Knives are 8 1/4 inches long; wooden handle is 4 inches long & 3/4 inches wide & 5/8 inches deep; blade is 4 1/4 inches long; blade at widest part in 3/4 inches. I hope this answers your question.

I have a peeling, small chef, large chef, east/west, boning, bread and carving knife in mine. (Seven) The only complaint I have is that I have to put the three biggest knife on an angle despite the depth supposedly being 1cm longer than the longest knife. It looks ok though.

Definitely! I have Shun knives and they fit beautifully, even the bread knife. Also has a hole for the sharpening tool. One of the best additions I've ever made to my non-impressive kitchen!

Actually the Victorinox I purchased was the 6 inch, and it is the blade that measures 6 inches. I just checked my 8 and 10 inch chef's knives, and the measurement on all refers to the blade. Just a personal comment, a 10 inch chef's knife is a really long one and, as sharp as the Victorinox is, it might be more cumbersome (even dangerous) unless you have large hands and good control. The 8 inch is a good standard size, and the 6 and 8 are my go-to knives. Hope this helps.

I do not know as I have never had a wusthof classic 8" but based on what I know of the Japanese steel knives I believe this to be lighter. think of this as an 8" razor blade. amazing....

I can fit 8" of my bread knife in. Have had it for two years with no problem.

I wanted to answer this question and comment on other responses because I used these as basis to determine if my knives would fit. The largest slot would NOT hold my 8" Wusthof chef knife, which was the reason I purchased the product.

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.

The widest part of the handle on the large chef's knife is about one inch thick. If you are just using a plain magnetic strip I don't think they hold well. If using one in a wooden base, I would give it a go. You need at least 1/2 inch clearance for the knives to sit properly. I keep mine in an old knife block, but the handles are so thick that I can't use the slot designed for each knife. Wish OXO made a knife block for them. OXO knives have always been some of the sharpest and long lasting that I have ever owned.

I don't own a Shun TDM0743 but I have a huge 10" Sabatier stored in the block so I see no problem with the width of the blade you have in question. Very nice block by the way.

It will fit a knife that is not more than 2.25 inches wide. The sheath then begins to taper 6 inches down from the top only on one side. The knife's blade cannot be longer than 8 inches.

The blade of the shun chef knife is to thick for the saya cover. So it will not be fit for this knife.

A fun project at 0500. Our Chinese chef's knife is 3/32" and fits snugly. Our bread knife is just short of 2/32" and is ideal. We do not have an electric knife but my our son's is a double-bladed thing and would not fit. Hope this is of help.

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.

The longest knife I have in the block has a 9" blade. In the upper slots, I would imagine you could have a knife with a blade a couple of inches longer without difficulty. Depending on the knives you have, you will want to check the widths of the blades as there is only one slot wide enough for my chef's knife with a wide blade.

Look up the W Steak knife and check the length. Beware, quality issues with block. I RETURNED mine.
