KAI Knife Sets
Knife sets are a tricky subject. When asked how many knives you absolutely need, you will most likely get many different answers. Which knives you actually need to include in your collection depends on what you want to cut. Therefore, there is no general answer. But there is a basic assortment of knives that you really should own. And you will find exactly these knives in the KAI knife sets.
The Perfect Starter Knife Set
Reflect on which knives you use frequently. In our opinion, you first need a large, a medium, and a small knife. The chef's knife, or Santoku knife with a blade length of around 20 cm, can be used for almost all cutting tasks. A utility knife with a blade length of around 15 cm for more delicate tasks where you need more control over the blade. And the small paring, utility, or office knife is perfect for peeling and cleaning, for example, vegetables and all the other cutting tasks that don't work well with long blades.
The different KAI knife sets
KAI offers you knife sets in different series:
The Wasabi Black knife set always includes a utility knife with 10 & and 15 cm blade length. Additionally, as a third knife, you have the choice between the chef's knife with a 20 cm blade length or a Santoku knife with a 16.5 cm blade length.
The KAI Shun knife set is available in five versions. The small set includes an office knife with a 9 cm blade and a utility knife with a 15 cm blade length.
The large sets offer you the utility knife with a 15 cm blade length. Additionally, there is either the chef's knife with a 20 cm or the Santoku knife with an 18 cm blade length. These sets are referred to as the KAI chef's knife sets.
The three-piece knife sets are based on the small knife set with an office knife with a 9 cm blade and a utility knife with a 15 cm blade length. In the expansion, you again have the choice between the chef's knife with a 20 cm or the Santoku knife with an 18 cm blade length. Additionally, both series offer a KAI steak knife set and carving cutlery sets.
There is nothing against 8-piece knife sets if you really need the knives. Sometimes less is more, however. With the KAI knife sets, you are already quite well equipped.
