet is so strong you might likely wind up pulling the whole thing off the wall with eight knives stuck to it! Yikes!!!

YES, It's kind of a holster type thing. I hang mine in the garage and do not use the sheath.

The magnetic knife holder still needs to be mounted to something, as the magnet is only facing out/attracting things to it on the side where the knives and other metal objects go. Nice though though! At least that was my experience with it. I did not attempt to put it anything metal first. My guess, even if it did stick, it wouldn't stick enough to hold anything of great weight...ie. the reason for mounting it with screws. Enjoy! I've loved mine.
