What are the measurements on each of the slots? I have a number of extra-wide knives and need to know if they will fit in the slots.

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!

Although there is one 2.25" slot the are three 1.75" and couple of 2" slots the Shun block has 3 2.25 " slots so for large knives I think the Shun block is a better choice.

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.

Gee, it depends on how wide the blades are. It has 13" of space for knives...that's six 2-inch-wide knives, for instance.

From the center of one slot to the center of the next slot is approximately 3/8". I alternated sides when I inserted the blades, so if the slots are horizontal, one blade comes in from the right, the next from the left. That gives a bit more leeway if your handles are extra large. Agree with S.K. Polley... the blade of a butter knife fits nicely.

Sorry about the later reply. No. The deepest slot is the top slot (cleaver) which is about 10 1/8" deep. The second slot down, which will take about a 1 1/2 wide blade is 9 7/8" deep. The third slot down, also 1 1/2" wide is 9 1/4" deep. You should also know that the slots are cut all the way through so you can add about 1/8" depth to all of the slot if you don't mind that the tip of your knives will be resting on the counter. Hope this helps.

I would like to be able to answer your question, but the block was a Christmas gift for my daughter-in-law and she was excited for the twenty slots for knives. She didn't mention the slot size. Sorry.

The one that I have, the 14 knife one, is around 9 inches. They make a 7 slot one that is 4 inches wide.

The one I have is about 10 inches long and about two inches wide, so it fits about half a dozen big kitchen knives.

Slot is deep enough, but fit will depend on the width of the knife. That's said, the slot is pretty wide.

The width of the slots varies, just like any knife block. It holds my 7" chef's knife, paring knife, utility knife, and bread knife. The two widest slots are 1-7/8" wide; the next widest is 1-1/4". It might not hold a 9" chef's knife, but otherwise, it should hold all of your cutlery.

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.

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

Ok, let me try this... There are 4 holes on each end. The holes are approximately 1/4" slotted holes with the slots running side to side. I didn't measure the length of the slots but would guess it to be ~3/8" wide. The outermost 2 of the 4 holes are ~10-3/4" apart, the innermost 2 holes are ~6" apart, the innermost 2 holes are each about 2-3/8" in from the outermost holes. The holes are ~32-3/8" center to center as measured from side to side. Hope that is clear. In other words you can look at it having 2 rectangles. outer is 10-3/4" X 32-3/8", inner is 6" X 32-3/8". Hope that helps. I don't use the holes. I tie mine down with nylon straps through the handles.

The 8 steak knife slots are exactly 15/16" each. I have Henkels steak knives that are 14/16" at the hilt and they have just a little bit of wiggle room.

The bread knife I have is 8 1/2" long and fits in a slot 2 1/4" wide. Not knowing the length/width of the Cutco knife, this is the best answer I can provide.

the slots are 6" long and 2" wide. i haven't put anything in them yet that hasn't fit well, and i have had mine a year now. my sister has had hers 2 or 3 years and still loves 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.
