Thanks guys, great job! Any more ideas? Keep 'em coming!

Before I did the "cage of dowels" I had a magnetic bar under the
cupboards. Knocking the handle of a knife meant it fell, though.
Perhaps rare earth mags wouldn't have that problem.

What about inside a cupboard door? Magnet mount?

Lift up part of the countertop? Pull out like a cutting board?

Under cabinet pull down? Here's a commercial version

necessary brackets

(I've seen them in brass somewhere but can't find them now).
