Is the 8-inch blade in this set the same knife that is sold separately, right now, on Amazon for $34.99. That is the chef's knife I want in my set.

Hi, yes, that knife comes in the set. I know because I have Swiss item #5.2063.20 printed on the Blade of mine and that is the same number that the description has for the same knife that is being sold for $34.99

Yes, it is the same chef knife. This knife is a wonderful addition to any collection. I buy these for myself and all of my grown children for them to have great kitchen knifes.

Yes, it's the same knife. The blades both show the same number (40520) on them.

That's a good Question. From the looks of it, probably not. I still like it and it has a high "wow" factor. It would be the one knife I would want it I had one to choose.

This is a retail packaged set of 8. There is no individual or 4 piece version of this knife available from the manufacturer.

The chef knife is an 8 inch. Works wonderfully... Make nice smooth cuts and makes cooking easy.

Actually the Victorinox I purchased was the 6 inch, and it is the blade that measures 6 inches. I just checked my 8 and 10 inch chef's knives, and the measurement on all refers to the blade. Just a personal comment, a 10 inch chef's knife is a really long one and, as sharp as the Victorinox is, it might be more cumbersome (even dangerous) unless you have large hands and good control. The 8 inch is a good standard size, and the 6 and 8 are my go-to knives. Hope this helps.

yes it is 8" the handles are the same as the 12" knives. For the price these knives give you bang for your buck.

There is an 8 inch Chef's knife #31071, a 5 inch serrated utility knife #31070, and a 4 inch paring/utility knife #31070. I know the last two numbers are the same but it is exactly what is printed on the blade. The paring/utility knife is a bit larger than our other two paring knives which we prefer. These are the Zwilling JA Henckels made in Germany and are awesome. They are NOT the cheaper J.A. Henckels International ones. If you have never owned knives such as these I strongly suggest you buy a sharping steel to keep the edges straight. They stay sharp for a LONG time and are hard to sharpen because of the steel so we don't even bother with it anymore. Once every year or so we take them all and have them sharpened and at $2 per knife.

Yes that's a bargain price retail is over $400 as you can see other sellers price point. Amazon has but they have a 1-4 month shipping lead time. We are able to ship out tomorrow. It's a great set of knives hopefully you will be able to obtain one soon.

Don't know country of origin but as a damascus blade, perhaps, Japan. It is very similar with the Shun 8 inch chef knife, which I also own. It's slightly shorter than a Shun and lighter. The blade is sharp; remember to hone blade edge prior to cutting. I wanted to try a chef knife approx 40% less than a Shun. For the price wonderful knife. Also try a Zhen VG-10 or 3-ply knives.

Bruce, I have no idea where you got those prices. The 12 piece set sells at Sear's for $219.99 right now so your numbers seem high. I paid about $160 before taxes for my 10 piece set, wish I'd got the 12 piece. This cookware isn't magic but it is good, I love using it, highly recommended with the understanding, make the pans hot before adding the food. Good luck

I'm so sorry but I'm not able to answer your question. I've looked on line for this set but it does not give the information you requested anywhere.It's also not indicated on the knife itself.Peter

I have the Victorinox 4, 5 and 8" chef knives, but not the 3.25", so I have no basis for comparison. I really like the three I have.

It's not a crazy deal. Just marketing. The regular price is about $200. The paramilitary 2 is a better knife all around for less

My purchase was from Amazon LLC, so direct from them. I ordered on March 23, 2014 and received it on January 21, 2015. So, in short, close to a year. The knife is no longer manufactured from what I understand so don't expect it soon or at all. I believe Amazon no longer sells it directly either so only third party vendors are going to have it (maybe).

Amazon's listed prices are usually among the best on the net. If you can't order from Amazon, then don't be afraid to pay a bit more from a trusted source. The knives themselves are worth much more than their price indicates based on their fit, finish and overall craftsmanship.

why is this a question on every knife i look at on amazon? it clearly states the answer in the description. is it too much to simply google the manufacturer's website and find out for yourself if you already cant read the amazon description? do you even know what full tang means?
