In addition to the knives that are sure will fit we also have 2 1 1/2 inch knives; and shears. Will this block work for us?

Is that 1-1/2" bladed knives? Sounds wrong, as does 21 1/2" knives. There is a shears slot and room for 6 steak knives (or smaller paring knives). I have 9 knives, a sharpening steel and 6 steak knives in this block. Unfortunately the block did crack at its side....still usable just not as pretty.

My block is wood and has spaces for steak knives. The one in this picture is not familiar to me. Sorry.

Our block doesn't look like the one in the picture but it is the 25 slot block. We have our shears in one of the wider slots and we've put our paring knives in the smaller slots. We've even got a cleaver in the flat longer slot.

No I don't think so, plus don't care for the design or looks. I have a 17 slot one in cherry and love it. All my knives fit plus shears have there own slot.

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.

I have 3 standard (6 and 2 8" chefs knives in the blocks and they fit fine. dont think they go much wider than that.

I use those smaller slots for paring knives. However, I checked with my steak knives (4 1/2" blades) which fit fine. I also checked by putting in another knife with a 5 1/2" blade...no problem.

I don't have the Henckels shears, but the shears I have definitely don't fit. I believe the product only works for knives.

Anything 2 inches wide or less should fit. The slots are thin to fit the razor saw.

I haven`t seen the forged knife block set, but I had a wooden knife block that took up more room than I wanted it to. This glass block takes up hardly any room and the knives are of very good quality. It allows me to save my Cut-Co knives for special occasions.

One is 2", one is 1and 1/2", the rest are 1". It fit all the knives we have in our RV.

This is a great block. My bread knife blade is 9 3/4" and fits with no problem

I wouldn't think that would be a problem. The handles sit up on the block Just the blade goes down inside. It holds large and small knives. I love mine.

Yes It holds my 8" chef knife my Calphlon bread knife very well. I think you would be very happy with this block, It's solid and holds everything that we need and it's beautiful. Good luck and happy holidays. :)

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.

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.

If they are long enough to pull through, I would think so. Short knives would not fit the slit.

alot of wrong size answers here.. Here is the sizesHere is basically what you have:1 - 1 3/8"2 - 1 7/8"2 - 7/8"1 - 1"2 - 1 1/4"these are exact sizes, see my posted response in other area for how to widen your slots to be able to accept much larger knives.. I own Shun Edo, and they are WIDE.. i own 2 of the blocks with a modded one.. nothing better on the market in my opinion

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

I have several knives that are 8 1/4" bread knives -- I believe you could probably get a 9" knife in because mine have to stop at the heads after the blades are inserted. This block is pretty deep, and I am very happy with it because I have assorted, non-matching knives and more than the slots can hold but I can actually put in two in one or two slots so I get them all in there. Hope this helps you.
