How many knives does this knife holder hold?

It depends on your knives and your drawer space. I have about 20-ish in a standard drawer but a couple (in sleeves) facing the opposite way of the others. Also with the larger knives, which have larger handles, I had to place a knife in every other slot rather than every slot. But the great thing about this set is that you can configure it any which way you need.

Each bar holds 12, we cut ours down easily with a saw because we only wanted 8. We also use 2 bars for our 8 knives and alternate the way they face as shown on the LHS of the image. This creates stability and room to access each knife otherwise the handles are too close together. Completely satisfied with the product. Hope this helps.

If you lay the complete set of 4 in a single line, you could get 60 or so thin knives in them. However, I don't have 60 thin knives so I put the tip of the blades in one section and the blade closest to the handle on another section. I also put the knives in every other slot so there's plenty of room for the ones with large-handles. I tried many ways to configure the set until I found the best placement of the knives I have. I love the set. I think it saves so much space and is much safer than just laying them in the drawer (and who has space for that!?)

Hello Elizabeth. This chest was purchased as a gift so I really can't say if it can hold a setting for 16. I have seen the setting of 12 in the chest and there may be some room for extras. The drawer gives extra space so I'm sure you would find space for the extra 4 knives. Best of luck to you. It's a lovely piece.

I have a 15 inch chef knife, and there is about 3 inches of space left over. It is a nice case, plenty of room.

I have 16, including 2 chef knives, scissors, and a sharpener. Includes other large knives and could get more in if I wanted.

Depends on the knives, but I have 10 or 11 in mine. Like it a lot. Heavy base keeps it stable.

I have over a dozen in mine - two 8-inch chef's, two 8-inch santoku, one six-inch santoku, one six-inch boning knife, eight steak knives, two paring knives, and one cheese knife. The block is great if you have a lot of shorter knives, especially the kinds you almost never sharpen. My larger, sharper knives have decimated the "fingers".

Yes, definitely. This will hold up to two 10"-12" chef knives in both the top left and top right slots.

It will hold up to six knives plus a sharpening rod that are up to a 10 inch blade length.

Tray accommodates knives up to 16.5" in overall length, depending on handle shape. The slots are 11" long and of various widths, and the handle area is open for another 6" or so, but the angle, that helps keep everything snug, means a reduction in overall length.

Really depends on the knifes you will putting in it. I would say about 20 steak knifes close together.

There are 14 slots total, 4 of which are steak knife sized, leaving 5 larger and longer slots open. I have a large santoku in mine, and the longer slots at top should be plenty deep for the bread knife.

Mt drawer is slightly less than three inches. I have a large carving knife, cleaver and a chefs knife that don't fit in the holder. Those are kept separately. All others fit with no problem. I find the holder the best way I have found to store knives

It depends. I currently have about 15 in it, ranging in sizes. I have about 6 large knives, a bread knife, 4 small paring knives and a few misc. knives. After a while it does freak out and bend the little black pieces, you have to take it out and floof them around to get it back to normal again.

Hi, love this holder. I have 12 full carving, cutting and boning knives plus a full size mandolin knife. Its exceptionally sturdy and the magnetic grip is excellent, they don't move until you take them down.

Here is basically what you have: 1 - 1 3/8" 2 - 1 7/8" 2 - 7/8" 1 - 1" 2 - 1 1/4" This is a absolutely GREAT knife holder.... Let me tell you what i done on a second one i ordered.. Its not hard to do, and just takes a little bit of time and patience, and you will need a second person to help you, BUT if your like me, i needed some extra wide slots.. I have all Shun EDO line of knives, and if you have seen their chef's knives, and Santoku knives, you know they are extremely wide.. You can do this to ANY of the slots, and the magnet is embedded in the block... Take the block and put on side and have someone hold down... Take a wood cutting Hacksaw blade and insert into one of the slots.. wrap tape or use a rag on each end (to grip hacksaw blade with) and saw out the little wood partition between 2 of the slots.. You want to saw in a downward motion (easier).. As a example, i sawed out the partition between the 2 small slots that were only 7/8", and that gave me a full 2" for a larger knive.. Just saw right at the edge, and your good to go.. This is the only swinging block that i am aware of on the market, and is really a great unit to have.. As with most blocks, you need larger slots, then all the smaller ones.. I hope this information helped.. Any other questions, please post up, and i will do my best to help you out.

Ok, actual dimensions are 11.5 x 5.6 x 8 inches ; 6.2 pounds. For me, it holds my bread knife, which is my longest knife, with no problem. It also holds a chefs knife, three santokus, a paring knife, a filet knife, and 8 steak knives. Oh, and my meat thermometer. Buy it. You will love it - I know I do! Oh, also, it holds darn near anything - the inside is thousands of plastic rods that conform around your knives. If one sticks up a little, no problem, because it is being held in place by the little plastic rods.
