Will this hold the 8" chefs knife?

Yes, easily. It fits in the second-to-longest slot. The longest slot is slightly too short for a 10".

It seems to JUST hold our 8" chef's knife from Ikea. If I stick my hand under the knife holder I can just feel the point of the knife, but, it doesn't hit the countertop.

Yes, without any problems. Depth of first hole is 9 3/4", second hole is 9"

I house a Victorinox 8 inch chef's knife and a Henckels Santoku in a 6-8 inch blade-safe. Both fit fine.

It does. I have some large butcher knives (meat market butcher size, not chef size) that belonged to my dad and even with they fit in the tray. I have a variety of large Cutco, Wusthoff, Henkles, Dexter knives, and a couple large Santoku knives and they all fit without any problems. With large knives in the tray, the total height is still only 3 inches.

Nooooooooo. It barely fits my 11.5 inch bread knife. I dunno if your measuring handle and all. But an 11.5 in bladed knife barely fit.

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

The chef knife is an 8 inch. Works wonderfully... Make nice smooth cuts and makes cooking easy.

It's just a smaller set. It includes the 6" chefs knife as the biggest knife, not the 8".

There are 3 open slots in the top of the block and 4 below for steak knives. The block fits an 8" chef's knife so it should fit both the santoku and bread knife.

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.

The blade on the knife is 8.5 " and it fit perfectly but it was a gift so I don't have it to check.

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.

No there is not. The biggest knife that I own that fits it is my 8" wusthoff chefs knife

Fits a large carving knife. Don't see why it wouldn't hold a meat cleaver. Limiting factors would be the dimensions of the meat cleaver and the interior height of the drawer.

It's specifically fitted for the 8.2 inch gyutou chefs knife. I'm not sure if another knife would fit.

Our knife is about 3 3/4" long. The velcro flap has room to grow. Should fit, but can't say positively yes.

The block is 8" deep. I just measured our knives and a 8" chef's knife sticks out about 1/2". So a knife with a 7.5" blade would probably not stick out at all. I can't say enough about how happy we are with this knife block (I am not affiliated in any way with Bodun!).

I have a 10" extra wide chef, 8" chef, 7" santoku and 8 " bread knife in there with a 3.5, 4.5 and 5" paring at the bottom. Hope this helps!
