Can this knife accommodate 10 inch knives without them sticking out at all? If so, how many?

I don't have any 10" bladed knives, but I put an 8 1/2 in and think I feel the tip hitting bottom so I don't think so. Do love this block though!

I have 13 different sizes (some of the smaller ones doubled up in a slot) and a scissors plus 8 steak knives in mine with no problem.

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

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

The 10 inch blade will fit. The handle might hang over. It will depend on how the blade and handle fit together whether it will work or not. My larger blades in Henkles do not fit as well as some other brands

Don't think any knives are "missing"...instead, the block has spaces for additional knives. We added a Santoku knife since we perfer it. Still have 4 add'l slots that I suppose would be good for specialty blades or other size blades.

I have a 10.25" bread knife and it fits fine in the top slot for the cleaver. It won't fit in the other slots because it's too wide so I don't know if there is a length constraint there. My 8 inch knife gyuto knife fits fine in the top slots.

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).

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.

The 10" bread knife should fit...however, what the picture and product description do not divulge is that the bottom of the block is not solid. The knife slots continue from the top of the block to the bottom. So your 10" knife should fit, but the tip of the knife may hit your counter top. Something soft underneath the bottom of the block should prevent any damage to the blade. All in all, it is a very nice block set. If your heart is set on finding a block specifically to accommodate your bread knife, then you may want to look for something else. Otherwise, if you really like this particular block set regardless of your bread knife, then it's a very good deal and I highly recommend.

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.

I actually returned this knife block because it did not fit the knives I have. I have a henkels 8" santoku, a 6" chefs knife, a 10" serrated bread knife and a paring knife. As well as six steak knives. This knife block is not deep enough for my serrated blade, and didn't have a slot wide enough for my santoku. Most of the slots were way too wide for other knives. It's also really low profile, so it took up a lot of space on my counter. I think there a fair number of slots, but none suited the knives I have.

I have over a dozen in mine - two 8-inch chef's, two 8-inch santoku, one six-inch santoku, one six-inch boning knife, eight steak knives, two paring knives, and one cheese knife. The block is great if you have a lot of shorter knives, especially the kinds you almost never sharpen. My larger, sharper knives have decimated the "fingers".

Supposed to hold 60 but that seems to put a strain on it.(elastic straps)..I have around 40 in mine and I purchased a extra one. 60 small knives may fit

I have a Western Bowie knife that measures 9 1/8 x 2 3/8 with very little extra length in the sheeth. I inserted a thin steel rod in the sheeth to see if there was any extra room but there was none. Your knife would probably fit but, depending on the hilt thickness it might bottom out and possibly cut into the bottom. The quality is exceptional as well as the price so you might want to get an extra in case you do eventually cut into the bottom.

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.

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

I have a 10" extra wide chef, 8" chef, 7" santoku and 8 " bread knife in there with a 3.5, 4.5 and 5" paring at the bottom. Hope this helps!
