 Just what I needed!Feb 17, 2009
By R. Denny
My kitchen is small and I wanted to get rid of the bulky knife block on the counter, freeing up some space. This magnetic strip works great and looks good. My husband installed it for me and is something of a perfectionist; he wasn't pleased with the screws that came with it, so he used some other ones.

 Great magnets, crappy mounting systemJan 05, 2011
By R. Atkins
The problem with the mounting system is that it's too easy for the endcaps to slip off of the screws. Instead of the screws going completely through the endcaps (or the bar itself, for that matter), the endcaps slide onto the screws. Basically this means that you have to mount one endcap to the wall, tighten it, slide the bar over the endcap, and then slide the remaining endcap both into the bar and over the other screw (meaning you can't tighten the second screw). Unless you get them exactly right, the bar has about 1/4 inch of play and slides back and forth, and because the endcaps are not particularly tight, this means that pushing one end can push the opposite endcap off the screw. I was tempted to drill holes through the bar and use some very long screws with heads that I could make flush with the surface. This was a little more work than I wanted today, though.
And yes, the mounting hardware is inadequate. They provided the weirdest, most useless wall anchors I've ever seen. They're not tapered, so they can fall into the wall quite easily if your drilled hole is even slightly too large. Even after using my own screws and anchors, I was uncomfortable with the amount of movement, so I hot-glued the entire thing to the wall; that won't keep it from falling, but it did reduce the wiggling.
It holds knives perfectly, but Norpro should come up with a different mounting solution. I took off 2 stars for the poor mounting solution and hardware.

very niceMay 28, 2010
By J. Cavaretta
The knife holder is very nice. It works well, tension is just about perfect for keeping the knives secure and not being too difficult to pull off. Looks good, and unlike the other reviewers i found the wall anchors and screws to be perfectly capable. Good buy.

Norpro 18 inch Aluminum Knife BarMar 27, 2010
By Steven F. Giardina
"Steve"
This is a great product. I bought 2 and put them side by side. They fit perfect. The only thing bad is the hardware(screws and wall plugs) they provide with them. I have a lot better quality wall plugs and larger screws I used of my own. They mounted a lot stronger and no worries. Make sure to have a level handy.

Poor hardware includedNov 22, 2010
By Ruby
Good product. Poor screws and anchors. For a product that is holding sharp knives it is upsetting that they would not include sturdy hardware. I installed this with the hardware provided and had to uninstall and to it again with much sturdier anchors and screws.
