Food & Wine – The 4 Best Magnetic Knife Holders, According to Our Tests

December 13th 2024

The 360KB is the luxurious pick for you. It’s a hexagonal magnetic block that spins freely on its base for easy access to at least 12 full-sized knives. But you don’t have to worry about tipping or teetering as you switch between your paring knife and butcher knife; the 10-pound base did not wobble in our testing. Every style of knife we stuck to this piece held on without a hitch in a way that felt safe but still easy to retrieve. The bamboo body is hefty and durable, with an easy-to-clean surface that didn’t scratch during testing. (It’s also available in two types of walnut if you prefer.)

This is a well-designed and useful kitchen tool, but the 360KB is very expensive, the priciest model we tested. It’s also pretty bulky and has to sit where it can rotate freely, so it’s not more space-efficient than a non-magnetic knife block. It’s all about the look, which will elevate even the most basic knife set. The 360KB is 10 inches tall and should be able to handle most blades, but if you have some extra-long brisket slicers you need to keep close at hand, you can trade up to the bigger 360KnifeBlock or ultra-sized MAX.

Type: Countertop | Dimensions: 8 x 8 x 10 inches | Material: Bamboo or walnut | Capacity: 12 knives
