how many knives does it hold?

I have a peeling, small chef, large chef, east/west, boning, bread and carving knife in mine. (Seven) The only complaint I have is that I have to put the three biggest knife on an angle despite the depth supposedly being 1cm longer than the longest knife. It looks ok though.

Depends on how big your knives are. If the handles are really skinny you can probably fit maybe 30 knives? It holds all I could ever think of putting in there. I love it!! I have Henckels knives and it probably fits 12 - 20. I don't know for sure because I have never been able to fill it up. Hope this helps!

I have not use it as my apartment is still under renovation. However, I have roughly placed some knives in it & concluded that it can hold up to 8 max, depending on the sizes & nothing more than 25cm long (blade only).

Realistically the block will hold 11 knives, 5 on the bottom tier and 6 on the top. Any more would be unpractical. To hold 15 knives, all would have to be very small and the top tier would be very crowded.I have found the 5 on the bottom and 6 on top setup to be very functional with my current array of larger knives on the bottom and smaller knives on the top. I used assorted drawer dividers to keep the knife block in place and am very happy with it.

It holds 2 paring knives, a boning knife, a Santoku knife, a ten inch chefs knife, a carving knife, a bread knife, a sharpening tool and a serrated all purpose knife...it is perfect!

it depends on the size of the knives - and the size of the handles of the knives, but the rack holds quite a few knives. btw...i ordered a second one for scissors, and miscellaneous items

Yes, we have two 8" chefs knives and a large sharpening steel in ours with plenty of room. I am really very happy with this item. It has a large capacity and it looks great.

It holds 12 place settings. You can't tell in the picture but there are six more knife-blade slots between the blades of the knives shown; you'd alternate the direction of each knife if you had 12. (Also, if you have just the basic 5-piece place settings as I do, it has room for other items, such as serving pieces.)

I've never filled it up. It depends how fat the handles are. You really can fit as many as you can jam in there. I would say it would hold a minimum of 10 knives and maybe up to 30 if you had really skinny handles.

Yes, it's 15. I still love mine, but I will say that the knives tend to fall out of the top section when I open it, no matter how careful I am. The holders must be in the wrong place or too loose. I'm still glad I got it because it's so sturdy and attractive, but I wish it didn't have this design flaw.

I use it to hold 15 knives,one kitchen shears and one sharpening steel, and there is room for more. I am quite happy with it.

I have about 10 knives in mine, ranging from a large butcher knife, down to steak knives. It depends on the size of the blades on your knives. Hope this helps!

Really depends on the knifes you will putting in it. I would say about 20 steak knifes close together.

Hello Elizabeth. This chest was purchased as a gift so I really can't say if it can hold a setting for 16. I have seen the setting of 12 in the chest and there may be some room for extras. The drawer gives extra space so I'm sure you would find space for the extra 4 knives. Best of luck to you. It's a lovely piece.

Obviously, it depends upon the size of the knives. But assuming a collection of "normal" knives, is will hold six to eight.

Four open slots. Having neither extra knives I could not say positively but I would imagine that they both could fit in any of the open slots.

It depends. I currently have about 15 in it, ranging in sizes. I have about 6 large knives, a bread knife, 4 small paring knives and a few misc. knives. After a while it does freak out and bend the little black pieces, you have to take it out and floof them around to get it back to normal again.

I have over a dozen in mine - two 8-inch chef's, two 8-inch santoku, one six-inch santoku, one six-inch boning knife, eight steak knives, two paring knives, and one cheese knife. The block is great if you have a lot of shorter knives, especially the kinds you almost never sharpen. My larger, sharper knives have decimated the "fingers".
