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!

yes they will. the blade at it's widest point is 7/8" so it will fit with no problems. we have ours in a knife block as well. fyi-we read somewhere that you should store knives upside down in the knife block. the reason...as you slide the knife in and out of the slot with the sharp side rubbing against the block, it will dull the knife quicker. if the slots are horizontal, there is no issue.

I believe I have one paring knife (my most used), one slightly larger, one about 4 inches and one about 5 inches. They all work very well and I am very happy with them.

We had bread knives whose blades were 8 inches. In this block, only 7 inches would fit. After a short while, the plastic "tines" would bend and soon we could only use the block for short pairing knives. Hated it.

The set I got was complete in that it had all of the knives listed on the package but there are still open spots on the knife block. I bought a cleaver, 8" carving knife and 8" Hollow Edge to fill out the block.

I don't own an 8 inch chefs knife, but I can tell you that there are 2 slots that are 1 & 3/4 inches wide. All the slots go right through the block (little tunnels), so if the slot is wide enough to fit the width of your chefs knife, theoretically it should be fine.

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.

Yes and no. I have a 10" bread knife and it just fits in the top slot without protruding or being flush with the base. An 11" knife will fit but the tip will protrude out the base almost an inch. Due to the angle of the block there is ample clearance from the counter and the tip would not touch the counter, but it will not be protected by wood and a curious hand could contact the tip. I love the quality of the block, nice rubber feet. I have two 8" chefs knives in the top two right hand slots. The left squarish hole meant for a steel (which I don't own) is perfect for a pair of small pointy shears. Hope that helps. Yes and no.

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.

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.

The description given by Amazon states, "This set includes an 8inch slicer, 8-Inch chef's knife, 7-Inch santoku, 5.5-Inch boning knife, 4.5-Inch utility knife, 3.5-Inch paring knife and kitchen shears in black block." I checked this against what is in my kitchen block and this was accurate when I bought my set last year.

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.

That depends on the knives. I have 2 8" chef knives, an 8" santoku, a 12" carving knife, and a key chain bottle opener hanging on mine. It still has enough room to add a paring/petty knife.

Yes! I have 2 santoku knives, one small and one large, plus a 10" break knife and could easily add 2 more knives.

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.
