How many knives does it hold?
283105
it depends on the size of the knives - and the size of the handles of the knives, but the rack holds quite a few knives. btw...i ordered a second one for scissors, and miscellaneous items
283106
I have 16, including 2 chef knives, scissors, and a sharpener. Includes other large knives and could get more in if I wanted.

The short answer is as many as you want. Since there are no pre-sized slots, you can insert big knives, small knives, cleavers, scissors, and just about anything sharp. Watch this video for a visual explanation: http://youtu.be/oxryUJS_mu0They've expanded the color offerings beyond red and black. I hope you get one -- Enjoy!

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!

We use it to hold 12 knives: three small paring knives, two 4" utility knives, one 4" wide-blade spreader, one 6" santuko, one 7" santuko, two 8" French, one 8" carving, and one 8" bread. It could easily hold more.

Could hold 18+ depending on how they are inserted & the bulk of the handles if you really wanted to squeez. Easy in & out, non dulling & can configure any way most convenient for use. Great design! Bill

I've never filled it up. It depends how fat the handles are. You really can fit as many as you can jam in there. I would say it would hold a minimum of 10 knives and maybe up to 30 if you had really skinny handles.

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

The interior of the knife holder is not divided into pre-cut slits like you would see on a knife block. There are hundreds of slender plastic rods that fit in to fill the space, tight but not too tight to prevent pushing as few or as many knives in as you want, at any angle. The space these slender rods fill is 7 3/4" x 1 1/2", so there is a limit to the number of knives it can hold, but I would say it's an average of 12.

Can't give exact count. I have extra large, large, and small. I would say a dozen assorted. Love this!

I've got about 8 in mine. Only problem is some have to go on an angle as they are longer than the block is deep despite the measurement quoted. Knives do not go all the way to the bottom.
283116
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.
283117
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 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.

Right now, I have 10 knives of various sizes, half of them have somewhat large blades. As others are saying, I could probably fit more. The best part is the flexibility of putting whatever size knife you have wherever it fits, and not being tied to slots. I bought one for my daughter who admired mine when she was visiting during the holidays. She and her friends think it's great.

I have a full 10-knife Henckel set on mine and it holds fabulously! I love it and would definitely recommend it!

Realistically the block will hold 11 knives, 5 on the bottom tier and 6 on the top. Any more would be unpractical. To hold 15 knives, all would have to be very small and the top tier would be very crowded.I have found the 5 on the bottom and 6 on top setup to be very functional with my current array of larger knives on the bottom and smaller knives on the top. I used assorted drawer dividers to keep the knife block in place and am very happy with it.

Gee, it depends on how wide the blades are. It has 13" of space for knives...that's six 2-inch-wide knives, for instance.

Really depends on the knifes you will putting in it. I would say about 20 steak knifes close together.

The drawer has 10 slots which will hold dinner knives although only the two end slots will hold a dinner knife securely. You could place two knives in each of the wider slots if the knives were placed nose to tail in each slot. The nose to tail configuration will also hold the knives in place. Hope this helps. With 24 knives you won't have much room for serving pieces. If I remember correctly there is a two drawer version available.

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.

There are 14 slots total, 4 of which are steak knife sized, leaving 5 larger and longer slots open. I have a large santoku in mine, and the longer slots at top should be plenty deep for the bread knife.

The large one can hold about 9 to 11 large knives, and the smaller one about 9 steak knives.

Eight. But we don't use it for silverware. We use it on top of our dresser for my husband's pocket items. Change, knives, keys, etc.

I have a 15 inch chef knife, and there is about 3 inches of space left over. It is a nice case, plenty of room.

I have a bread knife that size. :) The knife holder will only fit 7 knives of that size. It alternates between large knives and small knives.

As I indicated in my review, I barely fit my pistol (fat) handled knives in the lid space reserved for knives. If you feel along the velvet ledge along the bottom of the lid, you will find 12 slits. I shoved my rounded tops down into the slits, so they're upside down. Mine are long, too, and just fit once shoved down. Fortunately, I only have 8 settings; 12 fat knives would not have fit.

Four open slots. Having neither extra knives I could not say positively but I would imagine that they both could fit in any of the open slots.

This is very flexible a knife-block, which does not have fixed slots like a wooden block. Thus, it is completely up to you to decide how you want to keep the knives inside them. You can put them along the length, diagonally, or even across the length. I put around 8 knives (6 small knives, one ceramic santoku, one long bread knife, and even a thin vegetable peeler), and yet there's space for a bit more probably. The good part is that the knives stay snug inside - I feel they stay better than in a wooden block. Hope this helps.

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.

The Block actually has 8 Knife slots and one for the Steel, as well as the 8 Steak knives.Hope that helps!
