Kaen sets

Each set is designed so the knives complement each other, not repeat. All include sheaths; shipping is free over €150.

A Damascus steel knife set makes sense when each piece does a different job; that’s why Kaen sets don’t repeat shapes. The Essential Set (20 cm Gyuto + 9 cm Petty) covers 90% of any recipe with one big knife and one small. The Complete Set adds the 18 cm Nakiri for vegetables and is the one we recommend to almost everyone: three knives, the whole kitchen, €69.90 less than separately. The Master Collection adds the Santoku, the Bunka and the Kiritsuke for people who cook a lot or want to give a memorable gift.
