Are the measurements provided for the blade itself or for the blade + handle? (e.g. 9" Slicing Knife - 8" Chef's Knife etc.)

For the blade... These are are the two larger knives. They are really great knives, I love them!!

I would need measurements on the blade length and width to properly answer your question.

The longest knife I have in the block has a 9" blade. In the upper slots, I would imagine you could have a knife with a blade a couple of inches longer without difficulty. Depending on the knives you have, you will want to check the widths of the blades as there is only one slot wide enough for my chef's knife with a wide blade.

I don't know about maximum length, but the 8" chopping knife fits in the 2" slot and the 6" slicing knife fits in the 1.5" slots.

As long as total length of blade and handle is 18" or less it will fit fine. A 9" Dexter knife with the bulky plastic sleeve fits with room to spare.

It's the blade. From the tip to the start of the handle - at the sharp side of the blade is 10". It's a great knife... though lighter in weight than I though it would be.

The description given by Amazon states, "This set includes an 8inch slicer, 8-Inch chef's knife, 7-Inch santoku, 5.5-Inch boning knife, 4.5-Inch utility knife, 3.5-Inch paring knife and kitchen shears in black block." I checked this against what is in my kitchen block and this was accurate when I bought my set last year.

The blade is 4 inches. The entire knife is just shy of 8 and 1/2 inches long.

There is an 8", 5" and then a 3" pairing knife. I've had mine for over six months and they are still great!

Unfortunately, I do not have the knife at my home to give a measure in inches. The knife is approximately the length of a bread knife. Sorry I can't be more specific.

I own 3 Victorinox knives. One has a 6" blade. The other two are 8". Regarding the one you are interested in, I think it's safe to expect the 10" to be a description of the length of the blade only.

I ordered both I prefer the 8" the other required an additional piece for the 9"blade.

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.

Handle length is actually about 3.6 inches, and the actual blade length is 7". The blade has about a half inch that has absolutely no edge before it even reaches the finger guard. But the overall measurement includes not just the blade and grip, but also the finger guard, and the butt of the hilt of the knife's grip. The bottom end of the handle, isn't treated as a part of the grip. The widened part at the bottom of the hilt isn't meant to grip. But that part alone, is about an inch by itself.

The knife is 10 inches including the handle. The blade itself is 5 1/2 inches. These knives are awesome, great & wonderful. I would suggest to get the Black handles. The silver handles gets discolored when put in the dishwasher. The black are the best.
