I'm currently waiting on a custom knife board to come - I live in a condo and kitchen counter space is at a premium, so wall mountable is the way to go. In the interim I decided to pick one up on amazon that attaches to the wall with adhesive so I can remove it when the new board arrives. I already have a stainless steel rack mounted with adhesive for my cheaper knives - I've never had issues with it but I ordered a wooden one so I wouldn't scratch or damage my good knives (oh the irony).
About 3 days after I set up the new wooden rack, I'm in the kitchen getting ready to start dinner and I begin to hear a kind of peeling sound. I turn my head and I see the knife rack 3/4 off the wall, peeling getting louder, and within 1 or 2 seconds, boom! The whole rack, knives included, falls on my ceramic kitchen floor with a huge crash.
I had my Kikumori Choyo k petty, Hitohira Togashi gyuto, Moritaka gyuto, and my favorite knife, Tsukasa Hinoura rainbow nakiri on the rack when it fell. Instinctively (and looking back, very stupidly) I shot my hand out as the rack was falling - luckily I didnt get hurt at all and I was able to essentially pin the Togashi against the wall as the rest of the knives fell.
Sadly there is some pretty bad damage - the Togashi and Moritaka are fine, but the tip of the choyo broke off, and the Hinoura got some pretty strange damage. Part of the edge broke (couldnt get a clear photo but would be an easy fix after re-edging) but there is some damage on the flat front/tip of the Nakiri (not sure what that spot is called). The Choyo and Hinoura were next to eachother on the rack, so I'm thinking maybe the tip of the Choyo hit the Hinoura in that spot. Regardless of what happened, I'm confident I can get the choyo fixed but I'm wondering if the damage on the Hinoura is fixable?
I will be taking them both to get professionally worked on as this is far out of my skill set, but wondering if anyone can provide some guidance or (hopefully) reassurance
I'll also post a link of the knife board so you guys can avoid - its actually advertised as mountable with the adhesive. 100% do mot recommend
