Kitchen tile wall: how to mount a knife rack
I just bought a knife rack for my kitchen in my rental apartment; it's designed to be put on the wall, and knives stick to it magnetically:
It's 20 inches (50 cm) long and weighs 1.5 lbs (700g).
Here is the tile wall in my kitchen:
Here is the back side of the rack. Note that the back is not flat, making it a bit more challenging to use an adhesive.
As you can see, it is intended to be drilled into the wall, but since my apartment is a rental I don't want to damage the wall. Does anyone have a recommendation, like a particular adhesive?

Go to a hardware store and in the tape section, look for a super strong rated velcro. It should have both the hook and loop side to it. You can screw the holder to a piece of wood inset into the groove and then stick on the velcro. On the wall, make sure there is not any grease residue on the wall and place where you desire.
