I gave this knife set for my parents and they are having trouble getting all of the knives to fit in the block. Has anyone else had this problem?

I don't have your set but I do have 2 others. The knives have their own slot for their size. Sometimes it just means you have to switch which way you have the blade pointing.Hope that helps.

They fit a certain way. They do all fit in the block. Play with it a bit and it will work. GREAT KNIVES!!!

I know that they make many different sets of knives with different wooden blocks. Usually the knives fit into the block quite easily, so I am wondering if they sent you the wrong wooden block for the knife set that was purchased.

Well, that didn't happen to me, so I can only guess. Maybe the sheath heated and cooled during transport and has trapped the knife.Or something was jammed into the sheath when the knife was inserted at the factory.My knife slides loose after a firm tug on the strap or handle.Sorry I don't know more.Maybe a call/Email to CRKT might help.www.CRKT.com

I see someone replied for the dimensions. I wrote a review about preventing the rods from splitting and bending. As of today, I have yet to bend one or see any shavings coming out of my block using the care I described. I love mine still! It looks great on my counter... If it helps, for large knives I have a chef knife, a santoku, a bread knife, a utility knive and two slicing knives. I have 4 smaller knives, two of which are paring knives. I also have two pairs of kitchen shears. I wouldn't put anything else in it. The largest blades do stick out a little but it's never been an issue. There is enough room that things wiggle in easily.

So sorry for delay. Those slots are very snug and will only fit 1 knife each, very thin slots that hold the knives quite still.

I am no expert by any stretch. I have not had that problem. I'd check to make sure the knives are in tight,that they are square and parallel and don't taper down. I wish I could be of more help to you. I have found the technical support at Grizzly to be very good. Your belt is tensioned correctly ? Good luck and if you can let me know if and how you got it taken care of. Steve

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.

My wife and I have one of those as well. Unfortunately it doesn't fit very well. The best knives to keep in it are Chef's, boning, paring or other long, thin bladed knives.

I don't think you have it pushed in all the way- it took me a while to figure out that unless there is a little "Click", the blade is not as far in as it needs to be for safety and stability. Makes it really hard to take it out-strong fingers needed but that's how it has to be. And this applies to all the blades. They click into place and once they have clicked, you can slice like crazy without any problems. Are you loving your slicer? We have been camping in a rental for a year and just moved into our "forever" home last weekend and have really missed our slicer. It will be a while before we unpack it but that will make the reunion all the better, I think.

I love mine, but had the same problem...I had an old SPYDERCO shapner, a base with two "V" shaped rods coming out of it and it works perfecly. Razor sharp when I'm done...this comes in a pouch and doesn't take up enough room in my pack to worry about. This sharpens anything, even fish hooks. I believe you can still buy these. If not, get a flat whet stone. That's the best help I can give you. R / Mack

No, and I wish it did....mine are still sitting in the box they came in.... I've looked for a knife block too, with no success.

There are different sized slots for different blades, I have a 7inch chefs knife that it holds perfectly and a 10in bread knife that works. Sorry if this doesnt help. For the price its a great block

The longest knife I have in the block has a 9" blade. In the upper slots, I would imagine you could have a knife with a blade a couple of inches longer without difficulty. Depending on the knives you have, you will want to check the widths of the blades as there is only one slot wide enough for my chef's knife with a wide blade.

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 have been using these knife blocks for many years and as long as I clean the knives before inserting the knives should be no problem

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 gave it as a gift and they said everything fit in the knive holders in the lid. I suggest taking a closer look at it maybe they go down more into the holder.

I'm sorry I can't respond to the question as I haven't had my knives long enough. However, I do have a suggestion for anyone who doesn't find the clear storage block attractive ... I bought the sheaved knives and, at a craft store, bought a pail (filled with beans) the color of one of the knives. It's attractive.
