How high must the drawer be with Wusthof classic steak knives in place? My drawer is 2 7/8 inches. Not three inches. Thankyou.

Sandy, I have my large knives in this in-drawer knife holder & they are sit appx. 2-1/2" high in the holder. I don't see a problem with your drawer hight. Ann

My guess is that except for knives that might have a very large handle or an irregularly shaped knife that makes the handle portion higher, most knives would just about fit your drawer. I think it might be close but would work excepting the the above.

my drawer is 2 3/4 inches high with paring knives on the top layer and longer knives on the lower levels. the drawer always closes

I have a very similar drawer block to this, from William Sonoma, and the only issue is that if someone puts the wrong knife, such as a boning knife in one of the top slots by mistake then you cannot open the drawer!!! The handle jams on the top lip of the drawer and you are in a very difficult situation. Love it other than that issue and of course if you have people helping you in the kitchen then this could easily happen especially if you are not there to warn them. Be aware of this if you have teenagers or a house cleaner that might put things in the wrong slot.

Just got my tape measure out... My tallest knives set 2 3/4 inches off the bottom, so 2 7/8 should be sufficient.

I would go by the measure of the opening for the drawer. My drawer side is 2.5 inches high and some of the handles to my knifes stick up higher than this. But the opening for my drawer is just under 4 inches and everything goes in smoothly. The blades will fit into the slots, so none of the blade on my knifes are higher than the block. If your drawer opening is 3 inches and your knife handles are not supper thick, than I think you shouldn't have a problem. Hope this helps.

It depends upon how thick your knife handle bars are. I measured our holder with our knives and it was 3 inches exactly but when I rearranged our knives and put the thinner handled knives on top, it was exactly 2 7/8 inches. So the long and short is that it would be extremely tight.

My drawer is 2.75 inches deep and the knife holder fits just fine, including my full size Henckels chef knife in it so you should be OK.

I just measured my knife rack at 8 3/4". I would guess that they specify 9'' just to leave a small margin of error.I have seen a similar product from OceanstarI.E. the Oceanstar In-Drawer Bamboo Knife Organizerwhich is spec'ed at 6.12". This may fit your needs.

probably not -- I measured my drawer is 3.75 inches deep and the largest knife sitting in the holder is 3" high

The two on the top are 8" inches....the very top possibly 9. I went by the length of my knife. The third one from the top is 7" and the bottom is 6"

the holes are definitely 3" apart on the back (what you drill into your drawer face. i know because I just installed these on a set of drawers I recently made). I didn't measure the height, but maybe the 2" is talking about the height?

Height clearance is fine. You'll have to cut the drawer insert to size. Ours was cut to 19" using a jig saw. If you have the 20" organizer it will leave approximately 2" of your drawer exposed.

Hi. It will depend on the size of the knife. The allowable storage in the drawer is 13"L x4"D X1-1/2" H. There is a divider in the drawer that prohibits storing at an angle. I doubt there is enough room in the top part of the chest. I hope this helps. I do love it and would buy it again.

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

I previously purchased larger steak knives and they did not fit inside this block. Only standard size steak sets will fit - I actually had to return the larger set because they did not fit in the block.

I have a tip out drawer in front of the sink. It is only 3 inches deep and runs the length of the sink. The drawer was there before I remodeled with granite and this sink. I don't know why T. Lysaght disliked the sink, I really like it. I guess if I did not have a dishwasher it would be a bit small.

I can't see what you are responding to ("So, Obviously . . . ) so I'm not sure if it will fit perfectly in your drawer but I also have a drawer liner underneath so it doesn't slip around. Additionally I have both the small Wusthof Knife holder and this one side by side plus extra room on the side. I really love both of them and they are the best that I've found and I search for months to find an in-drawer knife holder.

The height and clearance measurements of my drawers are the same - 3" and I haven't had any problems. The unit itself is just about 2" but with spices in it you do need more clearance in order for the drawer to close. Based on your measurements I think you would be fine since you have the same clearance as I do.

If you're referring to the height of your drawer (how tall it is from the bottom to the top) then you need at least 9 5/8 inches for clearance when closing and opening. I measured a straight line from the bottom of my drawer where the frame was resting to the top of the screw. (There is a screw at each corner of the frame to hold the hanging rails to the frame legs).

1-3/8" is the very exact height of the inside of each drawer. If you go a speck more than that you will not be able to close it. Hope this helps. It is a really nice set of wooden draws though for the money. I use it for jewelry. Joanne

No idea why, I just measured mine and the whole knife; blade and all is around 7 3/8"
