5-Piece Knife Set - Pin Series (X020)
Reach for this set when you're stocking a first proper kitchen, replacing the cheap block set that's been holding you back, or putting together a gift that will actually get used. Five knives, no filler. Every size is one you'll reach for on a weeknight without thinking about it.
What's in the Set
- 8" Chef Knife: Your daily driver. Rock-chop a pile of onions for a ragu, butterfly a chicken thigh, or work through a butternut without the blade tipping forward on you.
- 7" Santoku: The push-cut specialist. Flat profile is built for precise, full-contact cuts through zucchini, capsicum, radish, and anything else you want sliced without bruising.
- 8" Bread Knife: Serrated edge for crusty sourdough and soft sandwich loaves alike. Does the job the chef knife can't.
- 5" Utility Knife: The in-between blade. Halve cherry tomatoes, trim silverskin off a fillet, slice a small roma without reaching for the chef knife.
- 4" Paring Knife: In-hand work. Peel apples, segment citrus, trim the eyes out of strawberries - jobs where you hold the food and the knife at the same time.
One Steel Across All Five
Every blade in this set shares the same 10Cr15CoMoV high-carbon stainless core, wrapped in three layers of cladding and vacuum heat-treated to 60 HRC. That hardness is what earns the price tag: the edges take a keen polish and hold it through a full session of prep without needing a honing rod halfway through dinner. The 3-layer composite construction gives each blade enough rigidity to cut dense produce without chipping.
Olive Wood Handles, Full-Tang Build
All five handles are natural olive wood, riveted to full-tang steel cores. Olive wood is dense enough to resist moisture and tight-grained enough not to splinter with daily use. The same build quality goes into every knife in the set, whether it's the 8-inch chef or the 4-inch paring knife.
