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

It just like everyone answers, Any 8.2" or 8" gyutou I think you already have a right answers.

I have shun and global knives and all the knives fit very well. When the knives sit in the knife drawer, the handle is the same height as the handle rest therefore you will not have a problem closing the drawer.

It fits a 7in Calphalon Santoku knife very nicely. I would bet a 7in Wusthof Santoku would fit without a problem.

You're probably new to Amazon, as detailed descriptions of items sold are in the section below at the page bottom. The description reads 12" x 18" x 4". The only knife I have that doesn't fit is a 22" long Japanese sushi knife. And I rarely take that $250 knife anywhere.

I would get the 14inch!!! I got the 16inch and it is MASSIVE. I underestimated everyone who said it was way too large and bought it for my boyfriend. Very huge and hard to store in the kitchen. If I could do it again I would get the 14 inch or smaller. Because it's so big it's also hard to hold with just the handle because it's heavy. Great wok besides the sheer enormity.

I have several knives that are 8 1/4" bread knives -- I believe you could probably get a 9" knife in because mine have to stop at the heads after the blades are inserted. This block is pretty deep, and I am very happy with it because I have assorted, non-matching knives and more than the slots can hold but I can actually put in two in one or two slots so I get them all in there. Hope this helps you.

Boyfriend, this knife WILL be your OFFICIAL GO TO knife! Meats, veggies, a watermelon, even soft fresh bread cuts like butter. Please remember to use your knife steel after a good amount of use like I do and it will continue to impress you. For a long time my go to was the Forschner Victorinox, suggested by Cook's Illustrated.....I think the Wusthof Nakiri has it beat big time. Hope you love it like I do!

I have a peeling, small chef, large chef, east/west, boning, bread and carving knife in mine. (Seven) The only complaint I have is that I have to put the three biggest knife on an angle despite the depth supposedly being 1cm longer than the longest knife. It looks ok though.

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.

Pretty sure not a full tang. Researching the issue I found this link:http://www.cheftalk.com/t/55184/not-a-full-tangI'm a chef and the knife is beautifully balanced and shows no sign of becoming unstable or loose. I have 2 Shun classic knives and both are excellent - a 9" slicer and the 8" chef knife

it's about the size of a good sized steak knife...it's not a BIG knife, but perfect for eating meals with and for using for general use in the kitchen. Might want a bigger knife for a loaf of bread? It's my favorite kitchen knife though because I use it for everything from avocado, to meat, rolls, tomatoes, etc. Totally worth the price...I know they're expensive but this is actually my 2nd one because I wanted a "just-in-case" one...I take the second one to work with my lunch ...

I started with the larger 7 inch knife and then got the 5 inch and I find that if I have started out using the 7" blade I will just continue using it even on small things like grape tomatoes and I have no problem. I think that you would need to assess what you feel you would use the knife for and then make a decision. Whatever you decide you can't go wrong with Wusthof.

sorry... i can't help you! i have a 13" chef knife and it fits with no problem. i love it! it's beautiful on my counter and holds so much without looking messy!

My better guess would be the large. It seems the large fits most knives and the small only the very small. The small is just over an inch long and is quite thin. The large is the "normal" size. Hope this helps.

You got teased a bit� I hope you got the answers you needed. I love it. One reason is because it takes up considerably less space on the countertop. My 7 inch knives fit.

You may have decided on this subject by now, but just keep in mind that the overall size of this knife will require more caution and skill to wield in a self defense situation. As with any weapon, practice and training should be a priority. You may want to go with the smaller version of this knife. It will be easier to maneuver, carry and conceal if necessary. Good luck.

I have a wooden block of knives from the parent company of Pure Komachi, and from experience with that, while the slots will accomodate any knife, certain length knives will not fit properly into some of the slots. Also, I noticed that I have a Pure Komachi sandwich knife, which is not part of this block, and will NOT fit in any of the slots, due to the odd shape and width of the blade.
