In the kitchen, storage space is precious, and that's where a magnet bar comes in. Whether you're a keen cook or an amateur, a magnet bar can be an excellent way of keeping your knives and even your stainless steel kitchen utensils within easy reach, while freeing up space on your worktop and in your drawers, as well as enhancing your kitchen. However, choosing the right magnet bar can be tricky, given the different options available. The KnifeLeader team is here to help you choose the perfect knife holder for your kitchen!
There are several parameters to take into account when choosing a magnetic bar:
There are several sizes of knife magnet bars, and at KnifeLeader, you can choose from a wide range of sizes: 30 cm, 45, 50, and even 62 cm. So first of all, assess the quantity of kitchen knives you plan to hang on the magnet bar. Measure the available space on the wall to which you plan to attach it. If you have a lot of knives and utensils, opt for a longer bar. A shorter bar may suffice if you only have a few utensils to store.
Magnetic bars are available in a wide variety of materials and designs. Stainless steel models are elegant, modern and durable. Stainless steel is resistant to demanding environments and can be used for long periods without losing its magnetic capacity.
Wooden versions, meanwhile, can add a warm, authentic touch to your kitchen. Wood won't rust and has a pleasantly soft feel. What's more, many types of wood are used to make magnet bars: beech, bamboo or walnut, you're bound to find a species you like!
Think about how you're going to use the bar magnet. Is it primarily for storing knives, utensils or both? Some models are specially designed for knives, others for kitchen utensils, like the Gefu Smartline kitchen utensil bar.
Ideally, you should choose the magnetic bar from the same brand as your kitchen knives, as this allows you to keep a brand-specific design and build up your knife range by associating a brand accessory. Of course, this is by no means compulsory!
You can choose a magnetic knife holder by Wüsthof, Yaxell or even Fischer.
