Magnetic knife holder

[Lorien]

Just slapped this together for my wife's birthday. Nice piece of upcycled walnut. Totally unclutters our counter top

Rare earth magnets imbedded in the wood? That a nice size.

I don't recognize any Lorien knives on it though and that fly swatter thingy - bet it won't cut.

I ripped a pocket in the back with my table saw and a chisel. There's probably about 1/4" of wood between the magnet and the things stuck to it.
There was a Kershaw display case which I kept for years from back when I sold pocket knives at the bike shop, which had a couple bar magnets in it. I've had them for well over ten years! Some people say I'm a hoarder, but I'm just someone who can't throw things away

There are actually three knives that I made hanging on that thing, and one that I designed which Charles Vestal made. Don't be swattin flies with my spatula!

well, that idea is not unique to me! It's open source
you'll be glad you did it, though. Man, I am loving all the additional counter space

Please email the wall space, so I can justify making one.
