Knife Sets
Choosing a knife set is easiest when you focus on the knives you will actually use. Many boxed sets are built around a target price or piece count, which may include extra knives or accessories that don't fit your cooking style. At Knife Merchant, we prefer practical sets that give you the core tools you need while still offering the savings that comes from buying multiple knives together.
If you do not see the exact set you want, we can help you build one. Call or email us and we will be happy to build a custom knife set based on your budget, preferred brand, and the types of prep work you do most often.
If you are specifically looking for a set with countertop storage, browse our selection of Knife Block Sets.

Kikuichi Carbon Elite 3-Piece Professional Starter Set
Master the Edge: The Kikuichi Carbon Elite Professional Trio For the culinary professional or the dedicated home enthusiast, the transition to high-carbon steel is a rite of passage. The Kikuichi Carbon Elite 3-Piece Starter Set is not just a collection of tools; it is a precision-engineered system designed to elevate your knife skills to the elite level. At the heart of this set is the Kikuichi Carbon Elite 8.25-inch (210mm) Gyuto, a multi-purpose workhorse hand-forged in Japan. Unlike standard stainless steel, the SK-4 Carbon Steel used here is prized for its ability to take a razor-sharp edge and maintain it through heavy service. This set solves the primary challenge of carbon steel ownership: maintenance. By pairing the Gyuto with the world-renowned F. Dick EuroCut 12-inch Honing Steel, we ensure you have the exact tool needed to realign the edge without stripping away precious metal. This isn't just about cutting; it’s about the tactile feedback of a blade that moves through protein and produce with zero resistance. Whether you are breaking down a sub-primal or executing a precise julienne, the Kikuichi Carbon Elite provides a level of control and edge retention that mass-produced knives simply cannot match. Completed with our heavy-duty 8-slot knife bag, this kit provides the foundation for a lifetime of culinary excellence, allowing you to transport and protect your investment with professional-grade security.
