Knife Sets

A knife set is the simplest way to equip a kitchen properly, and one of the best gifts you can give someone who loves to cook. Rather than choosing knives one by one, a set brings together a considered combination of blades that work together, usually the everyday essentials a kitchen relies on most, often presented in a gift box, a block, or with a bag or board. Our range covers everything from a compact two-piece pairing to a complete block set, as well as steak knife sets and carving sets, all Japanese made from brands including KAI, MAC, Miyabi, Kasumi and Tamahagane.

The right set depends on who it is for and how complete they want their kitchen to be. A small set of two or three core knives covers the essentials and is ideal as a first serious set or a gift, while a block or board set aims to equip a kitchen in one go. Beyond the everyday knives, we also stock specialist sets: steak knife sets for the table, and carving sets for the Sunday roast. Whatever the occasion, a boxed Japanese knife set makes a genuinely special gift, and a practical one that will be used for years.
