Kitchen Mod :)

I ordered a new magnetic knife holder, doesn't it look great?  Not only is it functional, I love the way it looks.

Kuchenprofi 14-Inch Magnetic Knife Rack in 18/10 Stainless Steel

I had my smaller knives in a kitchen drawer and the long knife in my "kitchen gadget holder" shown below - a container I got at Michael's when I was living in my condo.  I used to put my favorite "fat quarters" in it when I was quilting.  It has a high rounded lid, so it's great for things like my strainer and steamer.  They are rounded, too, so I put them on the top of the spatulas, wisks, large spoons, garlic grater, wine bottle opener, etc. That large knife barely fit from one bottom corner to the opposite lid top, so I'm glad to have another place to put it.

I love having my knives close at hand, and this frees up some space in my kitchen drawer.

This is the first time I've screwed anything into my rig. I really didn't want to - I love the original coach and don't want to make any permanent changes.  At least not now.  But this seemed like such an obvious space saver and with the weight of the knives, the holder wouldn't stay on the wall with just Velcro strips.  So I had to use screws to attach it.  


See the knives on the right, on the wall? I lined the handles up - OCD anyone? :)

So far I love it, and we'll see what happens when I'm on the road.  Will the knives stay on the magnetic strips?
