Can I insert a 7" wok without any blade sticking out
323660
No you can not put a 7 inch wok into this holder it is made for knifes not pans
323661
I have a 7" blade and about 1 inch sticks out. If I push it down really hard I can get it so about 1/4" sticks out.

I can insert a 7 inch serrated knife and no blade is sticking out. My Chinese 7 inch knife stickz out a little because it has a lip that prevents full insertion.

You got teased a bit� I hope you got the answers you needed. I love it. One reason is because it takes up considerably less space on the countertop. My 7 inch knives fit.

If a knife blade sticks out, just angle it instead of having it stick straight up. Then the blade will not be above the top of the base.

Looking at my knives ( I have a 7" gyuto, a 5" petty and a 9" sujihiki in this series) it appears that the bolster itself is bonded to the blade as a separate piece, although the fit and finish is very good and seamless. The blade and tang are one forged piece, just as in their "wa" Asian version. This is one of my two workhorse knives (admittedly for home cooking, not commercial). I have been very pleased - hope you will as well.

Not sure why my 7" is different, but it's slightly too large for my GrandPappy fryer. I bent the handle as far up as it would go, even employing tools to see if I could get the handle to go straight up and down on the side. No dice. It will only fit into the fryer if the basket is tipped up on one side to accommodate the slight width of the handle where it pokes out of the top ring. Since the mesh narrows at the bottom, that leaves only a small space to actually fry anything. Giving up and buying a spider.

That is one problem I did not have with the wok. The screw was just long enough to attach to the lid

Mine unit is the older style, so the bracket that holds the wok is different. I routinely use a 14" northern style pow wok on this and have zero issues except excess heat so I use welding gloves to protect my hands. I don't know what is up with the "soot" answer but this has never occurred with my unit so I think the other user has a problem issue with the air intake or something else.

You might be able to unscrew it. However it doesn't stick out far and i like it, but beware if you plan on using the knife holder mine came attached, but it was on up-side-down and there is no way you can turn it right side up so, any knives put in it would obviously fall out.

I wondered the same thing had no luck finding one, this thing is a beast no knife block i have ever heard of has a slot big enough for it either. A realy strong magnet strip might be the only way to keep the blade safe other than giving it its own drawer.

i've never not used a wok. It's hard to answer because it fits so nicely with one.

Yes and no. I have a 10" bread knife and it just fits in the top slot without protruding or being flush with the base. An 11" knife will fit but the tip will protrude out the base almost an inch. Due to the angle of the block there is ample clearance from the counter and the tip would not touch the counter, but it will not be protected by wood and a curious hand could contact the tip. I love the quality of the block, nice rubber feet. I have two 8" chefs knives in the top two right hand slots. The left squarish hole meant for a steel (which I don't own) is perfect for a pair of small pointy shears. Hope that helps. Yes and no.

There isn't any empty slot unless you purchased a different set. The set I own the knives all fit perfectly.

Mine was a flat bottom. However, I would suggest calling the Wok Shop - they are super nice and really helpful!

7inch blade yeah but if yours has ridge on spine of knife like most BK7 might pose a problem

Sorry I was quite wrong. I used a pair of calipers and it mikes out at 1mm exactly. This seems correct for a wok though. 2mm+ would be more a "skillet" and too heavy to lift. It is not flimsy, pretty solid. Sorry I hope this is helpful.

I am not sure since I don't have this particular wok myself.. I gave this as a gift to my daughter. She seasoned it, but never said anything about being concerned about the wooden parts in doing so. Although when I did get this item I did look in the box and the handles were not attached so I am thinking you could season it before you put the handles on.

NOT unless you want to cut the 2 sides. I think they make a shorter size... search for it.

NO, it has rounded edges and is too small for our smallest burner on our glass top stove, it's going back. Off course some off the bottom is flat, it's not a wok!

I have a MAC 6-12 inch Japanese vegetable cleaver, and it fits perfectly down into one of the slots with none of the blade being exposed, which might be dangerous. I also have a 7 inch meat cleaver in a wider space, and it also fits completely into its particular slot. I guess you could use your 7 inch veg. cleaver in the meat cleaver slot. You would just have space on either side of the veg. cleaver, if that wouldn't bother you. I hope this is clear and helps you.
