Every Knife Your Kitchen Needs, in One Set

Most kitchens get by with one dull knife that does everything badly. This 10-piece set gives you eight Japanese-style knives, each made for its own job, a stainless steel block to keep them together on the worktop and a 3-in-1 sharpener to keep the edges keen. From crusty bread to fish fillets, you always have the right blade at hand.

Sound familiar?

Why cooking with the wrong knife is no fun

Tomatoes that squash

A blunt or thick blade pushes soft food flat instead of slicing through it.

Bread that tears

Without a serrated edge, a crusty loaf crumbles and the soft inside gets crushed.

Sore hands

A badly balanced knife makes you press harder, and long prep sessions get tiring.

Food that sticks

Slices of potato and cucumber cling to a flat blade and slow you down.

The eight knives of the set lined up from paring knife to chef knife

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.

The knives sit in a universal stainless steel block on the worktop, and the 3-in-1 sharpener keeps the edges in shape.

All the knives of the set on a board with fresh vegetables

Sharp from the first cut

A 15° edge for clean, precise cuts

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

The blades are made from 7Cr17 high-carbon stainless steel with a hardness of HRC 58: 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.
  • HRC 58 hardness: holds its edge.
  • 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. That gives you better comfort, control and handle balance, so long prep sessions are less tiring.

The pakka wood handles are ergonomic, strong and stable, and they do not warp or absorb water. The blades are double bevel (50/50), so they 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.

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.

Storage

A neat home on the worktop

The universal stainless steel block holds the knives upright and close at hand, keeps the blades protected and looks smart in any kitchen.

Sharpening a knife in the 3-in-1 sharpener

Keep them sharp

3-in-1 tungsten steel sharpener included

The sharpener has three slots for sharpening and fine honing. Hold it by the ergonomic rubber-grip handle, pull the blade through a few times and the edge is back.

A non-slip rubber base keeps it steady on the worktop while you sharpen.

Care

How to look after your knives

1. Wash by hand

Rinse and wash the blades by hand with a little soap and dry them straight away.

2. Store them safely

Put the knives back in the block after use, so the edges stay protected.

3. Sharpen now and then

When cutting starts to feel harder, pull the blade through the 3-in-1 sharpener a few times.
