I have a pair of knives with 10" long blades. Will the two slots below/right of the cleaver take them?

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.

Sorry about the later reply. No. The deepest slot is the top slot (cleaver) which is about 10 1/8" deep. The second slot down, which will take about a 1 1/2 wide blade is 9 7/8" deep. The third slot down, also 1 1/2" wide is 9 1/4" deep. You should also know that the slots are cut all the way through so you can add about 1/8" depth to all of the slot if you don't mind that the tip of your knives will be resting on the counter. Hope this helps.

I don't have your set but I do have 2 others. The knives have their own slot for their size. Sometimes it just means you have to switch which way you have the blade pointing.Hope that helps.

The steak knife slots are only about 3/4". I have four steak knives that were too big. I used slots above the eight bottom slots. Hope this helps.

Absolutely. There should be enough clearance to get the whole blade. Unless of course you have some super unique knife. I've used this a ton since receiving it for both kitchen and pocket knives

I don't Believe it will. I have a shun 8 inch chef knife and, it doesn't even fit in the slot well. Hope that helps:)

My knives are 4.5 inches long so I put one of my longer knives in the slot and measured. It went in to 5 inches. My guess is yes but may depend on the shape of the blade.

Yes it will hold your knife. The length from one "hand" to the other is a little more than 10 1/2 in. so it'll work.

They will both fit but mine have already pierced through the sheath. The shoulder strap is not very long. I do really like the knives themselves.

I have an 8 inch chef's knife, and the entire blade fits into the slot. I didn't know they made a 14 inch chef's knife. Maybe there is one, but I haven't seen it. Are you measuring the blade plus the handle? If so, I would say your knife is probably a 10 inch chef's knife. If it is, the entire blade probably would not fit into the slot, which could be dangerous when you reach for a nearby knife and touch the sharp edge of you chef's knife.

The top left slot should accommodate a 12" chef knife. My 10" fits with room to spare

Largest top slot seems to be 11", the two under it are 10". My knives all have 8" blades, so that is my experience.

Yes. This will hold large cleavers horizontally as well as other large knives (e.g. chef's knives) with less width than a cleaver, provided the knife is held somewhere around its center of balance. For example, if you try to hold a 10" chef's knife by the very tip, the moment will pry it off of the bar. If held near the middle to rear of the blade, this bar can hold any knife horizontally.

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.

I just took some measurements on my block and a 11" knife will fit in the top right slot but it will stick out of the bottom of the block slightly but not to the point that it will be touching the counter.

It will not work with small blade folders. The clamp is to big. Best to use a LANSKY system for folders, but the KME is perfect for mid to large size fixed blade knives.

Well of course it depends on the size of the knives and how much space you want between them. I put 42 pocket knives in mine, and the are mostly between 3-1/4" to 4" long (closed).

Slot is deep enough, but fit will depend on the width of the knife. That's said, the slot is pretty wide.
