Reviews From Our Customers
Although I was reluctant to spend this amount of money on a knife set for my husband's birthday, I am told daily how amazing the knives are. If you are buying for a gift for somebody who loves cooking and bbqing, do it. No regerts!Caro · Gabriel · Verified buyer
This is a brilliant knife, I reach for it more than any other. It's my second Cain and Abel knife and there's really nothing like them, they leave all my other knives in the dust.Jess Howie · Thomas · Verified buyer
I've had Adam for a couple of weeks and I'm delighted so far. Well balanced, good weight and performs better than any other knife I've had.Colin Spratt · Adam · Verified buyer
I gave this knife to my hubby for his birthday, he is over joyed with the quality, workmanship and sharpness. Highly recommended to anyone looking for a long lasting knife. Keep up the great work.Sue Jones-Nicholson · Ezekiel · Verified buyer
Amazing knife! A piece of art and great action. Extremely sharp and very versatile! One of my favorite knives!Jesse Slack · Ezekiel · Verified buyer
A whole kitchen in one box. Six carbon steel knives, a fitted leather sheath for five of them, and a mineral oil to keep the lot in good shape. Bought separately it's $1,180.
At $708 that's under $120 a knife, which is less than our cheapest knife costs on its own, and the leather and the oil are in there too. If you're going to own our knives, this is the way to do it.
Nothing in here repeats anything else. One big Santoku you rock through an onion, a Nakiri and a Bunka you push straight down through the board, a Petty and a Paring knife for the fiddly work, and a bread knife. Three different ways of cutting, so whatever's in front of you there's a knife for it.
Carbon steel is why they cut the way they do. You'll notice it the first time you go through a tomato without pressing down. It does react though, so dry them after washing. They'll darken over time into a patina, and that's the knife doing what it should.
Knives handcrafted in Vietnam. Mary is hand finished in China.

Steel Details
Made with high-carbon steel, heat-treated for a hard, sharp edge. Builds character over time and rewards simple care with a knife that keeps getting better.
Why These Knives Together?
Adam - 21cm Santoku
Adam's the big one & the one you'll use most nights. 21cm with a curved edge you can rock straight through an onion, and enough blade height that your knuckles clear the board.
Ezekiel - 17cm Bunka
Ezekiel’s flat like Gabriel but it’s got a point on it. That tip gets in around a bone, scores the skin on a piece of pork, and does the fiddly stuff a Nakiri can’t reach.

Gabriel - 18cm Nakiri
Gabriel’s edge is dead flat, so it goes straight down through a cabbage instead of rocking. Everything falls away in one piece rather than staying joined at the back. If you do a lot of veg this is the one that’ll surprise you.

Jonathan - 15cm Paring
Jonathan’s the thin one. Peeling, trimming the silver skin off a steak, anything where you want to see exactly what you’re doing. It’s longer than a paring knife so you get a bit more reach without losing the control.
Thomas - 13cm Tall Petty
Thomas does everything Adam's too big for. Garlic, herbs, trimming the fat off a steak. It's short but it's tall, so you can still work on a board instead of holding everything in your hand.
Mary - 25cm Bread Knife
Mary’s the only one here with teeth. Single bevel, so it parts a sourdough crust instead of squashing the loaf on the way through. 25cm, which gets you across a big tin loaf in one go.

Common Questions
What Is Carbon Steel?
It’s steel with more carbon in it and none of the chromium that makes stainless stainless. That’s what lets us get it properly sharp and keep it there. The trade off is that it reacts, so it’ll darken over time and build up a patina. That’s the knife doing what it’s meant to do.
Will they rust?
They will if you leave them wet. Rinse and dry them after you’ve used them and you’ll have no trouble. The oil in the box is for the times they’re going in a drawer for a while.
Why these six knives?
Because they don’t repeat each other. Adam is a 21cm santoku, so you can rock it and use its length. Gabriel and Ezekiel are flatter, so you push straight down through the board. Ezekiel’s tip gives you manoeuvrability in hard to reach places. Jonathan and Thomas handle the small stuff, one thin and one tall. Mary’s the only one with teeth. Three different ways of cutting and nothing doubled up.
How do I care for them?
Wash by hand, dry them straight away, never the dishwasher. If they’re going away for a while, a wipe of the mineral oil keeps them right. The patina that builds up is normal and it protects the blade.
Where are they made?
Five are handcrafted in Vietnam by the blacksmiths we’ve worked with since we started. Mary’s made in China. We tried to have her made in Vietnam, but they don’t have the machinery for the single bevel serrated edge a bread knife needs, so we found blacksmiths who’ve done this work for knife brands around the world.
What’s the difference between Gabriel and Ezekiel?
The tip. Gabriel’s a Nakiri with a blunt square end, built for straight cuts through veg. Ezekiel’s a Bunka with a sharp angled point, so it gets in around a bone or scores the skin on a piece of pork. Same flat edge, completely different jobs at the front of the blade.
Is six knives actually too many?
Most people use two or three of them most nights and the rest come out when they’re needed. If you’ve only ever owned one knife, the one that’ll surprise you is Gabriel. The first time you push cut a cabbage instead of rocking through it you’ll understand what the rest are for.
Is it cheaper than buying them separately?
Yes. The six knives, five sheaths and the mineral oil come to $1,180 bought one at a time. The Offering is $708 this week.
Why is there no sheath for Mary?
Mary’s serrated, and leather doesn’t sit right against a serrated edge. The other five each get one cut to fit that blade.
How Does Your 7 day Risk Free Trial Work?
Any knife you buy, you can try for 7 days. If it’s not for you, return it (in original condition and packaging) at your cost for a full refund. Online orders only. Read The conditions here
How does your 2 year warranty work?
Our 2-year warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship. It excludes rust or damage from neglect. Claims are inspected case-by-case, and replacements are issued if the product is genuinely faulty.
Is the mineral oil included?
It is, it's in the box. We sell it separately alongside the single knives, but most people buying this set are new to carbon steel & the oil is the single easiest thing you can do to look after it. Didn't feel right making you add it yourself.
Why does this offer end on the 17th when Black Friday is still going?
Because we’re running one set at a time. The Offering’s week is the 9th to the 17th. At 10am on the 17th it goes back to $1,180 and a different set takes its place at 40%. Black Friday keeps running, the offer just changes.
