This review is from: Wusthof 17-slot Storing Knife Block.
The Wusthof 17 slot knife block is made of finished oak. It takes up about 4.5"x10.5" of counter space. Its slots are as follows, from top to bottom:
- wide slot for a chef's knife of up to 10.5" (27cm) blade length
- square hole for a sharpening steel of up to 10.5" (27cm) length
- wide slot for a chef's knife of up to about 9.5" (24cm) length; you might be able to put a 10" knife in this slot, but the tip might protrude a bit into the space between the bottom and the counter
- slot for a narrower knife of up to about 9.5" (24cm) length, such as a carving knife or a bread knife; as above, you might be able to squeeze in a 10" knife
- two moderately wide slots for knives up to 9" (22cm) blade length; note that a 23cm blade would probably not fit, even though it would still round to 9"
- wide slot for a chef's knife of up to 8" (20cm) blade length
- narrow slot with a curved cutout, 8" length; my Wusthof kitchen shears will fit this slot,...Read more

This review is from: Wusthof 17-slot Storing Knife Block.
