how many knives does it hold and how does it work?

There are elastic bands that run through the back to hold the knives in place. Then you roll it up and snap it closed. It could probably hold about 30 small edc type knives and about 10 or so larger "tactical" folder style knives.

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

It depends on the knives, my boyfriend stores some of the knives open in it because of the springs. You slide the knives through the black rubber bands, fold the red felt in, then fold it in thirds, and use the clips to close it.

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).

Depends on how big your knives are. If the handles are really skinny you can probably fit maybe 30 knives? It holds all I could ever think of putting in there. I love it!! I have Henckels knives and it probably fits 12 - 20. I don't know for sure because I have never been able to fill it up. Hope this helps!

It holds the 3 cutting/mixing blades, the 2 disks, and the center adapter. I also put in the little brush they give but not the scraper.. I like it. It's neat, clean, and safe.

there are 20 knife slots, and one for the steel and one for the sheers. Hope this helps - sorry it took me so long to get this answered.

I have about 10 knives in mine, ranging from a large butcher knife, down to steak knives. It depends on the size of the blades on your knives. Hope this helps!

Really depends on the knifes you will putting in it. I would say about 20 steak knifes close together.

We use it to hold 12 knives: three small paring knives, two 4" utility knives, one 4" wide-blade spreader, one 6" santuko, one 7" santuko, two 8" French, one 8" carving, and one 8" bread. It could easily hold more.

It holds 2 paring knives, a boning knife, a Santoku knife, a ten inch chefs knife, a carving knife, a bread knife, a sharpening tool and a serrated all purpose knife...it is perfect!

Hi, love this holder. I have 12 full carving, cutting and boning knives plus a full size mandolin knife. Its exceptionally sturdy and the magnetic grip is excellent, they don't move until you take them down.

I would say it would hold about six to eight each of forks, knives and spoons (in each space as pictured). I use it for outside and put plastic cutlery in it so for me, it holds a lot more since plastic forks, etc. are smaller.

It depends on your knives and your drawer space. I have about 20-ish in a standard drawer but a couple (in sleeves) facing the opposite way of the others. Also with the larger knives, which have larger handles, I had to place a knife in every other slot rather than every slot. But the great thing about this set is that you can configure it any which way you need.

I've owned this for about 7 months and it currently holds (2) steel and (2) ceramic knives that are very sharp. I have not seen any damage to the plastic rods. I really like this knife holder.

I adore this set. Each piece is just heavy enough. Surprised that it is a 5-piece set. The knives are rectangle in shape and I have to be sure which side is the sharp side when using. Yes, it is plenty sharp. Love the holder. I own two sets could use two more. I highly recommend it.

The sleds holds all different sizes. We have the 8" and 7" chef's knives, a Santoku knife, Carver, bread knife and even a Chinese cleaver in ours. The eight slots at the bottom hold steak knives.

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.

I have 2 paring knives, 1 6" utility knife, a 8" chef, a 10" bread knife, and a pair of kitchen shears--so 6 items. I could probably put a couple more in, but there is a point with this type of rod system where you put too many knives in and the rods will start to bind/get tight and hold the blades too firmly to slide them in/out easily. I'd say 8 of varied sizes is a good max fit, maybe 10 if small (with a tight fit). Block won't fit a 12" knife very well (too tall for the block)--works OK but the blade near the handle will be sticking out. Good luck. P.S. as other person mentioned, heavy and stable--like it for a small kitchen space.
