Are the magnets strong enough to mount the Bar vertically w/knives arranged horizontally? Knives have more leverage this way.

Yes, I think it's strong enough to hold the knives if you mount the bar vertically. The magnet on my strip is pretty darn strong...it holds a meat cleaver with no problem.

Might depend on your knives, but I would not recommend this bar as it is too weak.

I have mine horizontally with 6 knives hung handle down. They also stick handle up. The magnets are quite strong so I would think you could hang it vertically.

They are nice but they do not have the strongest magnets. I do not suggest this if you have a nice knife set. But to answer your question I have had nothing but problems with mine.

I believe it is so long as your knives have a solid blade. One of mine is a cheese knife with a cutout center. It wouldn't have enough mass to hold on.

Not that I've noticed. However, I tend to not slide the knife a lot while on the bar. Hope this helps. Plan to provide your own anchors. Two provided are trash. Otherwise, Good product.

it's a pretty strong magnet, but not sure about hanging with the knives hanging down like that...if they fall off...oh boy. We have it mounted on the wall and they stay at that position very well...sometimes it's even hard to pull them off... but, again I would be worried if it's under the cabinet. If the knife was lite weight...maybe....

Definitely, this can be mounted on the underside of a kitchen cabinet.The magnet is strong enough to hold the knives in place, don't worry about that. You just need to understand that for safety reasons you need to have a clear view so you grab the handles.

I'd be nervous to hang it up with anything but the screws given with it. Given the weight of the bar and the knives stuck on it, I'd worry that it would fall, especially when you're pulling something off of it. If you have tape that you know can withstand that kind of weight, I'd say try it. I've had knife magnets fall when not properly attached and it's scary!

I don't think so, unless you have some REALLY strong double sided tape. We used screws, and that magnet really grips when taking a knife off.

Yes if you can use gorilla glue or super glue the magnetic bar to the back of the bar, and I would use gorilla glue.

Yes, the round ends in the picture are the magnets and they're quite strong too. They swivel so the hooks can be mounted to a horizontal surface. See my review for more details.

Yes, I have both a 8" chef knife and a 12" bread knife on this rack and it holds them well, no sliding. I had the rack for a few month only, so I am not sure of magnet power over time.

I've never used them for that purpose but I can assure you that the magnets are strong. My guess is that you would be pleased.

Yes. This will hold large cleavers horizontally as well as other large knives (e.g. chef's knives) with less width than a cleaver, provided the knife is held somewhere around its center of balance. For example, if you try to hold a 10" chef's knife by the very tip, the moment will pry it off of the bar. If held near the middle to rear of the blade, this bar can hold any knife horizontally.

Hi, I have the magnetic knife tool bar mounted horizontally to the side of an upper kitchen cabinet. If you are also installing it to a similar cabinet, it should work. If you have children in the house, open displaying would not be safe, I would think. As the other reviewer noted, lots of opening and closing, and movement of some sort, will dislodge the knives.

Yes, you can physically place the knives with blades up. Obviously, it would be very unsafe to do so, considering there would be no protection from the exposed edges. Also, when placed with the blade down, the curved handle grip naturally holds the knife in place.

Yes, as long as you have the room for the knives under the cabinet the magnet will hold them. I love mine. The wood is great quality and the magnet is very strong. :)

I think it would. Mine is already mounted parallel to the wall, but it is very strong. Mine currently holds 12 knives from a small paring knife to a large chef knife. The trick is to "pry" the knife off to break one of the two magnetic strips. But I would be confident mounting parallel to the floor.

I'm sure it would work, but the knives will be hanging horizontally instead of vertically so they may rotate on you unless they are placed exactly in their weight center. The magnet is strong enough though

If the nickel content of the panel is too high, magnetic objects won't stick. However, that being said, even if magnets can be attached, even a very strong magnet wouldn't be strong enough to hold your utensils.
