how many knives can it hold?

My son has 6 knives in his right now. Could hold maybe 10 knives of about small to medium size.

It really is going to depend on the size of the knives and how you lay them out... open or closed.

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).

there are 2 chefs knives a large and small, a serrated bread knife, a carving knife, 2 paring knives, 6 steak knives, a pair of kitchen shears or scissors, a sharpening steel and a wood block to hold them all.

The top storage level can handle 12 knives and the 12 steak knives can be stored in the lower two drawers.

its not very big i don't have an exact but the knife they show in the image is probably a paring knife. you could possibly fit 3-4 full size knives on it

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.

If you lay the complete set of 4 in a single line, you could get 60 or so thin knives in them. However, I don't have 60 thin knives so I put the tip of the blades in one section and the blade closest to the handle on another section. I also put the knives in every other slot so there's plenty of room for the ones with large-handles. I tried many ways to configure the set until I found the best placement of the knives I have. I love the set. I think it saves so much space and is much safer than just laying them in the drawer (and who has space for that!?)

Hello Elizabeth. This chest was purchased as a gift so I really can't say if it can hold a setting for 16. I have seen the setting of 12 in the chest and there may be some room for extras. The drawer gives extra space so I'm sure you would find space for the extra 4 knives. Best of luck to you. It's a lovely piece.

I use it to hold 15 knives,one kitchen shears and one sharpening steel, and there is room for more. I am quite happy with 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.

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!

I don't know the exact dimensions of the compartments, but base don my usage you can fit 10 or more (depending on design) forks and spoons....with knives you can fit even more because of their slander shape, I'd guess that 14 or more knives should fit. However, because this is somewhat of a compact tray our knives only fit in one of the bottom vertical compartments, so we put our dinner forks in the top, horizontal compartment.

I have about 8-9 knives. 4 or so chef size knives and 2 medium sized and 2-3 smaller/paring type knives. But could probably hold more if I packed them in more. Very happy with it.

Depends on the knives, but I have 10 or 11 in mine. Like it a lot. Heavy base keeps it stable.

Hello Elizabeth. There are slots for 12 knives on the lid as you can probably tell by the picture. Additionally, there are 12 more slots which you cannot see in the picture that are on either side of the base below where the forks and spoons rest. I just put four of my knives there and they fit just fine. I have 12 spoons in my set and I could easily add 4 more. I could fit more forks in the chest as well. And the pull out drawer holds quite a bit. I have 6 serving pieces in there and there's room for more pieces if you can't fit them in the base. Hope this helps.

I have 16 in it now, but could add more if needed. It depends on the size of the knife of course. It was a great find.I have all my knives in it to keep them out of the drawers for safety.

I have four steak knives, kitchen shears, a paring knife, small Santuko knife, a chefs knife and a bread knife in mine, spaced nicely apart as it is now, but also could fit more. It's not quite deep enough to hold all of the blade of the bread knife, just FYI. I don't mind, but it could be a problem if you try to load more knives...

I probably have 30 knives in it. You just keep adding and adding to get them out of drawers and it continues to keep mine standing at an angle ready to be used. I've purchased at least 6 of them for friends who have seen mine and loved it.
