Typically a set of kitchen knives in a wooden box is given as a gift. It’s a great idea and our 12 knife Kitchen Classics set has been a resounding success. The only drawback to the big box set is portability, especially if there are only a couple of knives in the set that are used on a daily basis.

Our K-5 and K-7 Kitchen Knives eloquently solve this dilemma. The Hocho style blades are approximately 1 1/2” wide and 1.5mm thick. They are skillfully flat ground from top to bottom and then honed to a very thin, astonishingly sharp edge, combine that with the continuous curve on the blade and wide thin cross section and you’ve got a blade that’s unparalleled for cutting and shearing power. Now you can slice tomatoes wafer thin and cut through vegetables and meat with virtually no resistance.

The knives are available with either a serrated edge or our new plain edge style. If you already own a Cold Steel Knife you know that we pride ourselves on having the sharpest knives in the business, and our exclusive serration pattern outperforms the competition by a wide margin, providing smooth long lasting cutting power.

For maximum control we’ve made the handles out of heavily contoured and deeply checkered the Kraton®. And for ease of transportation and safety while not in service each K-5 and K-7 is supplied with a protective polypropylene sleeve.
