will this block or any block you make accomodate 2 knives exactly 3" wide at the hilt and 2 knives exactly 4" at the hilt? Need 4 wide slots

While there are several wide slots on this block, the widest is exactly big enough for a three-inch blade, and there s only one of them on this block. Looks like you need something bigger.

My answer is same as below responses. I'm not aware of any block that would fit the specifications you are seeking.

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 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!

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

Our block doesn't look like the one in the picture but it is the 25 slot block. We have our shears in one of the wider slots and we've put our paring knives in the smaller slots. We've even got a cleaver in the flat longer slot.

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.

Depends on size...I've got 4 katanas and 2 Jo staffs in mine...anything much bigger than those in width and this isn't going to work

I have a jet band saw with the standard square slots that excepted the Olsen cool blocks. If you have the rectangular block slots it should work just fine.

Part of the blade will definitely stick out with normal use (at least 2").If it is the only knife in the block, and you insert it diagonally, then it may come close to covering the blade...

The height of my slots is 7/8" and they are 1/8" wide. Mine has only 6 steak knife slots. It would be possible to increase the height of the slots by 1/4" or more. This is a wonderful Storage Block and could be well-worth having altered to accommodate your steak knives.

Yes , I do believe a cleaver will fit in the second slot from the top , it is a wide slot and takes up the whole width of the block and is quite deep. Hope this helps you out.

No, the widest slot is for a large cutting knife. I don't believe it is wide enough for a cleaver.

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

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

Is that 1-1/2" bladed knives? Sounds wrong, as does 21 1/2" knives. There is a shears slot and room for 6 steak knives (or smaller paring knives). I have 9 knives, a sharpening steel and 6 steak knives in this block. Unfortunately the block did crack at its side....still usable just not as pretty.

Yes and No. Yes, the block has 9 slots above the steak knives but there are 6 knives and a sharpener. So....the 17 piece set I bought includes: 1 Wood Block, 1 Pr Kitchen Shears, 8 Steak Knives, 6 other Knives... AND 1 Sharpener (at upper rt hand corner). There ARE 9 slots altogether above the 8 steak knives housing the 6 knives and 1 sharpener. TWO SLOTS ARE INDEED OPEN (one large slot and one small slot). I easily concluded that this was in case the purchaser happened to have extra Calphalon knives on hand, which I did. So my block is filled beautifully.

My block is wood and has spaces for steak knives. The one in this picture is not familiar to me. Sorry.
