FAQs

What is the length of the magnetic knife holder?

The Alpina Magnetic Knife Holder measures 38cm in length.

What types of knives can be used with this holder?

This holder is designed for knives with metal blades. It will not hold ceramic knives.

How do I clean the magnetic knife holder?

Wipe the holder with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

Does it come with mounting hardware?

Mounting hardware such as screws and wall anchors is not typically included and may need to be purchased separately based on your wall type.

Can this holder be mounted on a metal backsplash?

While it has a magnetic grip for knives, the holder itself needs to be securely screwed into a solid surface like a wall for stability. It is not designed to be attached via its own magnetism to another surface.

Will heavy knives stay on the holder?

The holder is designed for a strong magnetic grip, but the ability to hold very heavy knives may depend on the specific knife's weight and composition. It's recommended to test with your heavier knives to ensure security.

Is the magnetic strip strong enough to hold knives if the wall is bumpy?

The magnetic strength is primarily for holding the knives. The holder's stability on the wall depends entirely on the secure mounting of the holder itself to a flat, stable wall surface using appropriate hardware.

Troubleshooting

Knives are not holding securely.

Ensure the knives are made of magnetic metal. Wipe both the knife blade and the holder surface clean, as oil or debris can reduce magnetic effectiveness. Verify the holder is mounted securely and not flexing.

Holder feels loose on the wall.

The mounting hardware may not be suitable for your wall type or may have loosened over time. Re-mount the holder using appropriate, heavy-duty wall anchors and screws. Ensure the screws are fully tightened.

Surface scratching.

Avoid sliding knives forcefully onto or off the magnetic strip. Place knives gently onto the holder and remove them by pulling straight out. Minor cosmetic scratches may occur over time with regular use.
