A premium set of kitchen knives is one secret ingredient to a solid kitchen. Whether you’re a master of the culinary arts or just want to evenly dice an onion, quality cutlery is a worthwhile investment.
If you’re looking to upgrade, you’ve got two options with these Japanese knives from Seido. Both the five and eight-piece sets of these chef’s knives are on sale (for $99.99 and $139.99, respectively). But wait until you see what makes these blades a cut above the rest.
Elegant and durable kitchen knives
Using a sharp knife isn’t just safer, it can also make cooking more fun. Instead of hacking through meat or tearing through soft vegetables, glide through food with blades sharpened to a 15-degree angle. Each knife is forged in carbon steel to retain its edge longer, but you’ll still need to sharpen them on occasion to keep them in tip-top shape.
The five-piece set of knives comes with an 8-inch classic chef’s knife and a 7-inch santoku knife. Both are excellent all-purpose tools for slicing and chopping. If you need to process large cuts of meat, take out the 7-inch cleaver. A 5-inch santoku knife is included for finer vegetable chopping or dicing, and you can use the 3.5-inch paring knife to do your most precise work.
The eight-piece set comes with the same five knives, with three more useful additions for any kitchen. The 6-inch boning knife will come in handy when you’re prepping fish or meat. Pull out the 8-inch bread knife when it’s time for a sandwich. And with the 8-inch slicing knife, you can enjoy nice, thin slices from roasts, turkey and vegetables.
Both knife sets also come with gift boxes, which double as storage when you’re not cooking up something delicious.
Sharp knives for the best cooking experience
Both Seido knife sets earned 4.5 out of 5 stars. One verified customer raved about them: “Very pleased with this set and surprised by how sharp these knives were. These knives are balanced. For the price, this was an excellent deal for decent Japanese knives.”
Upgrade the way you slice with a five-piece set ($99.99) or eight-piece set ($139.99) of the Seido Japanese Master Chef’s Knives.
