I was looking around at magnetic knife strips and they offerings seem to be pretty slim. A lot of them have exposed metal which I imagine can't be very good for the knives. I was thinking about making my girlfriend one out of solid wood (maybe something exotic like Zebrawood) and embedding very strong neodymium magnets thorough the back, so the only thing exposed for the knife to meet is the wood itself. Does anyone sell anything like this?
I don't have much experience with cooking. If you guys who are more knowledgable had carte blance to custom design a very stylish looking exotic wood magnetic knife holder, what would be important to you? How wide should it be and how much offset from the wall for handle clearance? How many knives would you like it to hold? I appreciate the help...I'll make sure to post pics if I end up making the piece for her (I'm a woodworker).
