The longest blade I have is 10" and it worked fine with that. One change with the latest system vs. previous ones is with the vise. Both sides open and grip the blade, whereas with past systems only the right side would open and that caused the right and left side to have a different angle for the blade edge. Now there is perfect symmetry.
