Storing your favorite knives on a wall-mounted magnetic bar protects them from knocking around in a cluttered drawer where they can get dull and nicked. The bar lets you see the knife you want at a glance, so you don't have to pull several handles out of a wood storage block to find the right blade. And, let's face it, knives just look cool stuck to a wall bar. Bodum has infused this 19-inch magnet with gold, which isn't magnetic itself, but which enhances the magnetic properties of the steel. The result is an extra-strong pull that keeps even your formidable chef's knife secure. Best on the whole for small or medium-sized knives, the magnet comes with a wall-mounting template and hardware, and is perfect for compact kitchens where counter and drawer space is limited. --Ann Bieri
