Victorinox also sells other knives as well, depending on what you are looking for.
In my experience the block knife sets aren't worth it. I really only use a couple of the knives (chef's, paring) and the rest are a waste.

We did look at just getting individual knives, and just the ones I actually use. But the Chicago set had a 5 " Santoku (which I've always wanted), and a fruit/utility knife (in my house it's known as a tomato knife), that I desperately need a replacement for. Prices for them separately, plus the others that I actually use would run me double the price of the set.
