You only really need three kitchen knives — a standard chef's blade, a serrated knife, and a proper paring knife. This minimal set by Material Kitchen includes their take on all of the above: a balanced 8" chef's blade for most daily cutting tasks, a 6" serrated blade for slicing bread and ripe fruit, and an almost 4" paring knife for detail work that requires some finesse. With a three-layer, Japanese steel construction, a perfect sense of balance, and grippy composite handles, there's little these blades can't handle. You'll probably use all three every day for the foreseeable future.
Includes The 8" Knife, The Serrated 6" Knife, and The Almost 4" Knife
