This 7-piece set covers the everyday work of a home kitchen with three core knives — a 6.5" chef's knife, a 10" serrated knife, and a 3.5" paring knife — built from Japanese AUS-10 and AUS-8 steel. The higher carbon content in AUS-10 means the edge holds up longer between sharpenings, which matters most on the knife you reach for daily, whether that's mincing garlic or breaking down a chicken. The sloped bolster gives your fingers a natural pinch grip, so long prep sessions feel less fatiguing on the hand.
Rounding out the set are four serrated steak knives in German steel, finished with wave-style serrations that slice cleanly through meat without tearing the fibers. If you find yourself wanting a larger set for entertaining, the 8-piece serrated steak knives make a good addition to the table. For anyone who wants a dedicated backup for delicate work like cutting fruit or citrus, the 5" serrated knife pairs nicely alongside this set.
Care is simple: hand wash, dry immediately, and plan on sharpening every 4 to 6 months to keep the edge performing as intended. If your chef's knife ever needs a spare while it's away for sharpening, the standalone 6.5" chef's knife is worth keeping in rotation, and every piece here carries Misen's lifetime warranty against defects.
