what size knife fits in this? Thank you everyone for your answers, some very informative others just the bare information. All were welcome for this question. Just an FYI I have purchased a 8.5 inch( 210 mm) Kuro Uchi Gyuto style Chef knife and wasn't...

Any gyutou style chef knife that is 8" 210 mm or close if bigger the pin will not set it may be loose for your knife but the idea still works the wood wicks moisture away from the blade ( clean and dry knife thoroughly before putting it in the cover) do not wrap with tape or anything because the wood will buckle as it expands or contracts but it will protect the edge and help minimize carbon stains in high carbon knives

Sorry, this was a gift. I thought the measurements were included? It fit a 6 inch knife in my case.

I used a German made stainless steel carving knife that is 3/4 inch wide and tapers down to a point The depth measured 5 1/2 inches. My longest steak knife blade is 4 3/4 inches and it fit as far as the handle would allow. I think you will be ok.

The short answer is it's a BIG knife. I have been meaning to actually measure it for you, but I can't seem to remember when I'm home. My apologies. The handle is about 3-4 inches long as it fits well in my hand and I have tiny hands. I would estimate that the blade is about twice that from hilt to tip, so 7-8 inches.

My Victorinox French Chef knife is more like 8.5 inches but is does fit in the knife safe, and it closes, just barely.

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. Hope that helps! I see someone replied for the dimensions. I wrote a review about preventing the rods from splitting and bending.

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!

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.

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.

My wife and I have one of those as well. Unfortunately it doesn't fit very well. The best knives to keep in it are Chef's, boning, paring or other long, thin bladed knives.

None of my knives are that long, but measuring from the back to the front, it's about 16.5 inches long so your knife would probably fit without issue.

why is this a question on every knife i look at on amazon? it clearly states the answer in the description. is it too much to simply google the manufacturer's website and find out for yourself if you already cant read the amazon description? do you even know what full tang means?

A fun project at 0500. Our Chinese chef's knife is 3/32" and fits snugly. Our bread knife is just short of 2/32" and is ideal. We do not have an electric knife but my our son's is a double-bladed thing and would not fit. Hope this is of help.

alot of wrong size answers here.. Here is the sizesHere is basically what you have:1 - 1 3/8"2 - 1 7/8"2 - 7/8"1 - 1"2 - 1 1/4"these are exact sizes, see my posted response in other area for how to widen your slots to be able to accept much larger knives.. I own Shun Edo, and they are WIDE.. i own 2 of the blocks with a modded one.. nothing better on the market in my opinion

Don't have the knife on me. However, you cud subtract the total length from the blade length to get an approximation. (I guess the blade length is the length of the cutting edge), hence the approximation. But it fits well in the 5th pocket of a Levi's

That is not what I bought it for, I had a sushi chef tell me it was a good knife, but he didn't state whether it was something he would've used or not. I think sushi knives have sharper tips, but don't quote me I know nothing about the art of Sushi.
