I have the 17 slot storage block and the largest opening is 2.5 inches long

I measured 3 1/2 inches across the widest part. Hard to get exact measurment because that part of the blade is not flat, but has the corer in the middle.

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 slot length is 5 1/4 inch. Takes standard size slices with little additional clearance.

Sorry about the later reply. No. The deepest slot is the top slot (cleaver) which is about 10 1/8" deep. The second slot down, which will take about a 1 1/2 wide blade is 9 7/8" deep. The third slot down, also 1 1/2" wide is 9 1/4" deep. You should also know that the slots are cut all the way through so you can add about 1/8" depth to all of the slot if you don't mind that the tip of your knives will be resting on the counter. Hope this helps.

Look up the W Steak knife and check the length. Beware, quality issues with block. I RETURNED mine.

Although there is one 2.25" slot the are three 1.75" and couple of 2" slots the Shun block has 3 2.25 " slots so for large knives I think the Shun block is a better choice.

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.

I just now did an actual measurement of clamp surface to adjustment screw pad,(fully open) and I have 1 and 13/16 inches of opening; this is the adjustable opening maximum. The depth of the clamp, from the bottom of the U shape to the edge is 2 and 5/8 inches of opening. You can add another 1/8" to this depth as the adjuster pad extends beyond the clamp body. You can't trim back the clamp body to make it larger, (like with a hacksaw) as the body is not solid, but ribbed for extra strength. I may be wrong, but I think I saw these at Dick's Sporting goods, actually in the store. You could check online and call the store to see if they have it, and measure it yourself. ( I see that another answer gave different measurements...) These puppies are nice and sturdy; I use mine for canoe outriggers with two lobster floats attached to a tee. Good luck.

The cleaver slot on mine is 3 15/16 inches wide. If you have a wider cleaver than that you can carefully cut through the wood barrier on the right side of the slot into the next slot for a total of 5 1/4 inches.

The clamp is large. The opening measures three and a half inches so 3 inches or less should be fine

I would go by the measure of the opening for the drawer. My drawer side is 2.5 inches high and some of the handles to my knifes stick up higher than this. But the opening for my drawer is just under 4 inches and everything goes in smoothly. The blades will fit into the slots, so none of the blade on my knifes are higher than the block. If your drawer opening is 3 inches and your knife handles are not supper thick, than I think you shouldn't have a problem. Hope this helps.

Yes , I do believe a cleaver will fit in the second slot from the top , it is a wide slot and takes up the whole width of the block and is quite deep. Hope this helps you out.

It's 10 1/2 inches. Now please answer my question. What should I do with the extra knife block I received? It had been sent to the wrong address.

The Shun TDM0743 blade dimensions are listed as 2.4" x 7". The widest slot is 2.5", so it should fit in that one. I understand the tsuchime finished blades are a bit thicker than most, but it fits my heavier blades just fine.

I just measured a pick I'd made, and these dimensions are very close to 3 X 2.5 cm. I had to find a ruler that measured centimeters. Hope this helps. Conny

With blade open the knife measures 5 1/2 inches. Width is just at 1 inch.Blade closed it measures 3 inches. I hope that helps.
