Considering this for our RV...are the magnets strong enough to hold the knives securely during a sometimes bumpy ride?

Good for holding knives. Did not mount well on a plaster wall. Make sure your knives are dry, otherwise they stain the wood. Looks very bad.

They are very strong, it is difficult to remove them actually. But they are made for a stable kitchen environment.

Absolutely! You need 2 monkeys and a wench to pull them off. But seriuosly YES. You can hold the knife 1"+ from the magnet and it will pull it in strongly. 10+ stars.

More than strong enough. This holder snatches the knives right out of your hand and doesn't want to let go. In fact you have to rotate the knife into its back edge to break the hold on it and remove it.

No, not really. They are not as strong as the metal edge and they do not hold as much before they start to sag.

No. The magnet is strong but not that strong with the sheaving on the knives.

Unless that cleaver is made of metals less attractive to magnets (some stainless steels are like that, for instance) these magnets will have absolutely no problem holding it up. I tested mine with a 14" Henckels fry pan (inductive rated) and a 12" heavy cast iron skillet, and a single magnet was enough to hold either one VERY securely! That cast iron skillet is far heavier than any normal kitchen utensil I'd think to hang on one of these, so I'm sure it will hold any "normal" item with no worries.

No, they're really not that secure. The bottom one holds the pole and the top one secure the chrome neck. It take a little getting use to. Good Luck

I don't think so, unless you have some REALLY strong double sided tape. We used screws, and that magnet really grips when taking a knife off.

I don't own this set but I do own the cuisinart set like it with plastic blade guards. They hang on our ikea magnetic knife strip on the wall without any issues. If the knife is made of steel, the thin plastic guard doesn't inhibit the magnet from attaching the knife to it at all :)

My husband doesn't have any trouble and, unless all your lives have identically fat handles, they won't be that close together. I bought two of these and they hold a lot of knives. I've even put my steak knives in the small slots in between.

I mounted mine using Command Strips about a year ago and it's still going strong. You have to be a little creative about it and make sure that they cure before you hang anything on it. I can't promise it'll work if you're using to hold any particularly heavy knives or tools, but it works for me.

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.

When using them, the handles will stay together, so it is not a problem. I suppose you could use some sort of clip if you're worried about it.

Mine doesn't have any magnets. I just slide them in the slots. I have some very valuable knives and have had no scratches.

I would say no. They are small, for cabinet doors ...don't think they would be strong enough

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....

In my opinion no. The magnets are, but the plastic mounts wouldn't take it too long.

The magnet is fairly strong. I wouldn't chance it. I might carry it separately if possible

Not ours. They seem pretty sturdy. We have used knives on it to cut chicken and steak with no problem, but I am sure if you press anything hard enough it may leave a scratch, so using it as a chopping board is a no, but regular dinning I think it'll be fine! We love ours!
