Do not purchase a more expensive knife strip.......this one is a fantastic value. The only problem I have with this product, and I do wish I could give 1/2 stars, because I would give it 4.5 stars, is that there are no installation instructions included, but it is fairly simple to install: (it comes with 2 screws which act as tabs, and there are black platic slots on the back, which slide out. Simply mark where the screws will line up and screw them into place, take out one of the tabs, slide one side of the strip onto one of the screws, then slide the tab you took out back into the strip and over the screw "tab". Done.) Still, installation instructions should should have been included. This product holds a 8 inch chef's knife, a 6.5 inch santoku, 2 9 inch slicers, a 9.5 inch bread knife, and about 3 paring knives (about 2.5 inches each) and a serrated tomato slicer (about 4 inches or so). The magnet is very strong and effectively holds the knives in place. This is a much safer method for keeping knives (do NOT store knives in a drawer) and will help to keep them sharper longer. Plus, this is more sanitary than a knife block in my opinion.
So, don't spend more on another knife strip. Get this one, you will not regret it.

Having started a real knife collection with Wusthof cutlery, I was told by one of my friends who's wife works at Williams-Sonoma that a magnet strip is one of the best way to store your knives. Plus it looks awesome when you use one and it's full of knives too.Deciding to use my retailer of choice (Amazon), I did a search of Knife Strip on Amazon and got a list of several. Some reviews were good, some bad on each one. What concerned me is that I wanted one where the magnets were strong and the installation was simple, yet sturdy.
I finally decided to go with the Chicago Cutlery one because of several reasons. The first reason is because past reviews mention that the magnets were very strong strong (a plus, you don't want them falling randomly... could be a potential disaster). The second reason is the price... other magnet strips have prices from $21+ and I didn't want to spend that much.
Although there are no instructions with this thing, anyone who is savvy with hardware & home improvement can mount these with relative ease. These come with 2 philips screws with drywall anchors if you don't have any available studs in your walls. Luckily using my studfinder, the length of this strip matched the exact width of my wall studs. I ended up using my level, a pencil, and philips screwdriver and mounted this flush against my wall. The endcaps of this knife strip need to be removed and despite the other review of how they are flimsy and fall off easily, my endcaps were as tight as a prison cell.
After about 10 minutes of installation, I had a very strong magnetic knife strip that holds my knives very securely, is mounted very tight (no leeway or flimsiness), and now my wall looks awesome as if I'm some kind of blacksmith hanging his knife collection on the wall.

I really like this product, however I don't use it for knives I use it in my sewing room to keep all my scissors at my finger tips! Great product for sewing as well as cooking! The magnetic strip is really strong. I would recommend this product.Honest reviews on Chicago Cutlery 1063947 Magnetic Knife Storage Strip
Bought this item several months ago. Last month, I pulled a knife out, and one of the magnets followed, detaching itself from the holster. The problem with the product is that the magnet is glued into the plastic holster, which you then fasten to the wall. A large knife with a lot of surface area (like a meat cleaver) pulls the magnet quite forcefully. There needs to be more than just glue, and I'm gonna makeshift a solution into my model (screws or something else).The good thing is that I called Chicago Cutlery and they replaced it free of charge. Didn't even need to mail the broken one back. I'm gonna figure out a way to fasten the magnet in there better, but I'll be careful in the meantime.
