What is the width of the STEAK KNIFE slots? I have eight large steak knives each with 1" width at the hilt.

The height of my slots is 7/8" and they are 1/8" wide. Mine has only 6 steak knife slots. It would be possible to increase the height of the slots by 1/4" or more. This is a wonderful Storage Block and could be well-worth having altered to accommodate your steak knives.

There are only 6 steak knife slots perpendicular at the bottom and 3 slots horizontal just above (probably not intended for steak knives). All slots are exactly 1 inch wide and 5 1/2 and about 9 inches deep, respectively.

I have 12 knives in mine including 4 steak knives, one large chef's knife and a big bread knife

There are 3 open slots in the top of the block and 4 below for steak knives. The block fits an 8" chef's knife so it should fit both the santoku and bread knife.

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

Mine is a different model although appears the same size--Does not have a place for butter knives--I just have them in the bottom drawer--The dinner knife slots will only fit one knife per slot--the case is wide enough for you to put the dinner knives where the photo shows the forks and spoons are--that is if you have room--by the way I bought mine at bed & Bath--if one is close to you --might look at one first before you buy -regards

I have an 8 inch chef's knife, and the entire blade fits into the slot. I didn't know they made a 14 inch chef's knife. Maybe there is one, but I haven't seen it. Are you measuring the blade plus the handle? If so, I would say your knife is probably a 10 inch chef's knife. If it is, the entire blade probably would not fit into the slot, which could be dangerous when you reach for a nearby knife and touch the sharp edge of you chef's knife.

Ok, actual dimensions are 11.5 x 5.6 x 8 inches ; 6.2 pounds. For me, it holds my bread knife, which is my longest knife, with no problem. It also holds a chefs knife, three santokus, a paring knife, a filet knife, and 8 steak knives. Oh, and my meat thermometer. Buy it. You will love it - I know I do!Oh, also, it holds darn near anything - the inside is thousands of plastic rods that conform around your knives. If one sticks up a little, no problem, because it is being held in place by the little plastic rods.

Hi, happy to help! The silver shaft of blade is 1" wide, and right before sharp tip it is 1/2" wide. Very good set up knives...I love them.

I didn't measure, but I can say this...they are plenty big enough for most any steak knife I've ever seen. Even the big ones that Texas Roadhouse gives you.

The lower 8 slots are 7/8", the upper portion has 3 slots about 1.5" and 4 slots about 2" and a slot for a cleaver and a bread knife (at least that's what I use it for).

The online steak knives I bought were the 3 1/2 inch version. This is the small version. The big version I've only seen at William Sonoma.

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 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" wide The hole for the sharpening steel is 5/8" square These 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!

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.

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).

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...
