Abstract: 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.
