How many knives does it hold?
283105
it depends on the size of the knives - and the size of the handles of the knives, but the rack holds quite a few knives. btw...i ordered a second one for scissors, and miscellaneous items
283106
I have 16, including 2 chef knives, scissors, and a sharpener. Includes other large knives and could get more in if I wanted.
283107
The short answer is as many as you want. Since there are no pre-sized slots, you can insert big knives, small knives, cleavers, scissors, and just about anything sharp. Watch this video for a visual explanation: http://youtu.be/oxryUJS_mu0They've expanded the color offerings beyond red and black. I hope you get one -- Enjoy!

I have about 10 knives in mine, ranging from a large butcher knife, down to steak knives. It depends on the size of the blades on your knives. Hope this helps!

We use it to hold 12 knives: three small paring knives, two 4" utility knives, one 4" wide-blade spreader, one 6" santuko, one 7" santuko, two 8" French, one 8" carving, and one 8" bread. It could easily hold more.

Could hold 18+ depending on how they are inserted & the bulk of the handles if you really wanted to squeez. Easy in & out, non dulling & can configure any way most convenient for use. Great design! Bill

I've never filled it up. It depends how fat the handles are. You really can fit as many as you can jam in there. I would say it would hold a minimum of 10 knives and maybe up to 30 if you had really skinny handles.

I have 12 knives in mine including 4 steak knives, one large chef's knife and a big bread knife

The interior of the knife holder is not divided into pre-cut slits like you would see on a knife block. There are hundreds of slender plastic rods that fit in to fill the space, tight but not too tight to prevent pushing as few or as many knives in as you want, at any angle. The space these slender rods fill is 7 3/4" x 1 1/2", so there is a limit to the number of knives it can hold, but I would say it's an average of 12.

Can't give exact count. I have extra large, large, and small. I would say a dozen assorted. Love this!

I've got about 8 in mine. Only problem is some have to go on an angle as they are longer than the block is deep despite the measurement quoted. Knives do not go all the way to the bottom.

I have 16 in it now, but could add more if needed. It depends on the size of the knife of course. It was a great find.I have all my knives in it to keep them out of the drawers for safety.
283117
I have four steak knives, kitchen shears, a paring knife, small Santuko knife, a chefs knife and a bread knife in mine, spaced nicely apart as it is now, but also could fit more. It's not quite deep enough to hold all of the blade of the bread knife, just FYI. I don't mind, but it could be a problem if you try to load more knives...

I have about 8-9 knives. 4 or so chef size knives and 2 medium sized and 2-3 smaller/paring type knives. But could probably hold more if I packed them in more. Very happy with it.

Right now, I have 10 knives of various sizes, half of them have somewhat large blades. As others are saying, I could probably fit more. The best part is the flexibility of putting whatever size knife you have wherever it fits, and not being tied to slots. I bought one for my daughter who admired mine when she was visiting during the holidays. She and her friends think it's great.

There are no slots just space my husband has 14 small to medium knives in one case and 6 large knives in the other. Albeit several more could fit in each. This is a super nice display case he's ver pleased with them. They look great on the wall.

its not very big i don't have an exact but the knife they show in the image is probably a paring knife. you could possibly fit 3-4 full size knives on it

I bought it for my son for Christmas, he said there's 6 steak knives, bread knife, paring knife, and a chopper knife. Hope that's helpful.

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.

Gee, it depends on how wide the blades are. It has 13" of space for knives...that's six 2-inch-wide knives, for instance.

It all depends how thick your utensils are. I have three of these. In the first, I place all 12 of each (forks, spoons, desert spoons/forks) in one place/direction. 12 knives normally don't fit, so you'll have to split. I have photos I'll try to upload if I can.

If you lay the complete set of 4 in a single line, you could get 60 or so thin knives in them. However, I don't have 60 thin knives so I put the tip of the blades in one section and the blade closest to the handle on another section. I also put the knives in every other slot so there's plenty of room for the ones with large-handles. I tried many ways to configure the set until I found the best placement of the knives I have. I love the set. I think it saves so much space and is much safer than just laying them in the drawer (and who has space for that!?)

I have over a dozen in mine - two 8-inch chef's, two 8-inch santoku, one six-inch santoku, one six-inch boning knife, eight steak knives, two paring knives, and one cheese knife. The block is great if you have a lot of shorter knives, especially the kinds you almost never sharpen. My larger, sharper knives have decimated the "fingers".

Yes, we have two 8" chefs knives and a large sharpening steel in ours with plenty of room. I am really very happy with this item. It has a large capacity and it looks great.

Depends on the knives, but I have 10 or 11 in mine. Like it a lot. Heavy base keeps it stable.

It will hold up to six knives plus a sharpening rod that are up to a 10 inch blade length.

So sorry for delay. Those slots are very snug and will only fit 1 knife each, very thin slots that hold the knives quite still.

Well of course it depends on the size of the knives and how much space you want between them. I put 42 pocket knives in mine, and the are mostly between 3-1/4" to 4" long (closed).

Sorry for delay reply. The knife holder will hold a knife 17, maybe 18 inches long. The holder itself is 20 inches long. I hope this helps.

Depends on how big the knives are, not being funny, I currently have 12 in my block, a couple of the knives are a decent size. It was an excellent buy.

All three knives fit in one sheath. Plus there is a leg strap on the sheath.
