Magnetic Knife Holder
Bench Crafted makes a magnetic knife holder called the Mag-Blok, which is both beautiful and functional; oh, and it’s made out of wood. Extremely strong neodymium-iron-boron magnets are sandwiched under the surface of the wood, making anything metallic (ostensibly) stick to the wood… makes for a tiny bit of cognitive dissonance. As an added bonus, the wood does not damage your knives. Given such good looks, I would expect a high price… but this thing is affordable. Dan’s Data writes:
This Mag-Blok is the eighteen-inch cherry-wood model, yours for a mere $US35 plus delivery. You can get Mag-Bloks made from a variety of other woods, plus smaller 12-inch versions as well.
Dan’s review features a ridiculous picture illustrating just how much the Mag-Blok can hold. If I had a wall to put this on, it’d be a “buy” for sure!

There are two things I don’t want to experience when working with knives…
1 - Cognitive dissonance (actually, I just don’t want to experience this at all, ever, because everything I believe must be right, right?)
2 - I don’t like the idea of a force capable of moving the knife interacting with it at the same time I am… Then again… I guess you could say it’s preventing it from moving on accident… which could be good to… still.. i dont like external forces working on objects I’m working on.
