My drawer is only 3 inches high. Will I have clearance issues with my Henckels 8 inch chef's knife?

My drawers are 2 and 3/4 inches high. All of my regular sized steak knives for perfectly (I have miracle blade sets). The bigger miracle blade knives for fileting were a little too tall so I just didn't put them in all the way and they hang off the front a little bit, but everything fits! This way, I can still close all my drawers. I love how organized it always is! The butcher knives however, are definitely too tall I'd say, I put those on the side next to my two bamboo knife holders.

I doubt it. The knife block has a row of slots for the paring knives that sit above the slots for long, large knives. You would not be able to use any of the top slots with only a 3 inch depth. The lower slots would most likely work if you only want to use those.

I can only speak to the fact that my Wusthof Classic 8" chef's knife fits very well indeed. I've had this block for a number of years now, and have been extremely pleased with it. Every slot is filled: paring knives on top, and three chef's knives and two long serrated knives on the bottom. Although there are a few inevitable knicks from constantly removing and replacing knives in the block, the block is still very attractive in appearance. If you don't have much counter space or simply prefer to keep your knives out of sight, I highly recommend this block. And you'll pat yourself on the back for having your knives so organized.

I don't think so. My 8" Henckels Chef knife fits under 3", though my drawer is 3 1/2" deep.

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

My drawer is only 3 and 2/3 inches and everything still clears with plenty of space. The highest part of the knife block is 2 inches and none of my knife blades or handles seem to come up higher than that highest point on the block. You should be fine. I am very happy with mine. Currently have 11 knives stored there.

You should have no issues. There is even enough height if you wanted to include a cleaver.

Absolutely...and trust me, you're going to be quite pleased with the block.....my only issue is I'm storing my colorful, ceramic knives and the contrast between the knives and the bamboo look so terrific I'm constantly opening the drawer to look at them; My husband commented he wished we could leave it out on the counter!! The quality of this item can't be beat. I'd toyed with the idea of purchasing the acrylic block (which is a little pricey) and I'm so glad I waited.

My drawers are only 2.75" deep. The finger guard/bolster on my Henckels 8" chef's knife is too wide to fit into the slots of the knife block, so the handle sits up too high for the drawer to close. I would need another inch of drawer depth, at a minimum, for that knife to fit into the block and allow the drawer to close. Additionally, my drawers are lined with 1/8" cork, which makes the butt of my Henckels boning knife handle too high for the drawer to close as well. I'm going to cut out a section of the cork the size of the block to fix that problem, but my chef's knife will have to go elsewhere. My drawers are only 2.75" deep.

No, I don't believe you can. It should be counter height when in use. Plus it wouldn't clear the drawer front and handle.

Probably. There is a removal divider in the drawer. Removing the divider gives you roughly 13" x 8-3/4" and 2" high.

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.

Measure the height of your largest chef's knife, mine is 21/2 inches. Add about 3/4 inch (that's the height that the storage unit hold that part of the knife. If that is more than the clearance for your drawer, you can't put that knife in there.

You got teased a bit� I hope you got the answers you needed. I love it. One reason is because it takes up considerably less space on the countertop. My 7 inch knives fit.

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.

A hair over 12" inside. The upper edges of the drawer are exactly 12" apart. I would think you are OK.

It easily accommodates my 6" Wusthof chef's knife. The rack is slightly over 8" long, so it is clearly long enough. I'm not certain about whether the slot is wide enough to accommodate an 8" knife. The slot is wider than my chef's knife, so it's probable that the rack will accommodate an 8" knife. It's a great product, especially in a small kitchen.

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

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.

The drawer into which I put this spice organizer is 3 1/2" deep, so height is OK; my drawer is 16" wide, thus I had to cut the organizer down by 4" to fit. You will have a 2" empty space at one side (or split the difference with 1" on each side).

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.

The organizer expands to 18 3/4" interior width so that should be enough clearance so it will hang properly in your drawer. This is a very well made and robust unit. I really like it but you might want to measure the width of your drawer rails also. The channels in the acrylic that fit over the drawer edges are only about 9/16" wide. My rails were wider (I have a European made desk) so my husband had to machine out some of the material which was a bit difficult. If you have normal American made kitchen or bath cabinets, the width should be fine.

My tallest knife is exactly 3" high so this might not work for you. Check out the options at The Container Store. I think I saw a selection of knife holders for drawers there. Good luck.

It's probably about 2 inches high per drawer, so I don't think it will fit. It's good for bathroom stuff like tweezers, cotton pads, etc

Need about 1 inch clearance.Check for any lock mechanism, for me it hit the lock bar of the drawer.
