The Best Magnetic Knife Strips
Knife storage, knife storage, knife storage. Where do we begin?!
There are so many different kitchen knife storage options in the world, and it is definitely one of the overly gimmicked niches in the kitchen in recent years (the plastic cartoon characters that you slide your knives through is a particular example that jumps to mind).
Kitchen Knife Storage Options
There are plenty of options when it comes to storing your kitchen knives. Largely, they fall in to the following categories:
- Kitchen knife blocks which sit on top of your kitchen counter
- Magnetic knife strips, as demonstrated by this MUI model, which you screw into your wall
- In drawer kitchen knife racks, blocks or trays, which are gaining popularity
- Storing them loosely in a drawer, which is definitely NOT recommended
Regardless of which of these camps you may happen to fall into, it is hard to deny the space saving, worktop clearing efficiency introduced by magnetic knife racks
The Best Magnetic Knife Rack?
This MUI France is one of the most popular magnetic kitchen knife racks on the market at the moment, and it is quite clear to see why.
It measures 20 inches long, which is going to be plenty of space for most people unless you have a particularly large collection of cleavers or large chef’s knives. It may, in fact, be a little bit too spacious for some (for example, if you only have three good quality kitchen knives), so it is worth bearing those requirements in mind when buying a magnetic knife strip.
Installation is straight forward, but as you would expect with a any magnetic knife rack, these do need to be screwed in to the kitchen wall so as to keep the knives from falling off. If you have a rented apartment or house, this might be harder to convince your landlord to do than if you own.
However, if you are all good to go on getting a magnetic knife strip up and running, then you will really struggle to beat this knife holder from MUI France.
