May be a dumb question, but is it okay to store this knife on a magnetic knife bar?

A magnetic bar can scratch your knife, if you want to keep the finish. If u use a magnetic bar, be careful and slightly twist the knife away from the edge when removing.

Blah blah blah "it'll scratch" blah blah... Get creative people! Like maybe...Cover your magnetic holder with a piece of paper towel. You pull a knife off, but the other knives still hold it in place. And it's obviously easily replaceable.Or, for something more permanent, paint your holder with Plastidip or liquid electrical tape. Heck, even latex paint would probably work! (Certainly wouldn't be my first choice though...)Anyway, I'm sure you get the point. Get creative.

Not sure. We keep it in a special case and it is beyond sharp. Be careful and use great care when using this knife. It is not a toy or a average knife. The. Est we have owned.

I just use a regular steel and it works great. Use the angle you would for any knife.

I honestly wouldn't know, I would think that would be fine. its 1095 carbon steel so it will rust which makes sense to put it on top of the coating but like I said I wasn't impressed when I received mine and returned it the next day. There are so many good knives out the and for the money you'd pay for this one you can get a lot of knife. I added in some more money and went with an ESEE 6 instead.

I placed the magnetic strip directly on the side of the cabinet at an angle. No problems getting knives on or off. It is very handy for use, while out of sight unless I am near the sink. Works well for me.

HI Kristi. I don't think it was intended as such, but I don't think it would cause any problems. The magnets are fairly strong so small paring knives will stay perpendicular. A large chef knife might have a little bit of an issue, perhaps. My guess is that as long as it has a good center of gravity and is balanced it will stay how you want it. The actual strip just mounts via screws so vertical would be easier, whether on a stud or with just the dry wall. Hope this helps.

Yes I do but I wouldn't unless necessary. It is still a folding knife and you might damage locking system. I did use it that way once and still works fine.

I picked it specifically because it wasn't metal like others I've seen. The wood completely encloses the magnets, so anything that hangs from it only touches wood. It seems comparable to resting a knife on a wood cutting block. The magnets create a firm pull, but they don't require a lot of force to pull knives off. By tilting or gently sliding, I find the knives are smooth in coming off.

I don't think it is strong enough. A magnetic knife holder would be better.

I would say no. The metal quality is not up to par. I would limit the use to thin vinyl, card stocks, flexible magnets, etc.

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.

not sure... Google them? I really love them!!! I have mine on a vertical magnetic knife rack in my kitchen on the side of an end counter by the sink... it looks really cool!!!

I collect a lot of knives. Currently, this knife is stored away. I believe it is a liner lock. If you look into the blade compartment you should see a flat piece of metal, along the blade "liner" that locks the blade in place. You should be able to push this liner away from the blade to release the blade allowing it to close. Try that and let me know if it works.

it's a pretty strong magnet, but not sure about hanging with the knives hanging down like that...if they fall off...oh boy. We have it mounted on the wall and they stay at that position very well...sometimes it's even hard to pull them off... but, again I would be worried if it's under the cabinet. If the knife was lite weight...maybe....

The magnet is very strong so the knives would probably stay on. However I wouldn't choose this method since you would be unable to see the knives and might cut yourself.

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.

Not being magnetic will hamper the transfer of heat to your cooking surface. So I would have to say no.

Hi Ellen,My guess is yes. I think it's heat that reduces magnetism. The magnets are not as strong as let's say a knife strip you install to attached knives. However, it's pretty strong.Hope this helps!-G
