Any suggestions for a knife block with multiple 2" slots?

This one has 1 that is 2.25" and 2 that are 2" as another responder reports. This has been a terrific knife block for my multiple needs and it looks great too!

This is very flexible a knife-block, which does not have fixed slots like a wooden block. Thus, it is completely up to you to decide how you want to keep the knives inside them. You can put them along the length, diagonally, or even across the length. I put around 8 knives (6 small knives, one ceramic santoku, one long bread knife, and even a thin vegetable peeler), and yet there's space for a bit more probably. The good part is that the knives stay snug inside - I feel they stay better than in a wooden block. Hope this helps.

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.

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.

Yes. At least three slots are 8" deep; one slot is over 11" deep (that holds my longest knife). In addition, I am pleased with the solidity of the product. It doesn't move even when I pull the sharpener steel; other blocks are not substantial enough.

Two 1.0 inch width slots, four 1.5 inch width slots, two 2.0 inch width slots.Last slot I use for sharpener (irregular) slot.

We have a Henckels block and all the knives appear to fit, but not necessarily in the same slots. The Komachi bread knife doesn't fit in the regular bread slot, but it will fit on the other side. The 2 missing knives are the middle range utility knives from the Henckels. So far we LOVE our Komachi knives!!!!

I have a bread knife that size. :) The knife holder will only fit 7 knives of that size. It alternates between large knives and small knives.

I measured the slots and here is what I came up with:3 @ 2"1 @ 2 1/8"2 @ 1 1/4"1 @ 1 1/2"2 @ 1"The scissor slot is 1 5/8" wideThe hole for the sharpening steel is 5/8" squareThese numbers are very precise. For instance, a 2 1/4" blade would not fit in the 2 1/8" slot. I have a combination of Shun, Wusthoff and Henckels knives in my block. Good luck!

I have 2 paring knives, 1 6" utility knife, a 8" chef, a 10" bread knife, and a pair of kitchen shears--so 6 items. I could probably put a couple more in, but there is a point with this type of rod system where you put too many knives in and the rods will start to bind/get tight and hold the blades too firmly to slide them in/out easily. I'd say 8 of varied sizes is a good max fit, maybe 10 if small (with a tight fit). Block won't fit a 12" knife very well (too tall for the block)--works OK but the blade near the handle will be sticking out. Good luck. P.S. as other person mentioned, heavy and stable--like it for a small kitchen space.

Look up the W Steak knife and check the length. Beware, quality issues with block. I RETURNED mine.

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 was pleasantly surprised how well our knives fit in the block and in our 4" drawers. You should have no problem with the 3" drawers.

No problem with knife slots... be aware, the color is not really walnut. It's like dark cherry.

Slot is 10cm or just under 4 inches wide. Very happy with this knife block.

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.

The top two slots are 2 inches wide, max, so a 2 1/4 inch blade would be too wide. Too bad, because it's a nice block.
