What angle would it hold a typical 8" chef knife at?

I'm pretty sure it's a 20 degree angle. Works good works with most 8" knifes

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 the Classic 10" Chef's knife in mine (which is only 2" wide). The widest slots are only 2.5", so this will not work for a 5" wide knife.

Probably too small for anything larger than about an 8" knife. I use it to touch up lathe tooling.

8" blade should get you darn close, just be sure to do it in small increments.

It fits the 8" classic chef knife. I don't have the bread knife knife so I can't answer on that.

None of my knives are that long, but measuring from the back to the front, it's about 16.5 inches long so your knife would probably fit without issue.

I don't think so. My 8" Henckels Chef knife fits under 3", though my drawer is 3 1/2" deep.

I would recommend a Messermeister knife edge guard about 8" in length....say an 8" chefs knife guard.

I have a 10.25" bread knife and it fits fine in the top slot for the cleaver. It won't fit in the other slots because it's too wide so I don't know if there is a length constraint there. My 8 inch knife gyuto knife fits fine in the top slots.

Just got my tape measure out... My tallest knives set 2 3/4 inches off the bottom, so 2 7/8 should be sufficient.

probably 5/8" at the thickest park of handle. sheath clip is at mid way point, so there would be a lot of knife handle flapping around above boot.

My drawer is 2 7/8 and I have no problem with the knife handles sticking up too far. However, there is also an inch available from the top of my drawer to the bottom of the cabinet it slides into. I love it; it has completely organized my knives.

It would work fine but would need a way to swivel so it would lay flat against the chest. It will hold more than fine tip up as the sheath holds the knife too tightly. It is a heavy knife but I like it and wont fall out tip up.

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

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.

i have a butcher knife and a 6 inch chef's on mine. they stay up, but I think the butcher knife is pushing the limits of the magnet strength. I think the knives you describe would fit and hold, probably not too much else or it will get crowded.
