What are some examples of cleavers that fit in the cleaver slot? It seems that most cleavers are 3.5", and do not quite fit.

A cleaver that big would not fit in the slot easily. The largest slot is 3.4" with a l/4 " opening.

The blades are generally three fourths inches wide. At the hilt, it is not quite 5/8 inches wide. I have used this knife a lot and I'm glad I bought them.

There are different sized slots for different blades, I have a 7inch chefs knife that it holds perfectly and a 10in bread knife that works. Sorry if this doesnt help. For the price its a great block

The actual blade length is 3.5", that is the actual cutting area of the blade.

I don't have your set but I do have 2 others. The knives have their own slot for their size. Sometimes it just means you have to switch which way you have the blade pointing.Hope that helps.

You should have no issues. There is even enough height if you wanted to include a cleaver.

I sharpen my Ontario Knife Company Spec Plus Folder that I use this system for. It has a 4 inch blade and I see no reason why this system could not handle a 4.5 or 5 inch blade. I would not try longer than a 7 inch blade though.

I can't say for sure because neither item you listed gave width of the sword which would be the biggest factor. I use a real, metal katana in mine and it definitely has more room for a wider blade but I'm unsure how much wider. The straps are adjustable though.

I would like to be able to answer your question, but the block was a Christmas gift for my daughter-in-law and she was excited for the twenty slots for knives. She didn't mention the slot size. Sorry.

I believe I have one paring knife (my most used), one slightly larger, one about 4 inches and one about 5 inches. They all work very well and I am very happy with them.

I don't have a cleaver but I can stack my chefs knife and my santoku almost on top of each other. It is best for a smaller knife collection.

The blade is 1 13/16" wide or just a hair more than 1 3/4". It fits in the wide slots of the Wusthof knife block.

I've bought this cleaver & it's very sturdy, never measured the spine but it's worth the price. However it was smaller then what I expected. It doesn't come sharp. You'll have to Sharpen it your self or from someone who knows how. Mine is now razor sharp.

Two 1.0 inch width slots, four 1.5 inch width slots, two 2.0 inch width slots. Last slot I use for sharpener (irregular) slot.

From the center of one slot to the center of the next slot is approximately 3/8". I alternated sides when I inserted the blades, so if the slots are horizontal, one blade comes in from the right, the next from the left. That gives a bit more leeway if your handles are extra large. Agree with S.K. Polley... the blade of a butter knife fits nicely.

The widest slot is about 3.33 inches, maybe slightly larger, but definitely smaller than 3.5 inches.
