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.

Masahiro MV 3-Piece Starter Set
Professional Performance Meets Japanese Precision The Masahiro MV 3-Piece Starter Set (MH-Set) represents the pinnacle of Japanese functional design. While many manufacturers rely on standard VG-10, Masahiro utilizes their proprietary MBS-26 Molybdenum Vanadium stainless steel. This alloy is specifically treated to reach a 58-60 Rockwell hardness, providing a biting edge that stands up to the rigors of a high-volume professional line while remaining easy to maintain for the dedicated home cook. This set is carefully curated to eliminate kitchen redundancy, featuring the three most critical profiles for any culinary task. The 8.25-inch Gyuto (Chef's Knife) serves as your primary workhorse, balanced for heavy prep and fine dicing. The 9.5-inch Sujihiki (Slicer) provides the length necessary for clean, single-stroke protein portioning, preventing the tearing common with shorter blades. Finally, the 4.75-inch Utility knife handles the detail work, from peeling to intricate garnishes. What truly sets the MV series apart is the asymmetrical 80/20 grind. Unlike traditional 50/50 bevels, this compound grind allows the blade to glide through dense vegetables with significantly less resistance, while the steeper side provides an 'air-pocket' effect for superior food release. Whether you are breaking down 40 lbs of mirepoix or precisely slicing raw proteins, these knives offer a level of control that standard Western cutlery cannot match. The black dyed pressed wood handles are reinforced with polycarbonate, ensuring industrial-grade durability and a sanitary grip that resists moisture and heat. The Masahiro MV 3 Piece Starter Set includes the three most popular and useful knives in the Masahiro MV series. This set includes: 9 1/2 in. (240mm) Slicer (MH13717) 8 1/4 in. (210mm) Chef's Knife (MH13711) 4 3/4 in. (120mm) Utility Knife (MH13702) Learn More -

Miyabi Birchwood SG2 2 Piece Chef's & Paring Knife Set
The Miyabi Birchwood SG2 (5000MCD) series represents the pinnacle of Japanese blade-smithing. This 2-piece set provides the two most essential tools for any kitchen: the workhorse 8-inch Gyutoh (Chef's Knife) for effortless slicing and dicing, and the 3.5-inch Paring Knife for intricate detail work. At the heart of each blade is a core of SG2 micro-carbide powder steel, protected by 100 layers of two different steels, creating a stunning "Flower Damascus" pattern. Hand-honed in Seki, Japan, using the traditional 3-step Honbazuke process, these blades feature a scalpel-like 9.5° to 12° edge. Key Features: Exotic Karelian Birch Handles: Each knife is finished with a traditional D-shaped handle made from Karelian (Masur) Birch—a rare wood so prized for its unique rippling grain that it was the only wood ever used in a Fabergé egg. The result is a set that is as much a gallery piece as it is a high-performance culinary instrument. SG2 Micro-Carbide Core: One of the world’s hardest steels (63 Rockwell), ensuring an edge that stays sharp significantly longer than standard stainless steel. 101-Layer Flower Damascus: A breathtaking aesthetic that also provides exceptional durability and prevents food from sticking to the blade. CRYODUR® Ice-Hardened: The blades undergo a signature -196°C ice-hardening process to maximize corrosion resistance and edge retention. Traditional D-Shape Handle: Ergonomically designed to reduce hand fatigue during long prep sessions, accented with a mosaic pin and decorative end cap. Handcrafted in Seki, Japan: Produced by master artisans in the historic capital of Japanese sword-making. Learn More -
Miyabi Black 2-Piece Knife Set - 8" Chef's & 3.5" Paring
The Absolute Limit of Japanese Metallurgy Harness the relentless edge retention of ZDP-189 micro-carbide steel, forged into a 132-layer Damascus masterpiece for professionals who refuse to sharpen mid-service. The Miyabi Black series is not merely cutlery; it is a clinical instrument designed for the high-volume environment where edge failure is not an option. By utilizing ZDP-189 powder steel, Miyabi has achieved a staggering 67 Rockwell hardness—a benchmark that allows this set to maintain a scalpel-like 9.5 to 12-degree edge through marathon prep sessions involving dense root vegetables or heavy protein breakdown. This two-piece essential set pairs the versatile 8" Chef's Knife with the 3.5" Paring Knife, covering 90% of professional kitchen tasks. The 'Flower Damascus' cladding is more than a visual statement; it provides the structural stability required to support the ultra-hard core during lateral stress. The handle, crafted from rare Bigleaf Maple Burl Wood, is designed in the traditional D-shape. This provides a tactile indexing point that prevents the knife from rolling in the hand during wet work, significantly reducing hand fatigue during grueling shifts. For the fine-dining saucier or the high-volume prep lead, this set offers a level of feedback and transparency through the cutting board that standard German steels cannot replicate. Learn More
