I would like to put a magnetic knife holder up in the kitchen because I can't stand the knife block. I would like one made in the USA, I found one from Udge/Lure that is walnut with a special coating on it that makes it waterproof, odor-proof, etc. I do not have expensive knives. This one uses 3M VHB mounting tape. Has good reviews. Any others that are USA made? I would prefer stainless steel. What are the pros & cons?

I have one I bought off Amazon years ago. It screws in under the cabinet. Works well until you bump a knife handle. That doesn't happen often though. Overall I've been very happy with it. I use a chef's knife for most things and I like I can just grab it. No opening a draw at trying to pull it out of a knife block.
If you mount it on the wall you shouldn't have that problem. My kitchen didn't really have any wall space that wasn't a cabinet where it was convenient.

We have a freestanding model as I didn’t want to drill into the glass tile backsplash and all the ones I found didn’t have a flat back such that I could use the 3M tape or Command strips. So far I like it.

I don't think you'll find stainless as it isn't magnetic unless it has very little nickel (the metal that makes it not rust).

Just another idea, will a inside drawer block work? We have one from William Sonoma. Can stack 2 layers of knives if you need to and saves a ton of space. I have the regular use knives on the lower section, a couple of steak knives on top. It's not really 2 levels, but offset so you can 'layer' the knives if that makes sense. Opened up a ton of space on the counter top.
