Sawyer’s detailed article really gets into the science of magnetic strength and ease of install.  This images really shows how much more BAR you get from the 360KnifeBlock BAR verses the competition.  We had no idea Serious Eat purchased or tested our 360KnifeBlock BAR so it was a fantastic summer surprise.

What I liked: This beautifully made wooden magnetic knife holder was the perfect example of form and function living in harmony. It’s crafted from maple or “guitar wood” (the wood used to make Fender guitar necks) and has a smooth surface that’s gentle on blades. Removing and replacing knives was easy, and its magnetic field was still strong enough to hold onto all shapes and sizes of knives. Its built-in level and slide-and-click attachment make it easy to install in one go.
