I just got a new set of Cuisinart Advantage knives with sheaths. Will the magnets hold through the plastic sheaths?

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 don't really know because I wall mounted them. I wouldn't think so though because they are barely strong enough to hold the knives.

Magnet sticks to blades, but not container....hope this is helpful...works like a charm :)

I guess that would depend on the size and weight of the knife. I think they could. However, you may need to use a stronger adhesive to keep them attached to the wall. Personal experience with them: I used these magnets to hold my glove box shut temporary when the latch broke to keep the light from draining my battery ... it was a fail. The adhesive was not strong enough for either side of the magnet. They would stick together thus the glove box would fall open.

They stay on a magnetic strip fine with the sheaths removed, but not with the sheaths on. The sheaths are made of a firm plastic, which is not magnetic.

The more surface area of the knife that touches the magnetic part the stronger the hold. Sometimes knives do fall off, but that's usually when they're too close together and get disturbed when pulling off one next to them. Generally, it works very well.

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.

They should work if the knives are not stainless steel. High grade stainless steel is not very magnetic; however regular steel will work and low nickel stainless steel may work. You can test the magnetic affinity with any magnet.

They do, its a small clear plastic cover that slips over the metal blades. If you are planning on slipping these into your knife-block, they will still fit w/sheath on.

I've had this knife rack for some time now for my high-end knife set and haven't had any issues with blade damage. The magnet is padded with thin strips of silicone rubber, so it won't cause scratches to the blades. Plus, I think the angled design is safer when replacing the knives onto the bar. This costs a pretty penny, but it's well worth it!

It depends on the surface you put them on. On my fridge, they hold cooking utensils just fine. In my old apartment, where I used them on metal cabinets, they would only hold the lighter ones. The magnets aren't particularly strong.

Slip out, no, that doesn't happen unless you put forks into the silverware holder tines down. Same for very thin-bladed knives. They both will slip thru the wire cage a bit. My holder is hooked to the side of the unit, not to the back as in the photo. So whatever slips a bit thru the cage just hangs in the air, not touching anything.

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

The two magnets embedded in the plastic are exactly 3 inches apart (from outside edges of magnets) so that leaves you 1/4 inch of plastic beyond each magnet if you cut them to 3 1/2 inches. If you use a chop saw, go slowly because the plastic is fairly dense and will catch the blade and go flying and break the plastic if you force it at all (don't ask me how I know). If you go slowly, you can get a clean cut.

It is a magnetic strip to hold flat knives. I installed it in a dental lab to hold the dentist's tools. I would assume it will hold anything magnetic. It is sleek and attractive.

I have not tried to use stick it to my fridge but I don't think it will work seeing as the magnets are on the front to hold apps. I think if you stuck it to your friends with the magnets mental there will be no where to put the knives. I do not think the backside is magnetic.

The ones I received were stainless steel (a magnet would not move them).The end that clip in ARE NOT STAINLESS, therefore I could pick them up with a magnet.Wipe the slicer portion and try not to get the ends wet.With that in mind; it is easy to remove the slicer portion and wash the board by itself, let it dry and reinstall the slicer
