Review of Global 20-Inch Knife Storage Wall Magnet

I got this for our Global collection.I read the other reviews, and decided to buy this, even though you can find magnets for much less.When it arrived, I realized it was too heavy to go only into drywall (my opinion.)With all the tugging from knives coming off, it needed to be in studs.The magnet is not able to go into two studs set at normal distance, so we had to mickey mouse a solution - a piece of solid wood screwed into the studs, and then the magnet screwed into that.The magnet looks as it is floating.Much handier than a wood block, and looks great!

Cleaning Information! Sharpening Information! User Guide! More Information on Global Knives: The two most innovative features of Global knives are their edge and the way they are balanced. The most important feature of any knife is its edge, and the Global edge is truly its signature. The majority of the Global knives are sharpened or ground on both sides of the blade like western style knives. However, their edges are ground straight to a point rather than beveled resulting in a dramatically sharper knife which stays sharper longer. The edge is so large and prominent that it is easily seen with the naked eye and extends a quarter inch or more up from the tip of the knife. To balance their knives, Global uses a hollow handle which is then filled with just the right amount of sand to create the correct balance. Global uses this method rather than using a full tang and a bolster to balance their knives for two reasons. First, it is a far more precise than using a tang and a bolster. Second, Asian knives typically do not have bolsters, since they only serve as a hindrance to cutting and sharpening. Other unique features of Global knives are their smooth contours and seamless, all stainless steel construction which eliminates food and dirt traps offering the ultimate in safety and hygiene.
