Another kitchen knife thread. Since Wife, soon to be ex-Wife, is in the process of leaving the house, I thought it a good time to let her have the Chicago Cutlery chef knife she ruined and get myself something fairly decent, since she won't be here to abuse it. I really mostly only use a 6" chef's knife for everything, so now I have a Henckels Pro-S coming in that size. Probably will get a paring knife sometime down the road, but I don't seem to go looking for one very often. Anyway, since Wife won't be here to throw knives helter-skelter in the kitchen drawer (after taking them out of the dishwasher), I decided I can put up a knife rack (must be out of reach of five-year-old short person). My mind naturally jumped right to a magnetic knife rack, but I started wondering if it might impart some magnetism to the blade, and if that might be a bad thing, probably being attractive to rust particles, tuna can lids, and other stuff I'd rather not have impede my cutting. (I suppose I could also worry that the pull of the magnets would start tugging the edge over, too, but that seems like the least of my problems, probably not as much force as, say, actually cutting something.) (Also, FWIW, I'd likely make a magnetic rack that has the magnets embedded in a slab of wood, rather than have the blade get all scraped up by being dragged across a strip of metal.) Am I better off avoiding magnets, or is this just silliness? I've got some other ideas in mind for possible racks that don't use magnets, but the magnets would probably be the easiest thing.
