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.

This Oliva Elite starter set holds the three knives a new kitchen relies on, a chef’s knife for the board, a utility knife for the jobs in between and a parer for work in the hand.

Additional Oliva Elite pieces can be added one at a time as a cook’s needs grow.
