I visited my aunt, eager to cook a nice dinner. However, I was shocked to find her drawer full of dull, mismatched knives. I felt so bad that I ordered her the same ones I had at home, but not just because they were on sale.
This set of eight knives made a massive difference for me in the kitchen, and I believe everyone should have the luxury of easy cooking. They stay sharp and cut with far more precision than your average knife.
Here’s a breakdown of the knives that are great for:
- 8″ Chef’s Knife: A versatile all-rounder, ideal for chopping and slicing
- 8″ Slicing Knife: Longer and more flexible, it works best on your fruits and cheeses
- 8″ Bread Knife: Serrated slices through without damaging the tender inside
- 7″ Cleaver: Used for cutting through bones and tough meat. Pro tip: you can also crush garlic.
- 7″ Santoku Knife: A thinner blade and the edge prevents vegetables from sticking
- 5″ Santoku Knife: your everyday fruit and veggie knife
- 6″ Boning Knife: Curved blade for clean cuts
- 3.5″ Paring Knife: Cuts and peels with ease. Great for making garnishes.
What makes these knives so much more effective? The 15° edge angle of the Seido™ Japanese knife gives a sharper cutting face than most Western-style knives. Combined with their forged construction and sloped handle, they are easy to control, whether deboning a chicken or chopping celery. At the very least, they make my kitchen grunt work a breeze.
Don’t settle for dull knives in your life. The Seido™ Japanese Master Chef’s 8-piece knife set sells today for just $109.97 (reg. $429) until 1/12.
