how many open slots are in the block? and can you fit the 8" santoku and bread knife in it?

Four open slots. Having neither extra knives I could not say positively but I would imagine that they both could fit in any of the open slots.

There are 14 slots total, 4 of which are steak knife sized, leaving 5 larger and longer slots open. I have a large santoku in mine, and the longer slots at top should be plenty deep for the bread knife.

There are 3 open slots in the top of the block and 4 below for steak knives. The block fits an 8" chef's knife so it should fit both the santoku and bread knife.

No problem on the width, but the length could be a problem if the knife blade is a full 12 inches. The longest part of the block (top row) is 11 inches.

The slot is 4 7/8 inches wide. Enough room for my cleaver and a small boning knife.

I have about 8-9 knives. 4 or so chef size knives and 2 medium sized and 2-3 smaller/paring type knives. But could probably hold more if I packed them in more. Very happy with it.

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.

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.

Realistically the block will hold 11 knives, 5 on the bottom tier and 6 on the top. Any more would be unpractical. To hold 15 knives, all would have to be very small and the top tier would be very crowded.I have found the 5 on the bottom and 6 on top setup to be very functional with my current array of larger knives on the bottom and smaller knives on the top. I used assorted drawer dividers to keep the knife block in place and am very happy with it.

I don't have such knife. But the biggest slot is 2 1/2"wide and 10" length. I guess it can be fit in

It's specifically fitted for the 8.2 inch gyutou chefs knife. I'm not sure if another knife would fit.

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.

Largest slot is 4" with four 2" slots and rest smaller. Steak knives also fit very well. Very nice Knife block. Holds all my Japanese and German knives very well.

Largest top slot seems to be 11", the two under it are 10". My knives all have 8" blades, so that is my experience.

Cleaver slot is a little shy of 4 Inches. I love this knife block and am so happy I ordered it.

I have several knives that are 8 1/4" bread knives -- I believe you could probably get a 9" knife in because mine have to stop at the heads after the blades are inserted. This block is pretty deep, and I am very happy with it because I have assorted, non-matching knives and more than the slots can hold but I can actually put in two in one or two slots so I get them all in there. Hope this helps you.
