How wide is the slot for the cleaver (the widest slot)?

Its already noted in the reviews, mine is 4 inches, which is not wide enough for some meat cleavers, but fits my Wustof Cleaver just fine. The big drawback for this block is the tendency for the laminations to come unglued. Fortunately, mine only separated on the bottom, which is not visible normally. I've had it about a year now.Its probably the best one out there, but inspect it carefully for any splits, its heavy and can open them up in shipping.

The cleaver slot on mine is 3 15/16 inches wide. If you have a wider cleaver than that you can carefully cut through the wood barrier on the right side of the slot into the next slot for a total of 5 1/4 inches.

It is not 4" on my block. It is 3-15/16" which is about 1/32" too narrow for my cleaver. After some sharpening it should work.

Cleaver slot is a little shy of 4 Inches. I love this knife block and am so happy I ordered it.

24mm x 24mm, 40mm deep from the front of the slot; 50mm from the back of the slot as the top is slanted

The inside usable area is 2 7/8 inches square. But since you can put anything in it at any angle you could put in your 3.5 in cleaver on the diagonal which measures 4 1/4 inches.

Slot width is 2 1/8 " at the edge...a tiny bit wider in the interior at about 2 3/16". But, no, 2.75 thick won't fit.

Mine is just under 15" at the widest part(handles). And the slots are 1-5/8" wide. Enough room for real meaty baby backs. Hope this helps.

Yes , I do believe a cleaver will fit in the second slot from the top , it is a wide slot and takes up the whole width of the block and is quite deep. Hope this helps you out.

I have the Classic 10" Chef's knife in mine (which is only 2" wide). The widest slots are only 2.5", so this will not work for a 5" wide knife.

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.

Slightly wider than the sword. It fits nicely, but over time the tip starts to poke through. That might only be because I sharped the blade.

I'll measure the slot when I get home. I do dry my knives first before putting them away.

I measured 3 1/2 inches across the widest part. Hard to get exact measurment because that part of the blade is not flat, but has the corer in the middle.

It looks like about 2-9/16" on center. They're slotted, so you could also go a bit narrower.

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.

the answer to your question is 4 1/8" inches from the center of one slot to the center of the other.

Don't know the size of your cleaver. The largest slot opening on this Block measures 2 1/4" Wide by 1/4" high. Depth may not be a problem but I do not think this Block was designed to accommodate meat cleavers.

Anything 2 inches wide or less should fit. The slots are thin to fit the razor saw.

I believe the sharpener slot is about 1/2" x 1/2". I always make sure the knives are dry before putting them away.
