will this fit 8" chef's? This product is 11" L, so i assume it'll work, but not sure if there's something internal that limits to 7" blade. A: I doubt it will fit an 8" knife--my 7" Japanese Nakiri knife fills it up completely--if you are referring to the 7" one. How did you get 11"--are you referring to the 7" edgeguard? An 11" edgeguard should be no problem for an 8" chef's knife--if that is what you are referring to.
UPDATE: I just measured mine--it is about 7 3/4" long--it is NOT 11" long.
