Best knives I have ever owned by far

Best knives I have ever owned by far. Very nice balance, first thought was they aren’t as heavy as I thought they would be, but after using I appreciate the slightly lighter weight. Gives amazing control with a razor sharp edge and a very nice feel. I’ve recommended these to several of my “cooking” friends already. 11 out of 10. Bonus for the beautiful look as well.

The items came in a very timely manner

The items came in a very timely manner. They have been used in many types of cooking from all over the world. I am 75 years old navy submarine sailor and have been in many countries. My wife did the majority of the cooking for the family, but I had to cook all exotic dished and sea food. Seven years ago, my wife passed away and I was left with all of the cooking. I have elevated our meals and am always looking for some thing new. I needed good tools to do that which was easy to do except for knives. I have several sets of knives in storage that the not been up to the standards that I was looking for. Until the Seido knife set I have never been so happy in the kitchen until now. Thank you very much for such a great knife set and I can not fore see ever replacing it. VAM

I purchased a Kiritsuki knife for my wife and discovered something far better than the “Two Guy” knives we already owned.
After a few months my wife said she wanted another Seido knife, so I bought her an 8 piece set and she couldn’t be more tickled.
She gushes about her new Seido knives every time she uses them.
I understand why. They are gorgeous Damascus and razor sharp! And I love that I don’t have to keep sharpening them, as they keep their edges very well.
I recommend these knives to everyone!

Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful story! We’re thrilled to hear that the Kiritsuki knife made such a great impression and that it led to adding the 8-piece set to your kitchen as well.

It’s fantastic that your wife enjoys using them and appreciates the Damascus design, razor-sharp performance, and long-lasting edge retention. Hearing that you recommend Seido knives to others truly means a lot to us.

They have good knives and terrible items

They have good knives and some other items. I ordered 2 of the bamboo mag blocks. The gift one came split and very low magnetic ability - can't hold their steak knives or any smaller knife. I'd say a split base is defective. They don't, no refund or help after I offered to return it for review. Great knives...maybe. Don't trust them.

Many items from them and this was a terrible experience.

Reply from Seido Knives

To clarify for transparency, although this concern was reported beyond our standard 30-day window, we still offered a replacement for the affected bamboo magnetic block as a courtesy. Since you requested a refund, we already issued a credit back to the original mode of payment for one of the Bamboo Knife Blocks without requiring it to be returned, in order to resolve things quickly and fairly.

A split base is not the quality we aim to deliver, and while bamboo is a natural material that can occasionally react to environmental conditions, we take these cases seriously.

We truly appreciate that you’ve purchased many items from us, and we’re sorry this situation impacted your overall impression. Our goal has been — and continues to be — to provide a reasonable solution even outside standard policy timeframes.

An Unexpected Upgrade in Every Way!

I searched relentlessly for the most elegant, robust, and visually striking steak knife set I could find. When I discovered Seido Knives, I was immediately impressed. When they arrived, they exceeded every expectation. The Damascus pattern paired with the polished blades is a true showstopper for the guests I entertain with my gourmet steaks.

The first cut was effortless and flawless. In that moment, I realized I had elevated my knife setup beyond what I thought was possible. I quickly followed up by ordering the 8 inch chef knife and slicer. Somehow, the handles are even more impressive than the blades. They feel incredible in hand, perfectly balanced, and crafted with remarkable attention to detail.

I am now replacing my entire premium knife collection with Seido because the balance, feel, and craftsmanship are simply unmatched. For the price, I would confidently put these up against knives that cost two to three times as much.

Take my advice. Buy the full set from the start. You will not be disappointed.

It’s wonderful to know that the Damascus patterns, polished blades, and ergonomic handles are making such an impression — both in performance and presentation. Knowing that you’re replacing your premium knife collection with Seido is an amazing compliment to our craftsmanship and design.

Your advice to others to invest in the full set is spot on, and we couldn’t be happier that you’re enjoying every aspect of your knives.

The knife arrived super dull and dirty

The knife arrived super dull and dirty. I got canned answers from an ai customer service. They told me to sharpen it with a whetstone. Do not purchase from this company.

Reply from Seido Knives

We’re sorry to hear about your experience and understand how it could be concerning at first glance.

All of our knives are brand new and unused when shipped — we do not sell anything that has been used or returned. The appearance you described is likely related to the factory edge finish, which can sometimes include very fine residue or markings from the manufacturing and sharpening process. This is normal and does not affect the performance of the knife. In fact, this edge is intentionally designed to be sharp and safe for initial use, and many chefs perform a quick touch-up on a whetstone to achieve the level of sharpness they personally prefer.

We stand behind the quality of every knife we ship, and this isn’t an indication that the product is dirty or previously used. If you’re seeing any irregularities beyond the typical factory edge, our support team is happy to review photos and guide you on proper initial care.

Many knock off knives on the market but this company has the real deals. My knife was just as advertised. The quality and craftsmanship was top notch and the feel and balance is all there. The handle fits your hand perfectly and it’s balanced. The blade is sharp and strong. I’ll be purchasing all my knives from Seido in the future.

Forever knives— Valentines gift

Bought this Seido eight-piece Japanese Master Knife Set on a massive sale and turned out to be the best Valentine’s move ever. My girlfriend unboxed it and, wow, was instantly blown away by the Damascus pattern on every blade, like actual art. The handles? Super solid, comfy grip, no slip. Feels pro-grade. They look sharp, feel even better, and honestly cut through everything like butter. This has quickly become the only knife set she’ll ever need. For life. Five stars, no question.

Even though i didn't need a 10 pc set

Even though i didn't need a 10 pc set , i got this set for their stunning looks in this handle color and blade pattern. First thing i noticed was how comfortable the knives felt in my hand. Well balanced and easy to use. I have used the chefs knife and the vegetable knife so far and they were so easy to cut with. I made spahgetti squash with pan seared chicken. If you've ever cut a spahgetti squash then you know how nice it is to have a sharp knife for the task. Can't wait to use the slicing & filleting knives.
