This is... a harrowing magnetic knife strip story.
Functional and impressive, magnetic strips keep knives accessible but out of the way, and lend an air of professionalism to any kitchen. I thought I’d look like someone who knew what she was doing once I had one of my own—rather than someone who carelessly kept her prizedAll I had to do was screw the strip into the wall and arrange my collection in size order to feel like a real grown-up. There was only one problem: My kitchen didn’t have any walls.
So I did the next-best thing: I bought heavy duty adhesive, and affixed my knife strip to the side of the, where it stayed for exactly 16 hours. That night, while I was thankfully safe in another room, the strip clattered to the ground, leaving a scene I can only describe as NC-17 material. The sole casualty was a
, bent beyond repair after its nose-dive into my wood floor—but I was a changed woman. I bought a pack of knife protectors the very next day.storage, but they were absolutely the right one; years later, I’m as reliant on them as ever, and can’t imagine storing my knives any other way. In particular, I use Noble Home & Chef’s “edge guards,” which are long, thin sleeves made of hard plastic that are lined with felt.
While many knife protectors on the market are made from PVC plastic, Noble uses ABS , which is stronger and more durable than PVC, BPA-free, and non-toxic. They’re the sturdiest protectors I’ve ever interacted with, which is very important to me: I cook, and when I’m opening and shutting my knife drawer constantly, I need to know that the contents aren’t getting dinged up. The hard plastic covers keep my knives from banging into each other or the walls of the drawer, which dulls the blades.
Sliding a knife out of a plastic protector takes a second or two longer than pulling one off a magnetic strip on the wall—and definitely looks less badass—but I’ve found that it’s the best way to keep them looking and performing their best in my tiny, busy kitchen. I'm not happy I ruined a paring knife in the Falling Blades Incident of 2016, but I am grateful it happened ; now I know that no matter what happens, both I and my knives are safe.
