Does is really hold 15 knives?

I have found the 5 on the bottom and 6 on top setup to be very functional with my current array of larger knives on the bottom and smaller knives on the top.

Yes it holds a lot of knives we have 5 large kitchen knives and 6 smaller ones in ours.

Can anyone provide a picture of how the knives are placed in this thing? Thanks.

It does hold 15 depending on the size. You can also use a slot for two knives. The handles are always handy.

Realistically the block will hold 11 knives, 5 on the bottom tier and 6 on the top. Any more would be unpractical. To hold 15 knives, all would have to be very small and the top tier would be very crowded.I have found the 5 on the bottom and 6 on top setup to be very functional with my current array of larger knives on the bottom and smaller knives on the top. I used assorted drawer dividers to keep the knife block in place and am very happy with it.

It totally depends on the size of the knives and even the width of their handles. It has three layers of slots and five large knives with big handles will fit on the bottom row. But as to how many you could get in the next two rows depends if some of your large knives are intruding onto the upper row. It's hard to explain, and I realize the photo you're looking at doesn't help much. I knew I didn't have 15, so I wasn't bothered by that claim. It easily holds the 10 I do have, and I could fit in a couple more small paring knives. Unlike the negative review below, I love this holder. I measured my drawer carefully before I purchased and the dimensions shown are correct, so it fit my drawer fine and it's beautiful wood. If you really do have 15 knives and many of them are large, you might be better off with a vertical block-type holder that would sit on the counter. But since I like to keep my knives out of sight, yet protected properly since they are good quality, this product was a great solution at a good price for me.

It holds more than 15. I Bought two and they fill my drawer perfectly. I also have my steak knives in them. What a great purchase.

Knife sharpening and angles is something I've not quite got the hang of but research showed 15. I'll go with that but don't take it to the bank.

Four open slots. Having neither extra knives I could not say positively but I would imagine that they both could fit in any of the open slots.

No there is 4 steak knifes, 2 small knifes, 1 mid sized, Large bread knife,and a huge chop knife. Scissors and a sharpener

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.

Hi Elizabeth, This chest will hold all of the pieces for 16 except for the 4 extra knives. I just lay mine down in front of the other silverware pieces in the top of the box. In the drawer below I have all of the serving pieces plus ice tea spoons that I purchased separately. The serving pieces are oversized but fit in nicely by placing butter knives and sugar spoons in between the slots. I just love this chest, it is so beautiful and functional.

I have 13 different sizes (some of the smaller ones doubled up in a slot) and a scissors plus 8 steak knives in mine with no problem.

The drawer has 10 slots which will hold dinner knives although only the two end slots will hold a dinner knife securely. You could place two knives in each of the wider slots if the knives were placed nose to tail in each slot. The nose to tail configuration will also hold the knives in place. Hope this helps. With 24 knives you won't have much room for serving pieces. If I remember correctly there is a two drawer version available.

I have not use it as my apartment is still under renovation. However, I have roughly placed some knives in it & concluded that it can hold up to 8 max, depending on the sizes & nothing more than 25cm long (blade only).

Yes. That is how I have mine installed and it holds a chefs knife, 10" bread knife and a 5" knife.

No, At most it would hold a filet knife across all three spaces. Pocket knife only.

Yes the set is complete. No they don't give you enough knives to fill all the slots on the block. There's space to add a cleaver, as well as another large knife. 20 slots in total, 18 knives in this set (18 knives + 1 block = 19 piece set).

It holds 12 place settings. You can't tell in the picture but there are six more knife-blade slots between the blades of the knives shown; you'd alternate the direction of each knife if you had 12. (Also, if you have just the basic 5-piece place settings as I do, it has room for other items, such as serving pieces.)

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 area where you stack spoons and forks can hold 16 as a limit, but there are only 12 slots for knives.

Yes, it's 15. I still love mine, but I will say that the knives tend to fall out of the top section when I open it, no matter how careful I am. The holders must be in the wrong place or too loose. I'm still glad I got it because it's so sturdy and attractive, but I wish it didn't have this design flaw.
