Best Magnetic Knife Strips
Knife strips make any cooking scenario easier. Simply grab a knife off the wall, get to work chopping and cutting, and pop the knife back up when you're done. Knife strips also free up storage space in the kitchen and make rummaging in the drawers for utensils and other implements a lot safer, since you don't have to worry about being cut by an errant blade. Furthermore, a stylish knife strip can make even the most drab kitchen a little more hip and chic. Here are some of the best knife strips for each application and use.

This would be a great purchase for those looking to store large knives in the kitchen, but also tools, keys, toys, or anything else you have in mind. A great all-around purchase for magnetic storage. At 16 inches, it provides enough space for implements without taking up too much room. Order Online.

Most Stylish
Coninx Magnetic Knife Holder

Trendy Bamboo Magnet Board
This hip bamboo magnetic board is sure to wow dinner guests.
What We Liked
These all-natural bamboo wood holders take the prize for coolest knife strip. Who would’ve thought a bamboo board would be magnetized? This bamboo is also anti-bacterial, an added bonus, and easy to clean. There’s no need to take up wall space here, just set up the board on your countertop and pop knives onto it. It’s a perfect hybrid between a traditional knife block and the other magnetic strips on this list. The only downside here is it does take up counter space, and it offers less overall knife storage space than the strips. Still, this Coninx bamboo block makes up for that with style points. Get It Here.
