My largest knife has a 10 inch long blade. Will it fit completely in the knife block, or will part of the blade stick out?

Part of the blade will definitely stick out with normal use (at least 2").If it is the only knife in the block, and you insert it diagonally, then it may come close to covering the blade...

Depending on the width of the blade, you 'might' be able to insert it at an angle to cover the sharp edge of the blade, but the upper edge will definitely be sticking out by at least two inches.

It's about 9" from the bottom of the block to the top. So your knife will stick out a little over an inch. The nice thing about the Kapoosh is that you can place your knife in however you want to minimize the danger of cutting yourself with it.

The 10 inch blade will fit. The handle might hang over. It will depend on how the blade and handle fit together whether it will work or not. My larger blades in Henkles do not fit as well as some other brands

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

They fit a certain way. They do all fit in the block. Play with it a bit and it will work. GREAT KNIVES!!!

I don't know the longest blade it will hold, but I insert a 10-inch blade in a slot - works just fine.This is a very nice knife holder.

Based on those measurements it should fit. My knife is almost the same size.

I think not. I just measured and the longest blades I have in the block are a little over 10" I do love the knife block and find it works very efeciently for me holding just the right # of knives that I use on a daily basis.

I just measured the knife holder and yes it will accommodate knives up to 15 inches long and blades up to 10 inches long. Hope this helps. I really like this holder as all my knives easily fit into it and I still have room in my drawer for other items. I would recommend it highly.

The block top is 5 1/4" by 5 1/4". The longest inserted blade depth I have on a knife is 8".

I have a 10.25" bread knife and it fits fine in the top slot for the cleaver. It won't fit in the other slots because it's too wide so I don't know if there is a length constraint there. My 8 inch knife gyuto knife fits fine in the top slots.

The 10" bread knife should fit...however, what the picture and product description do not divulge is that the bottom of the block is not solid. The knife slots continue from the top of the block to the bottom. So your 10" knife should fit, but the tip of the knife may hit your counter top. Something soft underneath the bottom of the block should prevent any damage to the blade. All in all, it is a very nice block set. If your heart is set on finding a block specifically to accommodate your bread knife, then you may want to look for something else. Otherwise, if you really like this particular block set regardless of your bread knife, then it's a very good deal and I highly recommend.

my longest knife is 15" total length and it fits fine....it is a bread knife..

Yes it will but the handle may stick out the bottom end. I have a bread knife with a 10 inch blade that is 15" overall and it fits fine. There is probably room for another 2" of blade but my handle is almost flush with the bottom edge of the holder. If your drawer has room for the holder to rest against the back of the drawer and still have at least 2" to spare at the front, you will be fine.

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.

I have 3 standard (6 and 2 8" chefs knives in the blocks and they fit fine. dont think they go much wider than that.

The biggest knives I put in are Santuko and big bread knife and it still fits in the drawer. The only drawback of this knife holder is that if you fill all of the openings with knife, based on the thickness of the handles, the knives may not fit comfortable, then it may be a little hard to get a knife out of it. I still prefer this one to the on the counter knife block. I would recommend measuring the depth of your drawer to know if the length of this block is going to fit. Sometimes the standard kitchen drawers are not that deep to go all the way to the wall.

I can insert a 7 inch serrated knife and no blade is sticking out. My Chinese 7 inch knife stickz out a little because it has a lip that prevents full insertion.
