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.

Apologies on the slow reply. All slots are 3/16" diameter. Lengthwise mine are the same as the previous answer. Fine for almost all cooking knives, not so good for anything heavier like a hunting knife blade or cleaver blade.

The widest slot is about 3.33 inches, maybe slightly larger, but definitely smaller than 3.5 inches.

I will measure the widest slot tonight after I get home and respond again tomorrow

Ten inches is the max. I have a nominal 10" knife in one slot that measures about 10.25 and the tip extends through the block about 1/8", but not enough to hit the counter. The rubber feet on the block are just high enough that it works.

Gee, it depends on how wide the blades are. It has 13" of space for knives...that's six 2-inch-wide knives, for instance.

The one that I have, the 14 knife one, is around 9 inches. They make a 7 slot one that is 4 inches wide.

While there are several wide slots on this block, the widest is exactly big enough for a three-inch blade, and there s only one of them on this block. Looks like you need something bigger.

The blade is 1 13/16" wide or just a hair more than 1 3/4". It fits in the wide slots of the Wusthof knife block.

The width of the slots run from 7/8-inch for steak knives to 2-inches for chef's knives to 3 3/8-inch to fit a cleaver.

The largest slot is 2 1/4 long. The size of the knife is a Wusthof Classic 4582/20cm or 8" long. We love it looks great in the kitchen on the island.

No, the widest slot is for a large cutting knife. I don't believe it is wide enough for a cleaver.

Slot is 10cm or just under 4 inches wide. Very happy with this knife block.

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.

The longest knife blade I have in mine is about 7 3/4 inches. It would accommodate a slightly longer blade.

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.

The best and safety way is to us a straight edge at least 4 inches wide and a utility knife with new blade. Be sure to keep you finger out of the way.

The widest slots are exactly 2 inches. It is a great product, we are very happy that we purchased it!

That depends on the knives. I have 2 8" chef knives, an 8" santoku, a 12" carving knife, and a key chain bottle opener hanging on mine. It still has enough room to add a paring/petty knife.
