How deep is the block or what is the length of the longest blade that can be stored without the blade showing over the top of the block.

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!).

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.

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.

I gave this away as a gift, but as best as I can recall each blade is only about 2 to 2.5 inches long. When they both fold out the total lenght is the 7.5" listed. The handle is not really big enough to hold in your hand with both blades extended.

Not sure, but my knives (bought without the block) are marked with 3L12M stamped on the blade near the handle. You may need a magnifier glass to read it. At least I did. My measurements are the same as Patricia S McAfee's as is the description.

The blade is about 3 1/4. Over all it is 7 5/8 in long and closed it is 4 1/4

I've got about 8 in mine. Only problem is some have to go on an angle as they are longer than the block is deep despite the measurement quoted. Knives do not go all the way to the bottom.

The knife block is 9 inches tall. With my knives in it it is 12 inches tall. Of course I need more than 12 inches so that I can remove the knives from the block.

Slots are open at both ends, so if you raised the block you'd have VERY long slots though with knife tips sticking out of them. If you use the block conventionally, the shortest slots (nearest the base) are 6", the longest slots (at top of block) are 8-3/8". Note that the rubber legs raise the block and give you another 1/8" or so except for second longest slot pair whose bottom openings are partially blocked by a pair of rubber legs (the legs COULD be moved, if absolutely necessary). Another poster mentioned the instability of the block when loaded with heavy-handled knives - he is correct.

3" from top of handle to top of cutting band. I believe there is a model with a longer handle with a wooden "holding" area. However I have only used these 3" shorter ones. I feel the shorter model helps keep it steady while you're pressing down for your chopping. Was afraid the longer handle would "wobble" or wear out faster. Hope this helps.

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 over all length is about 7". I will also let you know this is a great knife, never looses its edge.

I see someone replied for the dimensions. I wrote a review about preventing the rods from splitting and bending. As of today, I have yet to bend one or see any shavings coming out of my block using the care I described. I love mine still! It looks great on my counter... If it helps, for large knives I have a chef knife, a santoku, a bread knife, a utility knive and two slicing knives. I have 4 smaller knives, two of which are paring knives. I also have two pairs of kitchen shears. I wouldn't put anything else in it. The largest blades do stick out a little but it's never been an issue. There is enough room that things wiggle in easily.

No...probably the longest knife you could store is a 300mm and I'm not even 100% sure that would work. I store 270mm knives in mine and they get fairly close to hitting the bottom. My guess is that you will probably not find any countertop block that will hold a knife that long. You will most likely have to stick with a wall strip or keep it in a drawer.

The top two slots are 2 inches wide, max, so a 2 1/4 inch blade would be too wide. Too bad, because it's a nice block.

Just measured it. It is 7" long for the cutting edge. The TOTAL length of the blades are 11" long. The first 3" go into the handle and then there's about 1" that is the blocking guide, so you can't push them in any farther. That leaves you with 7" of the cutting blade. I really like this knife, it has a good feel and balance to it. Hope this helps you. S.R.

I don't own a Shun TDM0743 but I have a huge 10" Sabatier stored in the block so I see no problem with the width of the blade you have in question. Very nice block by the way.
