How well would these fit into a knife block
1847654
I own these knives and keep them in my zwilling block. They stay just fine. In fact, the slight angle on the handle matches the angle of the block.

The blade measures about 3-5/8" long, about 9/16" wide, and about 3/32" thick. The handle is about 4-11/16" long, about 5/8" wide at the widest point, and just under 1/4" thick. The overall length is about 8-3/8". The handle, being thicker and longer, is heavier than the blade, so the balance point is about 3" from the end of the handle going toward the blade. I hope this helps.

Hello, these knives are made from a one piece design, and the handle is thinner than a normal steak knife, so even though they may fit into the slots, they might fall out. But they are still worth buying as they are very sharp and sleek. Just keep them in your drawer.

I have 3 standard (6 and 2 8" chefs knives in the blocks and they fit fine. dont think they go much wider than that.

I use those smaller slots for paring knives. However, I checked with my steak knives (4 1/2" blades) which fit fine. I also checked by putting in another knife with a 5 1/2" blade...no problem.

I bought this block for my daughter and don't know for sure if your knife will fit in the block. Your knife seems unusually long and wide. I measured my knives and block and your knife would not fit in my block and I believe my daughter's is roughly the same size. You may need to contact the manufacturer.

I don't know why it wouldn't be OK. They are just solid long skinny straws that makeup the knife compartment. (Like would be in a broom). Good luck.

I would go by the measure of the opening for the drawer. My drawer side is 2.5 inches high and some of the handles to my knifes stick up higher than this. But the opening for my drawer is just under 4 inches and everything goes in smoothly. The blades will fit into the slots, so none of the blade on my knifes are higher than the block. If your drawer opening is 3 inches and your knife handles are not supper thick, than I think you shouldn't have a problem. Hope this helps.

I agree with the other person that answered your question. This is a very nice set of knifes.

I've got about 8 in mine. Only problem is some have to go on an angle as they are longer than the block is deep despite the measurement quoted. Knives do not go all the way to the bottom.

standard silverware size, large knives like at outback and other steak places probably wont fit well, but a classical henkel or other steak knife fits just fine. I have my henkel brand steak knives in the block all the time, look them up and get their size. The slots will hold a something a little bigger but not much.

Can anyone provide a picture of how the knives are placed in this thing? Thanks.

I can fit 8" of my bread knife in. Have had it for two years with no problem.

The slots have plenty room for any Wusthof steak knife and to be honest, probably any other brand. You won't go wrong buying this block.

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

Here is basically what you have: 1 - 1 3/8" 2 - 1 7/8" 2 - 7/8" 1 - 1" 2 - 1 1/4" This is a absolutely GREAT knife holder.... Let me tell you what i done on a second one i ordered.. Its not hard to do, and just takes a little bit of time and patience, and you will need a second person to help you, BUT if your like me, i needed some extra wide slots.. I have all Shun EDO line of knives, and if you have seen their chef's knives, and Santoku knives, you know they are extremely wide.. You can do this to ANY of the slots, and the magnet is embedded in the block... Take the block and put on side and have someone hold down... Take a wood cutting Hacksaw blade and insert into one of the slots.. wrap tape or use a rag on each end (to grip hacksaw blade with) and saw out the little wood partition between 2 of the slots.. You want to saw in a downward motion (easier).. As a example, i sawed out the partition between the 2 small slots that were only 7/8", and that gave me a full 2" for a larger knive.. Just saw right at the edge, and your good to go.. This is the only swinging block that i am aware of on the market, and is really a great unit to have.. As with most blocks, you need larger slots, then all the smaller ones.. I hope this information helped.. Any other questions, please post up, and i will do my best to help you out.

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.

Well of course it depends on the size of the knives and how much space you want between them. I put 42 pocket knives in mine, and the are mostly between 3-1/4" to 4" long (closed).

I house a Victorinox 8 inch chef's knife and a Henckels Santoku in a 6-8 inch blade-safe. Both fit fine.
