I hung a magnetic knife holder in the kitchen.

I hung a row of those to display my wife's vintage lunchbox collection.
- Nice use case
This has been waiting months, and I installed it today to avoid a more difficult and important project. 😉
- Stop calling me out.
- This is the way
I know how magnets work and Ive never seen a knife fall off one of these but they still give me low grade anxiety.
Them Final Destination films ruined me.
Why tip-down instead of handle-down?
- Don't ask about the toilet paper roll...
- For the same reason you carry anything tip down.
  
  Can’t tell if it’s the case in this photo, but mine hangs over my work area so handle down was definitely the safer option…
  …also more natural to grab
Good timing, I just did the same! I use to have a metal one which held the knives better but went with wood as it’s quieter and kinder to the knives.
- That's fantastic! I love wood, but it doesn't match the overall aesthetic of our kitchen. I'm a bit jealous of your knife holder actually!
Those aren't Globals, but they're patterned after the Global style. What's the brand?
- Oh wow thought they were globals - pretty blatant rip off. I love the global design - other knives feel dirty after using these types of knives with no wood / fastners. It will trigger many of you to hear this, but I will sometimes place my globals on a knife rack in my dishwasher. I have the professionally sharpened once a year and hone them before each use and the dishwasher really doesn't seem to affect them that much.
  
  We have a full set of Globals, acquired individually over the years. They're solid knives, and better than any other big brand I've tried. My favorite kitchen knives, though, by far, are Miyabi. I have only two, but they're incredible. I think I'd have to get on some waiting list for a Japanese knife maker who makes each knife by hand to get anything better.
  That said, I can beat up my Globals and always bring them back to true. I'm afraid of working the Miyabis too hard lest I do something horrible to the edge.
- Looks like it could be the IKEA 365+ set.
  
  Yes these are from Ikea! I have mixed feelings about Ikea in general, but I liked the look of these.
Not very dull 😒
Edit guys it’s a knife pun.
- I appreciate your pun.
You only have three knives?
(You can't see it, but I'm making my Smug Face.)
- Haha. I promise that there are more but they were in the dishwasher. I was too excited to wait for the complete set to make a photo. 😅
  
  Sharp knives in dishwasher? gasp
