Will this block hold an 8 inch chefs knife and 10 inch sharpening steel?

Yes, we have a couple 10" knives, a big chefs chopper and a 10" sharpener in ours along with other knives.

yes...it's a great block and because it's bamboo, it is microbe resistant, which is important...and bamboo is also gentle on steel and ceramic...I REALLY like my block and recommend it .

Yes, we have two 8" chefs knives and a large sharpening steel in ours with plenty of room. I am really very happy with this item. It has a large capacity and it looks great.

The width of the slots varies, just like any knife block. It holds my 7" chef's knife, paring knife, utility knife, and bread knife. The two widest slots are 1-7/8" wide; the next widest is 1-1/4". It might not hold a 9" chef's knife, but otherwise, it should hold all of your cutlery.

The cleaver slot is 10cm wide or nearly 4inches. A great knife block this is.

I actually returned this knife block because it did not fit the knives I have. I have a henkels 8" santoku, a 6" chefs knife, a 10" serrated bread knife and a paring knife. As well as six steak knives. This knife block is not deep enough for my serrated blade, and didn't have a slot wide enough for my santoku. Most of the slots were way too wide for other knives. It's also really low profile, so it took up a lot of space on my counter. I think there a fair number of slots, but none suited the knives I have.

Yes, I have the Victorinox Fibrox handle 8" knife and mine fits. It's a great safe way to transport my knife. The knife is securely held in place.

I've got about 8 in mine. Only problem is some have to go on an angle as they are longer than the block is deep despite the measurement quoted. Knives do not go all the way to the bottom.

I measured the slots and here is what I came up with: 3 @ 2" 1 @ 2 1/8" 2 @ 1 1/4" 1 @ 1 1/2" 2 @ 1" The scissor slot is 1 5/8" wide The hole for the sharpening steel is 5/8" square These numbers are very precise. For instance, a 2 1/4" blade would not fit in the 2 1/8" slot. I have a combination of Shun, Wusthoff and Henckels knives in my block. Good luck!

The 8 steak knife slots are 7/8" wide on my block. They are on about 1 1/8" centers (about 1/4" between each). The block is 4 3/4" total width. I'm very happy with mine.

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.

The knife block is 9 inches tall. With my knives in it it is 12 inches tall. Of course I need more than 12 inches so that I can remove the knives from the block.

It was designed to hold knives. In a pinch, it can hold small ferrous metal stuff, but I'm sure not 10 lbs of anything. My eight knives weigh less than 2.5 lbs. Get an industrial magnet at a hardware store for your use.

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 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.

No problem on the width, but the length could be a problem if the knife blade is a full 12 inches. The longest part of the block (top row) is 11 inches.

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!).

Largest slot is 4" with four 2" slots and rest smaller. Steak knives also fit very well. Very nice Knife block. Holds all my Japanese and German knives very well.

My Wusthof storage block, like to one shown, measures 11 inches from top to bottom. I am storing a 10" sharpening steel in that slot.
