Wüsthof 18-inch Magnetic Knife Holder, Stainless Steel

Wüsthof’s stainless steel magnetic holder mounts on the wall and holds a row of knives where you can see and reach them, with a brushed metal finish that matches stainless appliances and backsplashes.

At 18 inches, it has room for the knives you use every day plus a pair of shears. It installs with the included bracket and screws. Place it within reach of your cutting board and away from heat and steam. Mounted at eye level, it frees prep space on the counter and keeps sharp edges out of the reach of children.

Stainless steel is easy to wipe clean, but metal against metal can mark a blade, so take care when hanging knives. Touch the spine to the bar first and let the blade settle against it, and remove it the same way. For a softer face that is kinder to edges, see the walnut magnetic holder. For counter storage, a block such as the 17-slot acacia block keeps knives enclosed.
