how wide are the slots and how wide a knife will the larger slots take?

The largest slot is 2 1/4 long. The size of the knife is a Wusthof Classic 4582/20cm or 8" long. We love it looks great in the kitchen on the island.

The sleds holds all different sizes. We have the 8" and 7" chef's knives, a Santoku knife, Carver, bread knife and even a Chinese cleaver in ours. The eight slots at the bottom hold steak knives.

I don't have such knife. But the biggest slot is 2 1/2"wide and 10" length. I guess it can be fit in

18" long, 12" wide, 3" thick. My husband the chef says it has too many knife slots and the thickness can be squished some.

.75x1.25x4" deep. It should work for folding knives as long as they are not much wider than an inch and a quarter.

I have a 10" extra wide chef, 8" chef, 7" santoku and 8 " bread knife in there with a 3.5, 4.5 and 5" paring at the bottom. Hope this helps!

No problem with knife slots... be aware, the color is not really walnut. It's like dark cherry.

I measured the slots and here is what I came up with: 3 @ 2" 1 @ 2 1/8" 2 @ 1 1/4" 1 @ 1 1/2" 2 @ 1" The scissor slot is 1 5/8" wide The hole for the sharpening steel is 5/8" square These numbers are very precise. For instance, a 2 1/4" blade would not fit in the 2 1/8" slot. I have a combination of Shun, Wusthoff and Henckels knives in my block. Good luck!

I have 3 standard (6 and 2 8" chefs knives in the blocks and they fit fine. dont think they go much wider than that.

The knife is 3-1/4" wide x 8" long. I have no idea what the other dimensions are referencing.

If you mean how wide are the slots, they're approximately 5" wide. Hope this answers your question.

Although there is one 2.25" slot the are three 1.75" and couple of 2" slots the Shun block has 3 2.25 " slots so for large knives I think the Shun block is a better choice.

The slotsThe slots are 5 1/2 long and 1 1/2 wide. Well fitted for bagels, etc. We're very happy with it.

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.

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 about the later reply. No. The deepest slot is the top slot (cleaver) which is about 10 1/8" deep. The second slot down, which will take about a 1 1/2 wide blade is 9 7/8" deep. The third slot down, also 1 1/2" wide is 9 1/4" deep. You should also know that the slots are cut all the way through so you can add about 1/8" depth to all of the slot if you don't mind that the tip of your knives will be resting on the counter. Hope this helps.

With the Pronto I use 4-5 passes in each slot. The knife is very sharp-use paper towel to wipe away burrs.I use this for my 12" & 3" Global knives.
