Can the glass block be adjusted to accommodate a knife longer then the 8" one that is included?

The block is not adjustable, but I just measured, and it could accommodate approximately an inch more...so a 9" blade could probably fit.

The glass block is not made to be adjusted. However, there are two screws, one on either side of the glass, attaching it to the steel "pillars" in order to take it apart for cleaning. MAYBE some washers could be added to those screws, in order to raise the level a bit... but this is designed to perfectly fit the knives that come with it.

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.

I previously purchased larger steak knives and they did not fit inside this block. Only standard size steak sets will fit - I actually had to return the larger set because they did not fit in the block.

I bought this set and used my existing block, the longest knife in the set (pictured 1st at the top of the pic--blade portion, not handle) is 7 inches long; the widest blade knife (pictured 2nd from the top of the pic--blade portion, not handle) is 1.6 inches at widest part of base) all fit nicely in a standard block

I checked my tray and it looks like you can . It is a great option to having the knives in a block on the counter.

The blade on the knife is 8.5 " and it fit perfectly but it was a gift so I don't have it to check.

I believe that each knife has a designated space. I am not aware of additional knives to the ones offered in the block. That will leave you with spares, or will make another cook in your life very happy.......

It easily accommodates my 6" Wusthof chef's knife. The rack is slightly over 8" long, so it is clearly long enough. I'm not certain about whether the slot is wide enough to accommodate an 8" knife. The slot is wider than my chef's knife, so it's probable that the rack will accommodate an 8" knife. It's a great product, especially in a small kitchen.

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

NOT unless you want to cut the 2 sides. I think they make a shorter size... search for it.

It is not 4" on my block. It is 3-15/16" which is about 1/32" too narrow for my cleaver. After some sharpening it should work.

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. :)

Probably not, it may stretch to it because the sides are elastic. But it's for a smaller knife.

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.

No. The area where the steel guides come together at the bottom is too narrow. Even if it fit, the chances of it chewing up the wood base are quite high. I purchased a 10-inch Chicago Cutlery bread knife to use with this guide and it works very well. You do need a long blade.

Don't think any knives are "missing"...instead, the block has spaces for additional knives. We added a Santoku knife since we perfer it. Still have 4 add'l slots that I suppose would be good for specialty blades or other size blades.

The block is 8" deep. I just measured our knives and a 8" chef's knife sticks out about 1/2". So a knife with a 7.5" blade would probably not stick out at all. I can't say enough about how happy we are with this knife block (I am not affiliated in any way with Bodun!).
