INCLUDED IN THE 5-PIECE SET

8" Chef’s Knife

Slice, dice, and mince. It’s the first knife any cook should own. Offers a razor-sharp edge and a large blade with plenty of cutting length so you can handle even larger foods with ease. The belly curve makes it simple to do rocking cuts for processing herbs and smaller foods quickly.

7" Santoku Knife

Santoku offers an Asian-style blade that works well for any job for which you’d normally choose a chef’s knife. Yet the santoku’s shorter length and blade design make it highly maneuverable. Many cooks find they prefer it to a chef’s knife for many kitchen tasks. It’s perfect for slicing, dicing, mincing, and more if you prefer a smaller, agile knife.

8.5" Chef’s Knife

There’s really no substitute for a good bread knife. Made to be a light and easy-to-use tool in the kitchen. Whether your bread is thick and crusty or delicately tender, this knife is built to slice through easily with minimal tearing and crumbling. The bread knife’s wide serrations are a key part in providing gentle cuts on your bread without sacrificing slicing power. Even better, the serrations are angled, front and back, to ensure an effective slice on both the push and pull of your cut. Also works beautifully on bagels, pastries, and even pineapples.

6" Utility Knife

For kitchen tasks that are too big for a paring knife and too small for a chef’s knife, reach for the utility knife. A utility knife is handy for larger peeling jobs or when precision trimming is required, such as when you’re cutting broccoli florets for stir-fry or removing the tough stems from kale. Because the blade is smaller and lighter, it’s easy to work with it in tighter places where larger knives wouldn’t offer the right amount of precision and control.

3.5" Pairing Knife

A paring knife is essential for every kitchen. In fact, they’re so handy that many cooks like to own more than one. The perfect knife for peeling, coring, and other detail work. With a slightly wider blade than some other paring knives, the Kai Inspire Paring Knife is great for working on a cutting board, too. Mince garlic or small herbs quickly and easily as you enjoy this little knife’s sharp performance.
