What is the size of the slot for the sharpening steel in this block?

It's approximately 5/8ths inch, maybe slightly smaller, but not less than 9/16ths. Not as large as I might have expected, but I use a Wusthof sharpener, so it didn't matter. I use that slot to hold a pair of scissors, instead.

While there are several wide slots on this block, the widest is exactly big enough for a three-inch blade, and there s only one of them on this block. Looks like you need something bigger.

Yes. At least three slots are 8" deep; one slot is over 11" deep (that holds my longest knife). In addition, I am pleased with the solidity of the product. It doesn't move even when I pull the sharpener steel; other blocks are not substantial enough.

I bought this block for my daughter and don't know for sure if your knife will fit in the block. Your knife seems unusually long and wide. I measured my knives and block and your knife would not fit in my block and I believe my daughter's is roughly the same size. You may need to contact the manufacturer.

Nice unit with a taper point on one end and a round end with groove to sharpen hooks at the other. Closed it is 5 1/4" long and under 1/2'' wide at the locking collar. Overall length with it in sharping mode as around 7 1/2''. I think it is a great buy for the money.

The sharpener slot is approximately 5/8" x 5/8". And I carefully dry the knives first...

Ten inches is the max. I have a nominal 10" knife in one slot that measures about 10.25 and the tip extends through the block about 1/8", but not enough to hit the counter. The rubber feet on the block are just high enough that it works.

The box doesn't say. Apparently it's "one size fits all": "You'll find this product effective for all your sharpening needs."

I'm not sure. Not at my shop but I think its either 8 or 10 inches. But the table and wheel are both adjustable independently. You can adjust the angle your grinding the edge at to match original bevel or adjust to only take off what you have to. Mine has probably extended the lifeof my blades 25-50% compared to when I used my bench grinder. I sharpen 10 sets of blades a week and it saves me time also.

If that is the slot on the back right, then it is about 1/4 in. by 3 1/4 inches. I have three large knives in it, not a cleaver!

The sharpener slot is 3/4 of an inch by 3/4 of an inch. I do dry my knives before putting them in the block. I do not put my knives in the dish washer.

Largest slot is 4" with four 2" slots and rest smaller. Steak knives also fit very well. Very nice Knife block. Holds all my Japanese and German knives very well.

The block is 8" deep. I just measured our knives and a 8" chef's knife sticks out about 1/2". So a knife with a 7.5" blade would probably not stick out at all. I can't say enough about how happy we are with this knife block (I am not affiliated in any way with Bodun!).

The only part of the steel that will stick out is the black handle. The handle is 4 3/4". The length of the block is 10 1/2". I love mine. Mary
