Frequently asked questions about CIRKA
How many knives does each CIRKA hold?
Each CIRKA holds one knife.
Does it stick to tile?
Yes!
Can I remove it without damaging the wall?
Yes – the adhesive is strong, but can be removed with the help of sewing thread. Simply guide the thread between the knife holder and the wall and "saw" it off. Then peel away any remaining tape from both the wall and the holder. You can order new adhesive from us if you want to reposition your holders.
