A Complete Chef Knife Set You Can Roll Up and Take Anywhere

Sound familiar?

The everyday knife problems this set solves

One dull knife for everything

Tomatoes squash, bread tears and herbs get bruised when one blunt knife has to do every job.

A block that eats your worktop

Knife blocks take up a lot of counter space in a small kitchen.

Knives loose in a drawer

Blades rattle against each other, lose their edge and are a danger to fingers.

Cooking away from home

Rental kitchens and barbecues rarely have a decent knife.

The eight knives of the set laid out on white

What is in the set

Eight knives, one for every job

The set covers everyday cooking from start to finish: a chef knife, a slicing knife, a bread knife, two santoku knives, a nakiri, a boning knife and a paring knife.

They come with a roll-up knife bag, so the set is easy to keep tidy and to take with you.

Roll-up knife bag

Safe storage without a block

The roll-up bag is a handy alternative to a knife block, which can take up too much counter space. Every knife has its own slot, so the blades do not knock against each other.

The bag is strong enough to carry a whole collection of knives. Roll it up and put it somewhere safe in your kitchen, or take it with you.

  • Water-resistant and heavy-duty material.
  • Portable, secure and convenient: roll it up and go.
  • Holds up to 19 knives and tools, with pockets for extra tools and cutlery.

Sharp from the first cut

A 15° edge for clean, precise cuts

Most Western-style knives have an edge angle of about 25°. These Japanese-style knives have a more acute 15° angle, for a noticeably sharper cutting face.

The blades are made from 7Cr17 high-carbon stainless steel with a hardness of HRC 58 or more: a good balance between holding a sharp edge and being tough and corrosion resistant.

  • 15° blade angle: sharper than a typical Western knife.
  • 7Cr17 high-carbon stainless steel: strong, durable and corrosion resistant.
  • Damascus-pattern etched blades: a striking look on every knife.

Comfort and control

Balanced in the hand

Each knife is full-tang, with a sloped bolster that runs gradually onto the blade face for better comfort, control and handle balance.

The ergonomic pakka wood handles are strong and stable and do not warp or absorb water. The double-bevel blades suit right- and left-handed cooks alike.

Explore each knife

Eight knives and what they do

Chef knife on a board with chillies and cucumber

20 cm (8 in) chef knife (gyuto)

The classic all-rounder for every day. Strong and sharp enough for tough meat, easy enough for chopping vegetables.

Slicing knife next to sliced cucumber

20 cm (8 in) slicing knife

Longer and more flexible than a regular carving knife, for thin slices of roast, fruit and vegetables.

Serrated bread knife next to a crusty loaf

20 cm (8 in) serrated bread knife

The serrated edge grips crusty bread and saws through it without squashing the soft crumb.

Santoku knife with dimpled blade next to a spring onion

18 cm (7 in) santoku knife

The most-used multi-purpose knife. The dimpled (granton) edge helps stop food sticking, and the thin blade makes fine cuts.

Wide nakiri knife next to sliced bacon

18 cm (7 in) nakiri knife

Nakiri means leaf cutter in Japanese: for mincing, chopping, dicing and slicing vegetables. The broad side is handy for crushing garlic.

Small santoku knife with lemon slices and bread

13 cm (5 in) santoku knife

A smaller, practical version of the large santoku, for quick chopping of fruit and vegetables.

Boning knife next to a spring onion

15 cm (6 in) boning knife

The curved, flexible blade cuts meat and fish away from bones and joints, with thin, precise cuts.

Paring knife on a board with tomatoes and blueberries

9 cm (3.5 in) paring knife

A straight-edged small knife for detailed work where control matters: peeling, trimming and decorating.

Care

How to look after your knives

1. Wash by hand

Rinse and wash the blades by hand and dry them straight away.

2. Store them safely

Put each knife back in its slot in the roll-up bag, so the edges stay protected.

3. Keep the edge keen

When cutting starts to feel harder, sharpen or hone the blade at the same 15° angle.

Eight knives (20 cm chef knife, 20 cm slicing knife, 20 cm serrated bread knife, 18 cm santoku, 18 cm nakiri, 13 cm santoku, 15 cm boning knife and 9 cm paring knife), and a roll-up knife bag.

The roll-up bag holds up to 19 knives and tools, so there is room for more as your collection grows.

What steel are the blades made of?

Is a knife block included?

No. This set comes with the roll-up bag instead, which saves counter space and can travel with you.
