Are these magnets strong enough to hold a weighty meat cleaver (I have a Henckels cleaver)? Would you trust them not to let the cleaver slip?

Unless that cleaver is made of metals less attractive to magnets (some stainless steels are like that, for instance) these magnets will have absolutely no problem holding it up. I tested mine with a 14" Henckels fry pan (inductive rated) and a 12" heavy cast iron skillet, and a single magnet was enough to hold either one VERY securely! That cast iron skillet is far heavier than any normal kitchen utensil I'd think to hang on one of these, so I'm sure it will hold any "normal" item with no worries.

I love to cook and have lots of knives. These magnets are incredibly strong. I tested it with my 3 year old who could not even pull off what I put on. I highly recommend these. East install and decorative too.

Yes. Super strong. Not too strong so one can't pull node off but you really have to commit to pulling them off. They really are good. My previous ones ( different brand) did not hold very good - these are heavy duty and heavy. The magnet is so good that it's tricky putting them on the wall as the metal place holds super tight that it was difficult to seperate for installation.

Yes, they are VERY strong! I love them. I'd like to send you some photos if you need.

Trust me, they're strong enough to pull the cleaver from your hand. It won't slip.
1338826
Absolutely. These magnets are incredibly strong. We have several large wustof knives and they've never come close to slipping. The magnets look great, too.

Yes, they are! Love the Eva Solo Knife holders! I put two large knives (blades facing in towards one another) as well... Very good product! Will buy again for next home.

They should be strong enough, I have never had a problem with any of the Grabit products. I have used it to pull out stripped bolts off my old motorcycle.

I did not measure them but what I can tell you is, I have used many magnets before but I have not used any as strong as these. With your hands, if you get them any closer than 1/2 inch apart you cannot hold them back.

For me, the magnets are very strong. Like all magnets, they work best if attached to solid, thick iron or steel. Mine is attached to one of the frames underneath. A metal alloy, or iron/steel with a thick covering (like rust-proofing) will weaken the bond.

I just got these - the plates themselves are _not_ magnetized. e.g., they will _not_ stick to a fridge by themselves. Also, as "CC" said above, they are light and thin ("very" light and thin!), and they stick like glue to a mag mount.

I think they will be strong enough. I am using ceramic pieces glued to some of them and they are holding strong. I mostly am crocheting little miniature hats and dresses for them, but having no trouble with the heavier ceramic pieces. They are holding stronger than any magnets I have ever used. Hope this helps.

They might not hold them tightly enough and may fall off and annoy you. For that, I might recommend a larger climbing carabiner. Hope this helps.

I think they would be very strong. I only have 1 of these magnets, and it is very powerful. If I stick it to a metal door jam or metal pipe, it is EXTREMELY difficult to remove. I have placed a metal file on top of a 3/4" thick c-top and with the magnet on the underside of the top it moves the file easily. I've also stuck it to my 24' tape measure hanging on my jean pocket and then stuck my 18 volt Hitachi cordless drill to "It". Just examples of how powerful this magnet is. I use it to find metal studs in the wall for installing cabinets in the commercial field, and absolutely love it. I don't know if this helps you but with the 2 magnets pulling toward each other on the 1" glass with the pad between, I think it would work.

I would say no. They are small, for cabinet doors ...don't think they would be strong enough

It depends on how strong your magnetic strip is. I bought my strip on eBay. It's made of oak & has very strong magnets. These knives stick fine with the blade guards on.

If that metal base is considered magnetic, meaning it's made of iron, these magnets will work. They are amazingly strong, which is shocking given how small they are. To be fair, the magnets on the back of those letters rarely stick to anything. These magnets are small enough and strong enough I believe they will work well. I use them to make my own magnets and I'm often shocked by what they stick to. The issue I see, is that there is a warning on them. They are so strong they will snap together. Mine have never shattered, but I have heard they will. They are very good magnets, though. I would have given them more than 5 stars if I could have. :) Good luck!

it's a pretty strong magnet, but not sure about hanging with the knives hanging down like that...if they fall off...oh boy. We have it mounted on the wall and they stay at that position very well...sometimes it's even hard to pull them off... but, again I would be worried if it's under the cabinet. If the knife was lite weight...maybe....
1573529
Yes. I have all my knives on them, even my largest and heaviest. They are quite strong.

You will, but they won't hold as well as they would in tubular climbing webbing. This stuff is pretty slick, so if you're planning on using it for any weight-bearing purposes I wouldn't trust it.

I haven't made jewelry with them yet but unless you pull on the links (I mean grab a handful of link and tug) they aren't going to budge. I'm currently making a vest and the thing hasn't pulled itself apart with its own weight so you should be fine. You certainly can't manipulate these just with fingers or teeth (sorry for the image).

I believe that they are not magnetic. The refridge is my grandsons so I can not check to see if they are

I don't own this set but I do own the cuisinart set like it with plastic blade guards. They hang on our ikea magnetic knife strip on the wall without any issues. If the knife is made of steel, the thin plastic guard doesn't inhibit the magnet from attaching the knife to it at all :)
