Is there a slit on the block for the knife to sit.

No, there is not a slit for the knife. In my opinion that would make it harder to keep clean. It is a solid piece of wood and is very easy to clean.

Yes, there is a slit in a small block of wood. It is perfectly sized to fit into it securely. I use my ulu almost every time I cook. I have bought one for every adult member of my family. We love it--along with the bowl.

No, there is separate block for it. Would be better if it would have a place on the block.
1859949
yes. the knife has it's own little stand that has a slit to accommodate the blade

There is a separate small block made to hold the knife. When I am not using the knife and cutting bowl, I stand the bowl on end then put the knife and its little holding block on top.

There is a small block into which is a slot for the knife to sit. This block is very small. Then, there is the striped bowl block. I call it such because it has a bowl specially made to fit the knife in use. This makes the use of the ulu knife and bowl together very safe and stable. I have never had safety issues with this knife, which is precisely why I purchased it. Hope you enjoy it's use and safety.

No. There is a separate wood block for the knife to rest in. This is one of my favorite kitchen tools. Just remember, do not let it set for a long time in standing water. The wood will separate.

There are NO HOLES in the end of the blade. There is a SEMI-CIRCLE cutout on the end. I have a photo if needed

Yes, on one side only. If you turn the block so the knives are on the right, you'll see the logo. If you turn it the other way, no logo. The logo is about 5/8" tall, and is not just the square logo but also the word "Wsthof" so it's a little less than three inches long. The laser-engraving is a slightly darker brown from the rest of the block. When mounted, the square hole for a steel is top right. Several customers have posted pictures of the actual block installed:

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.

I wondered the same thing had no luck finding one, this thing is a beast no knife block i have ever heard of has a slot big enough for it either. A realy strong magnet strip might be the only way to keep the blade safe other than giving it its own drawer.

Yes, it is a block only, and has places for scissors and sharpening steel. This said, I would be very suspect of a block with knives for this price, as the knives would NOT be of any good quality.

There is no guard for the blade, just dial it down to a level position. I've had no problem, no cuts. I store it on it's side in an upper cabinet so there's no chance the kids will grab it. I think it's a great tool for the kitchen and I still recommend it.

It's 10 1/2 inches. Now please answer my question. What should I do with the extra knife block I received? It had been sent to the wrong address.

If you put a dirty knife in the block the block will get dirty.If you keep knives clean it will stay clean.

It does come with a few extra slots. I have found it useful if you had purchased a single knife at some point, you can add it to the block. That said, the standard knives in the set cover pretty much everything you need on a day to day basis.

No it doesn't have slits, but there should be no problem in cutting it to size.

Yes it does. I just checked. We have a 12" chef's knife (that's a large-bladed chopping knife, right?) that we keep in the bamboo block.

Part of the blade will definitely stick out with normal use (at least 2").If it is the only knife in the block, and you insert it diagonally, then it may come close to covering the blade...

No, just a slot on one end. We don't use it, as we have a block holder for our knives.

I have a wooden block of knives from the parent company of Pure Komachi, and from experience with that, while the slots will accomodate any knife, certain length knives will not fit properly into some of the slots. Also, I noticed that I have a Pure Komachi sandwich knife, which is not part of this block, and will NOT fit in any of the slots, due to the odd shape and width of the blade.

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

No it does not. Is just what you see on the picture, nothing hidden or slicing.
