Does the block have 9 slots for only 7 knives?

Yes and No. Yes, the block has 9 slots above the steak knives but there are 6 knives and a sharpener. So....the 17 piece set I bought includes: 1 Wood Block, 1 Pr Kitchen Shears, 8 Steak Knives, 6 other Knives... AND 1 Sharpener (at upper rt hand corner). There ARE 9 slots altogether above the 8 steak knives housing the 6 knives and 1 sharpener. TWO SLOTS ARE INDEED OPEN (one large slot and one small slot). I easily concluded that this was in case the purchaser happened to have extra Calphalon knives on hand, which I did. So my block is filled beautifully.

The Block actually has 8 Knife slots and one for the Steel, as well as the 8 Steak knives.Hope that helps!

It does come with a few extra slots. I have found it useful if you had purchased a single knife at some point, you can add it to the block. That said, the standard knives in the set cover pretty much everything you need on a day to day basis.

We use it to hold 12 knives: three small paring knives, two 4" utility knives, one 4" wide-blade spreader, one 6" santuko, one 7" santuko, two 8" French, one 8" carving, and one 8" bread. It could easily hold more.

Supposed to hold 60 but that seems to put a strain on it.(elastic straps)..I have around 40 in mine and I purchased a extra one. 60 small knives may fit

So sorry for delay. Those slots are very snug and will only fit 1 knife each, very thin slots that hold the knives quite still.

I haven`t seen the forged knife block set, but I had a wooden knife block that took up more room than I wanted it to. This glass block takes up hardly any room and the knives are of very good quality. It allows me to save my Cut-Co knives for special occasions.

Yes it does. I just checked. We have a 12" chef's knife (that's a large-bladed chopping knife, right?) that we keep in the bamboo block.

Depending on the size of the knives, the bottom pockets can hold I think 6 to 8 large knives and the upper pockets can hold about 6 smaller knives. In my case, I used mine to store only fewer knives because I like more room to store my other tools, like the meat pounder, pizza cutter, garnishing tools and my measuring spoons. I really like the one I got because it's very durable and fits lots of my kitchen tools.

Since the holder has no slots it all depends on how close you slide the knives together. I have put knives in to test it and my answer would be 20 to 25 with room for 5 more, again depending on how close you put them together. I have purchased this as gifts and they also love theirs. We have have never had any kind of problem with ours to date. There are a few items like our coffee machine that if it broke we would purchase another the next day, I feel the same way about the Kapoosh knife holder.I do hope you found this helpful.

The short answer is as many as you want. Since there are no pre-sized slots, you can insert big knives, small knives, cleavers, scissors, and just about anything sharp. Watch this video for a visual explanation: http://youtu.be/oxryUJS_mu0They've expanded the color offerings beyond red and black. I hope you get one -- Enjoy!

It actually comes with I want to say 5 to seven steak knives, with spots for them in the knife block as well

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.

Yes. You get 3 of them and a set of steak knives and a fillet knife. I love mine, too.

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.

The 8 steak knife slots are 7/8" wide on my block. They are on about 1 1/8" centers (about 1/4" between each). The block is 4 3/4" total width. I'm very happy with mine.

I think they only come in sets of at least four. I had lost a couple over the years, so I just ordered four! Great knives!!

No, just a slot on one end. We don't use it, as we have a block holder for our knives.

Mine does. Bear in mind that different flatware patterns may be thicker than others; there are 8 slots with thick, high buffers between them, and 12 dinner knife slots to the top under where the over cloth is lying in the picture. There are no slots for butter knives. I have another drawer pad liner which I also got from Amazon that is larger, and has a different layout, but has the 8 slots for forks, spoons, etc., 12 slots for dinner knives and 12 slots for butter knives. I have been pleased with the performance of both of these. Remember knives slot on edge, and forks, spoons, etc. stack in their slots on their backs. Mine does.
