how long is the actual cutting edge of the blade?

I don't know, it was not very good and I returned it. Food gets caught between the blades and it gets hot.

Just measured it. It is 7" long for the cutting edge. The TOTAL length of the blades are 11" long. The first 3" go into the handle and then there's about 1" that is the blocking guide, so you can't push them in any farther. That leaves you with 7" of the cutting blade. I really like this knife, it has a good feel and balance to it. Hope this helps you. S.R.

I'm not sure. The knife worked great for the first use at Thanksgiving. Using a second time at Christmas, the knives stuck in the unit. I tried everything to remove the blades. The unit was of marginal quality-- so I returned it before time ran out.

The knife worked great for the first use at Thanksgiving 2012. For second use, Christmas of 2012, the blades remained stuck in the unit. I tried everything to remove them, and then gave up. I returned this marginal quality unit, while I still had time to do so. Not a very great performer-- very disappointing

The blade is approximately 12 inches in length. You lose maybe a half inch overall ? for the attachment. It is a very small portion of the entire blade length.

The blade is about that long. The cutting surface goes right to the handle whereas some knives stop before the handle. I love these knives, because they are very sharp. This brand of knives is better than the more expensive ones in my opinion.

The blade is 14" long and the handle is 5.5 inches in length. While we are on the blade it is sharp as heck. You can cut our self badly if not careful. It comes in a plastic sleeve which my wife through away for some reason. I suggest keeping it in the sleeve.

Hi Jack, I believe the blade is 2.7 inches. That is what the literature says.

The blade is 7". Don't remember the whole knife length. It's a great knife for a wide range of tasks.

According to bladehq.com the overall length (fully open) is 9 inches. The blade is 4 inches.

The blade is right at 10" from the handle to the tip of the blade. Overall, the knife is right at 15" long.

The actual blade itself is 7 1/2 inchs, the whole blade including the part that fits INTO the handle is 11 inchs. :)

The blade itself is 8.25 inches long from tip to handle. The blade's sharpened edge appears to go a tad over 7.5 inches down from the tip.

The actual "blade" is at least 20". Item - quality, size, safety- met our needs perfectly.

I measured the blade with a ruler, and its almost 2 inches. Maybe an inch and 5/8. Hope this helps.

As stated on Spyderco's website (http://www.spyderco.com/catalog/details.php?product=788), both the blade overall length & cutting edge are 3.46'' [88mm] long...

Approximately 60 inches (5 ft.). I cut it much shorter because I didn't need it that long.

Pulled that knife and the ruler. 3 5/8"...from the end of the scales...aka handle.....to the end of the blade. Cutting edge is closer to 3 1/4"......hope that is helpful?

This is difficult. From the fulcrum (the pivot point), the blades extend about 3 inches. The cutting edge on one blade is about 2.5 inches and about 2 inches on the other because of a notch meant to retain round material (like flower stems) to be cut by the other blade.

I believe it is at least 8" long. It's a beautiful knife. Workmanship is solid.
