Got a small kitchen, little free countertop space & not enough drawers? An affordable & popular project for knife storage is building your own wall mounted magnetic knife holder. This 12.5x5mm (~1/2x3/16”) neodymium boron disc magnet can hold nearly 9 pounds & can be used in any number of applications.

Not just for knives or kitchens. Styles vary greatly in design & cost but you can build a custom version at a fraction of the cost. Magnetic knife holders are a great way to organize & securely store your whisks, ladles, work tools, art supplies & keys according to functionality. Size it to fit any nook ;& cranny in the kitchen, garage, tool room or craft areas.

Picking the right magnet size & strength is a matter of desired thickness & distance between the embedded magnet & front surface of the knife rack. Check the specifications table below for holding force vs distance. If the remaining wood is only 1mm thick, this magnet can hold over 6 pounds. A thicker magnet like the 12.5x7.5 {link] can hold 8.2lbs through the same wood thickness. You can mix magnet thicknesses or diameters to match different sized knives.

We have sold NdFeB magnets since 1996 and N42 grade since 2003, the best value for strength & temperature vs cost. Don't be fooled by claims of higher strength, N52, at lower cost.

Read the complete Google Customer Review for: "...(Indigo) N42 Neodymium magnets...the real deal…bought magnets on Amazon advertised as N52… another cheap Chinese fake"

We also provide complete Documentation including MSDS & ROHS; see below.

Details
Holding force is what counts & it depends on how close the magnet is to the knife. Drill a shallow hole first & drop the magnet in. A #00 rubber stopper (see Related Products below) can keep the magnet in place while you test whether the knife holds. If not, drill a little deeper & try again.

Here's what 3 happy customers said in Google Reviews:

...I purchased (Indigo) N42 Neodymium magnets, they are the real deal. I had previously bought magnets on Amazon that were advertised as N52, they were just another cheap Chinese fake. These folks sell authentic, high quality stuff and get it to you fast....Read more of what Tracy Myerson had to say.

I've dealt with Indigo Instruments for years now....Most recently I sent them a hand-drawn sketch of my interpretation of something I saw on YouTube and wanted recommendations on what magnets to use. Chris called me up...his recommendation was bang on....Read more of what Ian Kelly had to say.

Been doing business with Indigo for many years. Their Neodymium magnets are superb in quality and price....Read more of what Peter Maran had to say.
