I measured mine and the clamp won't open to 1.5 inches. I looks like it can open to 1.25 inches maximum.

No, the widest slot is for a large cutting knife. I don't believe it is wide enough for a cleaver.

I think the blade height is about 2". It fit just fine in standard knife block I have.

Here is basically what you have: 1 - 1 3/8" 2 - 1 7/8" 2 - 7/8" 1 - 1" 2 - 1 1/4" This is a absolutely GREAT knife holder.... Let me tell you what i done on a second one i ordered.. Its not hard to do, and just takes a little bit of time and patience, and you will need a second person to help you, BUT if your like me, i needed some extra wide slots.. I have all Shun EDO line of knives, and if you have seen their chef's knives, and Santoku knives, you know they are extremely wide.. You can do this to ANY of the slots, and the magnet is embedded in the block... Take the block and put on side and have someone hold down... Take a wood cutting Hacksaw blade and insert into one of the slots.. wrap tape or use a rag on each end (to grip hacksaw blade with) and saw out the little wood partition between 2 of the slots.. You want to saw in a downward motion (easier).. As a example, i sawed out the partition between the 2 small slots that were only 7/8", and that gave me a full 2" for a larger knive.. Just saw right at the edge, and your good to go.. This is the only swinging block that i am aware of on the market, and is really a great unit to have.. As with most blocks, you need larger slots, then all the smaller ones.. I hope this information helped.. Any other questions, please post up, and i will do my best to help you out.

The 8 steak knife slots are 7/8" wide on my block. They are on about 1 1/8" centers (about 1/4" between each). The block is 4 3/4" total width. I'm very happy with 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.

The blade is 1 13/16" wide or just a hair more than 1 3/4". It fits in the wide slots of the Wusthof knife block.

The width of the base piece is 3 5/8". The maximum width that that clamp can open is 4". I hope I answered your question appropriately. Please let me know if you have any further questions. Thank you, Taylor W. VIVO

I see someone replied for the dimensions. I wrote a review about preventing the rods from splitting and bending. As of today, I have yet to bend one or see any shavings coming out of my block using the care I described. I love mine still! It looks great on my counter... If it helps, for large knives I have a chef knife, a santoku, a bread knife, a utility knive and two slicing knives. I have 4 smaller knives, two of which are paring knives. I also have two pairs of kitchen shears. I wouldn't put anything else in it. The largest blades do stick out a little but it's never been an issue. There is enough room that things wiggle in easily.

Yep, pretty sure there are three slots that handles 2 inches or more, one is for a cleaver, so its close to 3.5 inches.

Our clamp will fully open at 3 1/4 inches - fully opened. This is for the C2 40 trolling motor. Best of luck! It's great!

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.

Our block doesn't look like the one in the picture but it is the 25 slot block. We have our shears in one of the wider slots and we've put our paring knives in the smaller slots. We've even got a cleaver in the flat longer slot.

It is an inch to an inch and half, it's great for cutting veggies, nuts. Well worth it, a lot better than a standard chopping block when using the Ulu

I have a 10.25" bread knife and it fits fine in the top slot for the cleaver. It won't fit in the other slots because it's too wide so I don't know if there is a length constraint there. My 8 inch knife gyuto knife fits fine in the top slots.
