Is the center of the knife/cutting blade (not the cutting plates) square, round, or octagon?

It's been some time since I've used mine, but if I remember correctly it is round.

It's slightly curved, but the blade is short. It is like almost every cutter I've ever seen. Ken

The main blade is not serrated. It is a straight blade. You will love this knife.

The two paring knives are straight edge, two large knives are straight edge, and one big knife is serrated. I really like this set of knives, they cut well and are easy to use. Were heavier than I expected, and have not had any trouble with rusting that some people talked about in the reviews. Great set for the price.

this shows an round end and that's what I need...but description and reviews make it sound like an octagonal end. so which is it?

It's definitely not round. It is, however, pretty wonderful. After being treated to charcoal soap my friend brought back from Japan and failing to find something similar in stores here in he US, this is a great replacement.

The end is squared with rounded edges.. These chopsticks are lively to use; the striations at the tapered end help keep food on, especially rice.

Mine was octagon shaped, kind of like the picture. The "No's" are different than the one you would buy from a novelty store, but it does say "No" quite a few different ways. For the difference in price, unless you are looking specifically for that novelty one, this is not a bad purchase.

I would say the loaf's cross-section is rectangular, although it close to being a square. Hope this helps.

The edge on both sides is slightly rounded. Edges are not squared off. The flat part is about 5/16 th thick. Very narrow.

The top is slightly squared. These chopsticks are wonderful. I use them everyday. Highly recommended!

The small picture with the knife on a 45 degree angle is pretty accurate, but when you click on it and get the zoomed-in image of the horizontal knife - that one does have a taller grind than mine, definitely - just an odd photo I think.

This isn't round. It is rectangular. At least mine was, and its a solid piece.

On the bottom of the slicer between the blade and the handle there is a square block 3-1/8"long (8cm) that sits on the same angle as the blade. You rotate it by 1/4 turns it has the numbers 0.5, 1.3, 2.0 and 3.0 which are the thicknesses. I don't know how accurate hey are I just pick the one I want.Martin

The body is slightly over 4" wide and the cutting surface is 3.5" wide. Anything wider than 3.5" may need to be cut or rotated to slice. I love it, but be very careful!! I had band-aids all over my hands until I got used to it. The holder that comes with it isn't the most practical. I never use it and am especially careful when cutting.

This type of blade is a straight-back blade. It only has one sharp side and it is double-edged.
