How many knives does it hold?
283105
it depends on the size of the knives - and the size of the handles of the knives, but the rack holds quite a few knives. btw...i ordered a second one for scissors, and miscellaneous items

I have 16, including 2 chef knives, scissors, and a sharpener. Includes other large knives and could get more in if I wanted.

The short answer is as many as you want. Since there are no pre-sized slots, you can insert big knives, small knives, cleavers, scissors, and just about anything sharp. Watch this video for a visual explanation: http://youtu.be/oxryUJS_mu0They've expanded the color offerings beyond red and black. I hope you get one -- Enjoy!

I have about 10 knives in mine, ranging from a large butcher knife, down to steak knives. It depends on the size of the blades on your knives. Hope this helps!

We use it to hold 12 knives: three small paring knives, two 4" utility knives, one 4" wide-blade spreader, one 6" santuko, one 7" santuko, two 8" French, one 8" carving, and one 8" bread. It could easily hold more.

Could hold 18+ depending on how they are inserted & the bulk of the handles if you really wanted to squeez. Easy in & out, non dulling & can configure any way most convenient for use. Great design! Bill

I've never filled it up. It depends how fat the handles are. You really can fit as many as you can jam in there. I would say it would hold a minimum of 10 knives and maybe up to 30 if you had really skinny handles.

I have 12 knives in mine including 4 steak knives, one large chef's knife and a big bread knife

The interior of the knife holder is not divided into pre-cut slits like you would see on a knife block. There are hundreds of slender plastic rods that fit in to fill the space, tight but not too tight to prevent pushing as few or as many knives in as you want, at any angle. The space these slender rods fill is 7 3/4" x 1 1/2", so there is a limit to the number of knives it can hold, but I would say it's an average of 12.

Can't give exact count. I have extra large, large, and small. I would say a dozen assorted. Love this!

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 have 16 in it now, but could add more if needed. It depends on the size of the knife of course. It was a great find.I have all my knives in it to keep them out of the drawers for safety.
283117
I have four steak knives, kitchen shears, a paring knife, small Santuko knife, a chefs knife and a bread knife in mine, spaced nicely apart as it is now, but also could fit more. It's not quite deep enough to hold all of the blade of the bread knife, just FYI. I don't mind, but it could be a problem if you try to load more knives...

I have about 8-9 knives. 4 or so chef size knives and 2 medium sized and 2-3 smaller/paring type knives. But could probably hold more if I packed them in more. Very happy with it.

Right now, I have 10 knives of various sizes, half of them have somewhat large blades. As others are saying, I could probably fit more. The best part is the flexibility of putting whatever size knife you have wherever it fits, and not being tied to slots. I bought one for my daughter who admired mine when she was visiting during the holidays. She and her friends think it's great.

I have a 15 inch chef knife, and there is about 3 inches of space left over. It is a nice case, plenty of room.

3 knives. All three knives fit in the sheath stacked on one another. Great product!!!

It totally depends on the size of the knives and even the width of their handles. It has three layers of slots and five large knives with big handles will fit on the bottom row. But as to how many you could get in the next two rows depends if some of your large knives are intruding onto the upper row. It's hard to explain, and I realize the photo you're looking at doesn't help much. I knew I didn't have 15, so I wasn't bothered by that claim. It easily holds the 10 I do have, and I could fit in a couple more small paring knives. Unlike the negative review below, I love this holder. I measured my drawer carefully before I purchased and the dimensions shown are correct, so it fit my drawer fine and it's beautiful wood. If you really do have 15 knives and many of them are large, you might be better off with a vertical block-type holder that would sit on the counter. But since I like to keep my knives out of sight, yet protected properly since they are good quality, this product was a great solution at a good price for me.

Each bar holds 12, we cut ours down easily with a saw because we only wanted 8. We also use 2 bars for our 8 knives and alternate the way they face as shown on the LHS of the image. This creates stability and room to access each knife otherwise the handles are too close together. Completely satisfied with the product. Hope this helps.

We have 7 Wusthof knives hanging from ours. THe knives range from a paring knife to a bread knife.

there are 2 chefs knives a large and small, a serrated bread knife, a carving knife, 2 paring knives, 6 steak knives, a pair of kitchen shears or scissors, a sharpening steel and a wood block to hold them all.

3 blades. There are compartments on the side of it that holds them. Its worth purchasing! I love mine.

Yes, it's 15. I still love mine, but I will say that the knives tend to fall out of the top section when I open it, no matter how careful I am. The holders must be in the wrong place or too loose. I'm still glad I got it because it's so sturdy and attractive, but I wish it didn't have this design flaw.

It holds 2 paring knives, a boning knife, a Santoku knife, a ten inch chefs knife, a carving knife, a bread knife, a sharpening tool and a serrated all purpose knife...it is perfect!

I probably have 30 knives in it. You just keep adding and adding to get them out of drawers and it continues to keep mine standing at an angle ready to be used. I've purchased at least 6 of them for friends who have seen mine and loved it.

Depends on how big the knives are, not being funny, I currently have 12 in my block, a couple of the knives are a decent size. It was an excellent buy.
1781889
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.

There are 14 slots total, 4 of which are steak knife sized, leaving 5 larger and longer slots open. I have a large santoku in mine, and the longer slots at top should be plenty deep for the bread knife.

I have this bag and I currently have chefs knives from 6in to 10in. As well as a 12in slicer and bread knife. I also have a 14in steel in it. It holds every size all the way up.

I have 13 different sizes (some of the smaller ones doubled up in a slot) and a scissors plus 8 steak knives in mine with no problem.

No. They didn't really hold 12 dinner knives well. When you put all 12 in the slots above, the case doesn't close very well.
