8" Chef knife and 7" Santoku: Our most popular kitchen knives. These knives are sharp enough to slice through tough meat and easy enough to chop through vegetables.
8" Serrated (Bread) Knife: Effortlessly slices through bread. It allows you to saw through a tough crust without mangling or compressing the tender crumb within.
8" Slicing Knife: The blade is more flexible and longer than a regular carving knife. Slicing knives are perfect to delicately cut thinner slices of roast, fruits and vegetables.
7" Nakiri knife: Largely used as a vegetable for chopping or a butcher knife intended for hacking through bone. The knife's broad side can also be used for crushing, in food preparation (such as garlic).
6" Boning (Fillet) knife: The special curved blade of the knife allows you to cut meat away from bones and joints from meat and fish, and its flexibility allows for thin, precise cuts.
5" Santoku knife: A smaller Seido knife to easily chop through vegetables. Crafted with a hammer forged finish to prevent food from sticking to the blade as you cut.
3.5" Paring Knife: This is a straight-edge multi-function knife that has many uses. Due to its size, the paring knife is an excellent tool for any food that requires attention to detail. Ideal for peeling and paring ingredients.
