how wide are the slots and how wide a knife will the larger slots take?

The largest slot is 2 1/4 long. The size of the knife is a Wusthof Classic 4582/20cm or 8" long. We love it looks great in the kitchen on the island.

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.

Depending on the actual thickness of the blade, it should. The biggest slot is 1/8 inch thick and 2.25 inches wide and at least 10 inches long (my longest knife, and it doesn't hit anything). I keep a 7" Santoku in the largest slot without issue, and with room to spare. I really like this knife block, and would recommend it if it holds the knife you need it to.

From the center of one slot to the center of the next slot is approximately 3/8". I alternated sides when I inserted the blades, so if the slots are horizontal, one blade comes in from the right, the next from the left. That gives a bit more leeway if your handles are extra large. Agree with S.K. Polley... the blade of a butter knife fits nicely.

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 one that I have, the 14 knife one, is around 9 inches. They make a 7 slot one that is 4 inches wide.

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).

Two 1.0 inch width slots, four 1.5 inch width slots, two 2.0 inch width slots. Last slot I use for sharpener (irregular) slot.

Apologies on the slow reply. All slots are 3/16" diameter. Lengthwise mine are the same as the previous answer. Fine for almost all cooking knives, not so good for anything heavier like a hunting knife blade or cleaver blade.

.75x1.25x4" deep. It should work for folding knives as long as they are not much wider than an inch and a quarter.

The sharpener slot is approximately 5/8" x 5/8". And I carefully dry the knives first...

I wanted to answer this question and comment on other responses because I used these as basis to determine if my knives would fit. The largest slot would NOT hold my 8" Wusthof chef knife, which was the reason I purchased the product.

So sorry for delay. Those slots are very snug and will only fit 1 knife each, very thin slots that hold the knives quite still.

The knife is 3-1/4" wide x 8" long. I have no idea what the other dimensions are referencing.

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.

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.
