How many knives does it hold?

Obviously, it depends upon the size of the knives. But assuming a collection of "normal" knives, is will hold six to eight.

We have 7 Wusthof knives hanging from ours. THe knives range from a paring knife to a bread knife.

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.

That depends on the knives. I have 2 8" chef knives, an 8" santoku, a 12" carving knife, and a key chain bottle opener hanging on mine. It still has enough room to add a paring/petty knife.

Yes and No. Yes, the block has 9 slots above the steak knives but there are 6 knives and a sharpener. So....the 17 piece set I bought includes: 1 Wood Block, 1 Pr Kitchen Shears, 8 Steak Knives, 6 other Knives... AND 1 Sharpener (at upper rt hand corner). There ARE 9 slots altogether above the 8 steak knives housing the 6 knives and 1 sharpener. TWO SLOTS ARE INDEED OPEN (one large slot and one small slot). I easily concluded that this was in case the purchaser happened to have extra Calphalon knives on hand, which I did. So my block is filled beautifully.

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.

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

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).

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.

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 have over a dozen in mine - two 8-inch chef's, two 8-inch santoku, one six-inch santoku, one six-inch boning knife, eight steak knives, two paring knives, and one cheese knife. The block is great if you have a lot of shorter knives, especially the kinds you almost never sharpen. My larger, sharper knives have decimated the "fingers".

Depends on how big the knives are, not being funny, I currently have 12 in my block, a couple of the knives are a decent size. It was an excellent buy.

By all means store whatever you would like in the block if it fits. There are three of the knife openings/slots that are smaller than the others. These are the 2 on the lowest row & the 1 opening/slot located just above these 2.

I think it depends on the size of the flatware and type. I usually put plastic utensils in it and can easily fit 25 forks or spoons in it (maybe more) and definitely more knives. Hope this helps!

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.

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

I bought it for my son for Christmas, he said there's 6 steak knives, bread knife, paring knife, and a chopper knife. Hope that's helpful.

I would say it would hold about six to eight each of forks, knives and spoons (in each space as pictured). I use it for outside and put plastic cutlery in it so for me, it holds a lot more since plastic forks, etc. are smaller.
