The implement holder is intended specifically for knives and a sharpener known as a round sharpening steel and is of the type which is attached to a surface and holds the implements magnetically with the broad surfaces of the knives essentially normal to the mounting surface so that the capacity and safety of the holder are considerably greater for the space required than is possible when the knives are held with their broad surfaces essentially parallel to the mounting surface. The cost of manufacturing the subject holder is low relative to (1) the security of the implement retention, (2) a selected capacity, (3) the quality in terms of aesthetics and the basic materials used and (4) adaptability to various sizes and shapes of knives. The holder may be positioned horizontally and hold the implements vertical or positioned vertically and hold the implements horizontal or at any intermediate angle.

A holder for knives and the like to be mounted on a mounting surface and comprising: a body having a first end, a second end, a long dimension extending from said first end to said second end, a mounting face, a cavity having a cross section and extending from said first end to said second end and at least one slot oriented essentially perpendicular to said mounting face and said long dimension, said at least one slot having a width and a first face and extending part way through said body toward said mounting face and intersecting said cavity, said body being mountable with said mounting face against said mounting surface; means for attaching said body to said mounting surface with said mounting face against said mounting surface; at least one fastener having an outer surface having a portion farthest from said at least one slot; at least one magnetic means sized to fit in said cross section of said cavity, having a working face, a center, a hole through said center, said hole having a diameter and a wall with a portion of said wall farthest from said working face and a distance between said working face and said portion of said wall farthest from said working face and said at least one magnetic means positioned in said cavity with said working face essentially coplanar with said first face of said at least one slot and being retained in said at least one slot and being retained in said cavity by said at least one fastener inserted into said body perpendicular to said mounting face extending through said hole and said cavity; whereby, with said body attached against said mounting surface by said means for attaching with said mounting face against said mounting surface, a knife or the like of ferromagnetic material inserted into said at least one slot is engaged by said at least one magnetic means and thereby held.
