What is the longest knife that this block can hold?

The longest knife I have in the block has a 9" blade. In the upper slots, I would imagine you could have a knife with a blade a couple of inches longer without difficulty. Depending on the knives you have, you will want to check the widths of the blades as there is only one slot wide enough for my chef's knife with a wide blade.

It is flat and would generally stick to a 3M strip or similar product. But I would be wary as the constant force of pulling a knife off the block (as well as the general weight of your knives) might be too much for the block. This actually happened to me a few years ago.

The block top is 5 1/4" by 5 1/4". The longest inserted blade depth I have on a knife is 8".

The width of the slots varies, just like any knife block. It holds my 7" chef's knife, paring knife, utility knife, and bread knife. The two widest slots are 1-7/8" wide; the next widest is 1-1/4". It might not hold a 9" chef's knife, but otherwise, it should hold all of your cutlery.

Sorry for delay reply. The knife holder will hold a knife 17, maybe 18 inches long. The holder itself is 20 inches long. I hope this helps.

Depending on the actual thickness of the blade, it should. The biggest slot is 1/8 inch thick and 2.25 inches wide and at least 10 inches long (my longest knife, and it doesn't hit anything). I keep a 7" Santoku in the largest slot without issue, and with room to spare. I really like this knife block, and would recommend it if it holds the knife you need it to.

The block is 8" deep. I just measured our knives and a 8" chef's knife sticks out about 1/2". So a knife with a 7.5" blade would probably not stick out at all. I can't say enough about how happy we are with this knife block (I am not affiliated in any way with Bodun!).

Yes. At least three slots are 8" deep; one slot is over 11" deep (that holds my longest knife). In addition, I am pleased with the solidity of the product. It doesn't move even when I pull the sharpener steel; other blocks are not substantial enough.

Part of the blade will definitely stick out with normal use (at least 2").If it is the only knife in the block, and you insert it diagonally, then it may come close to covering the blade...

Largest slot is 4" with four 2" slots and rest smaller. Steak knives also fit very well. Very nice Knife block. Holds all my Japanese and German knives very well.

I bought this when I was replacing older knives, so I already had a knife block. Amazon sells knife blocks that fit in drawers or on counter. It is whatever works better for you. The knives are super super sharp so I wouldn't leave them unwraped in a drawer. The frustration free wrapping doesn't protect you if you were to keep it.

Just measured the block and it will hold a 9.750" X 2.25" blade at it widest and longest slot, sorry.

Are we discussing some professional Chef;s knives? It wont hold them as it is not wide enough for many of the longer knives. If it is for personal use, than maybe, but you will want to measure all of your pieces to ensure none are linger than 11.75 inches.

No, and I wish it did....mine are still sitting in the box they came in.... I've looked for a knife block too, with no success.

The widest part of the handle on the large chef's knife is about one inch thick. If you are just using a plain magnetic strip I don't think they hold well. If using one in a wooden base, I would give it a go. You need at least 1/2 inch clearance for the knives to sit properly. I keep mine in an old knife block, but the handles are so thick that I can't use the slot designed for each knife. Wish OXO made a knife block for them. OXO knives have always been some of the sharpest and long lasting that I have ever owned.

It can hold a cleaver. That is why I bought this block because we had a cleaver that needed a block!
