Meet Our New Starter Knife Set

Preparation

Sure, we’re known for obsessing over the quality of our Hybrid pots and pans, but we’re equally serious about crafting high-quality knives.

After all, a good knife is the backbone of your mise en place and the trusty sidekick that makes slicing and dicing effortless. Whether you’re looking to upgrade your knife skills to Gordon Ramsay–level or simply want reliable tools to make weeknight dinners easier, our new Damascus Steel Starter Knife Set delivers the goods. With two versatile blades, it’s perfect for beginners, a must for sandwich lovers and a smart pick for cooks with smaller hands. Ready to see why this dynamic duo belongs in your kitchen? Let’s dive in.

5-Inch Sandwich Knife

Meet the 5-Inch Sandwich Knife, the tool you didn’t know your kitchen was missing. Designed with versatility in mind, it’s the ultimate jack-of-all-trades for sandwich and bagel prep, combining the precision of a bread knife, ease of a spreader and practicality of a utility knife. Whether you’re halving delicate leftover croissants to griddle for an epic breakfast sandwich, slicing through a crusty Pullman loaf or cutting the final masterpiece—like a stacked hoagie or perfectly crispy fried fish sandwich—this knife handles tough crusts and delicate fillings with equal finesse. Thanks to its unique scalloped serrations, it glides smoothly, keeping your sandwich intact and your fillings where they belong.

The curved tip, meanwhile, takes inspiration from a classic sandwich spreader, making it perfect for swoops, swipes and even scoops of your favorite schmears. Say goodbye to patchy spreads of pesto, peanut butter or cream cheese: You'll get flawless, edge-to-edge coverage every time.

But this knife’s talents extend well beyond sandwiches. It’s a utility knife in disguise, slicing smaller fruits and vegetables with ease. It tackles delicate tomatoes like a pro, neatly piercing the tender skin without mashing the juicy interior. (From there, you can transition effortlessly to slicing mozzarella, creating clean, even slices that are perfect for a caprese salad.)

The scalloped serrations deliver both control and precision, so there’s no struggle to cut through crusty breads or juicy fillings. Whether you’re tackling a towering chicken Parm sandwich or assembling the ultimate grilled cheese, this knife is built to handle it all with ease—and keep every bite as flawless as your prep.

6-Inch Chef’s Knife

Great things come in small packages, they say, and this knife is a prime example. Designed for precision and ease, our 6-Inch Chef’s Knife delivers the versatility of a traditional chef’s knife in a smaller, more approachable size. Ideal for slicing, dicing and chopping, it effortlessly handles small- to medium-sized fruits and vegetables.

 Need to prep cucumbers, bell peppers or strawberries? This knife has you covered. Cubing cheese for your charcuterie board? Perfect. Halving Brussels sprouts or thinly slicing radishes for a salad? No problem. Its compact design offers exceptional control, making detailed tasks like mincing garlic or julienning carrots a breeze.

One of this knife’s standout features is its lightweight construction. Traditional eight- or ten-inch chef’s knives can feel unwieldy during long prep sessions, but the six-inch Petite Chef’s Knife reduces hand fatigue, keeping cooking enjoyable from start to finish. Whether you’re chopping onions for a Sunday Sauce, slicing steak and veg for griddled fajitas or dicing broccoli, shallots and pecans for a standout salad, its ergonomic size and precise blade ensure every cut feels effortless.

In short, don’t let their smaller stature fool you—these knives deliver big-time performance. Equally suited for weeknight dinners and special occasion feasts, this Starter Knife Set proves that, sometimes, less really is more.
