Short answer
Blender and Chef Knife are closer in overall scale than most people expect, so the comparison is really about proportions rather than a dramatic size jump. Blender is 1.21x taller than Chef Knife. Laid end to end, it takes about 1 chef knife to match one blender.
Blender is a countertop blender with a wide motor base and a clear pitcher on top. Chef Knife is an intact chef knife with a single continuous broad steel blade, pointed tip, and dark full-size handle with three rivets, with no broken or separated parts. Put together, laid end to end, it takes about 1 chef knife to match one blender.

What people usually misjudge
People usually over-focus on height
Height is the first thing your eye notices here, but height alone does not explain the whole comparison. Blender and Chef Knife also separate through footprint, thickness, or diameter once you stop treating them like flat outlines.
Volume usually diverges faster than intuition
Even when the silhouettes feel manageable, total occupied space can separate quickly. A rough volume estimate puts one blender at about 48 chef knifes, which is why the bigger object can feel more dominant than a single dimension suggests.
Key insight
Treat this as a shape swap, not a huge scale jump. What makes this pairing useful is that both objects come from the same general world, so the contrast feels intuitive rather than exotic. The gap shows up most clearly in height, so the pairing feels vertical before it feels mathematical.
