Reddit mentions of MIU France Stainless Steel Magnetic Knife Bar, 15-Inch

You can attach it to the wall if you want. I wanted something a little more mobile. Its really sturdy so I would say, since you are renting, don't attach it to the wall.

The knife holder was the most exciting new addition to my apartment! The thing is awesome! Here's the link

I decided that I'd procrastinated long enough and finally took the plunge and bought a decent chef's knife. First impressions are WOW... this thing is an absolute pleasure to cut with. But now I need to get a decent cutting board, wood preferably, one that will be kind to my new knife.

Edit, as a summation from all the advice here, and my size needs, I decided on this Ironwood Gourmet Acacia Wood Square End Grain Chef's Board. My kitchen is very tiny, or I would have gotten the larger one.

In accordance with NotYourMothersDildo's suggestions I'm also getting one of these J.A. Henckels Twin Four Star 10-Inch Honing Steel

As for a place to put them, I'm grabbing one of these MIU 3527 15-Inch Stainless-Steel Magnetic Knife Bar Holder and just because I need a paring knife too, I'm getting one of these Zwilling J.A. Henckels Twin Four Star 4-Inch High-Carbon Stainless-Steel Paring Knives

Thank you all for your advice :-) I'll wait another hour or two incase I get better suggestions, but these are all the items in my cart at the moment....well not 'all' but the ones pertaining to this thread.

Is it bad in any other way than if you remover/replace the knives incorrectly? I'd been told that as long at you start with the back of the knife and roll forward to replace (and roll out to the spine to remove) it's ok. Are there other dangers? Or is it still bad for them with the way I described? I'm not slamming them up or anything, very gentle... but I bought my first two nice knives and want to take care of them... I'm using this type of holder. Is this wrong?
