Trying to decide between the 8" and 10" knife. Are both lengths about the same for cutting bread? Which has more practical uses? Thank you.

We like the longer blade. Never tried the 8". We use this knife for EVERYTHING.

I bought the larger one and I think it is more useful then the 8". The knife is awesome. It is sharp as a razor. I used it today to make two cut in a sourdough rye bread dough I baked. The raw dough is very sticky and you need a real sharp knife to make the cut. This is a multipurpose knife for me.

I prefer the Victorinox's length when slicing sourdough boules, because you can let the bread sit normally on its flat bottom. The 8" blades are just a tad too short and thus more likely to have either a messy slice or create a hazzard. I have both styles, but my go to one is the longer.,

I bought the 10" knife and find that it is great for carving etc but a bit unwieldy for bread/more basic use. I would go for the 8" version -

The 10" is VERY LONG - longer than I expected. It's really nice for cutting, but way too big for my knife block. I have to keep in in a drawer.

As I say this out loud before I typed it, it sounded bad. But, size is based on your own preference. For a knife used in field dressing, I prefer a 6 inch blade as it is easier to handle, less chance of cutting myself or damaging the blade and just easier to use. This size works fine for deer, I've never tried to use it for anything else.

Any 10" blade will fit! You have to use an 8" Dado blade set. I love this saw, accuracy of cuts is exceptional.

1 is a paring knife approximately 3 inches the other is a 6 inch chef's knifeI gave them to someone as a gift and they love them. they're excellent starter nights I personally like a larger knife. 8 to 10 inch chef's knife .

I have successfully used the 10 inch stacked dado in my Sear 10 inch table saw. The weight and large cut is hard on the motor. I take only shallow cuts and go slowly to minimize the impact on the saw motor. I suggest that you use an 8 inch set.

We'retalking only an inch in difference but the 9 inch blade has a higher speed at the cutting edge.Naturally a bigger path is cut through the brush.The 10inch seems to hit every rock and stone you come across,it's edge rotates even faster and at times can be tough to control.My money is on the 9er,good luck and protect your eyes.

I used the 10" blade on a 10" Skil table saw very successfully. No idea why it would not work on other makes of table saws of the same size.

the knife overall is about 13.5" and the blade portion is about 8.5". I make a variety of breads at home and have been using this knife a lot more than I ever thought I would. You won't be disappointed!

The Eight Inch Set Will Work The Best.....If You Nee A Greater Cutting Depth.....But They Both Will Work Just Fine For Normal Use....

If the 8- and 10-inch knives are both made in Switzerland, why are they significantly cheaper to buy in the States?

I read on Amazon that they were between 1.4 & 1.8 inches wide. I've had excellent results with my bread slicer and spatulas. With the knife, the longer the easier to slice through good bread.

Yes I like it, it works for me. The 12 inch blade is long but I like it for brisket, the 10 inch should be better.

it's about the size of a good sized steak knife...it's not a BIG knife, but perfect for eating meals with and for using for general use in the kitchen. Might want a bigger knife for a loaf of bread? It's my favorite kitchen knife though because I use it for everything from avocado, to meat, rolls, tomatoes, etc. Totally worth the price...I know they're expensive but this is actually my 2nd one because I wanted a "just-in-case" one...I take the second one to work with my lunch ...

I didn't know so I tried an 8 inch blade. It was easy and may have taken 2 minutes longer than a larger sharpener would. I bought several for gifts.

Thank you! The only other knife I've owned was about one inch long. I appreciate your help.

If you only need 6 inches of cooking surface either the 8 or the 10 inch will work with room to spare. I hope this helps.

It relates to the size of the knife, I have a #8 and it is a GREAT knife! Go with carbon steel as it will take and hold an edge much better than stainless.These knives are based on what was called penny knives and were a trade knife in the 1800's. Probably the first lock blade pocket knife made.
