Colorful 6-Piece Knife Set with Matching Blade Covers, Stainless Steel

This Sazon set is six stainless steel kitchen knives, each in its own color with a matching slip cover: an 8-inch chef knife, 8-inch carving knife, 8-inch bread knife, 7-inch santoku, 5-inch santoku and 3-inch paring knife. The covers protect the edges when the knives live in a drawer, and since each blade has its own color, you'll grab the right one fast.

Best for

A first kitchen, a shared apartment, or any cook who keeps knives in a drawer and wants the edges covered when they're not in use. Two santoku sizes give you a flat blade for push-cutting vegetables next to the rocking chef knife. Our Santoku vs Chef Knife guide explains when to reach for each.

Care

The set is rated top-rack dishwasher safe, but hand washing is easier on the edges. Let each knife dry fully before it goes back in its cover.

Questions

What knives are in the set? An 8-inch chef knife, 8-inch carving knife, 8-inch bread knife, a 7-inch and a 5-inch santoku, and a 3-inch paring knife, each with a matching slip cover.

Are the colors a food-safety color-coding system? No. The listing makes no HACCP claim, so don't rely on these colors to keep raw meat, fish and produce apart the way a commercial kitchen does. The colors match each knife to its cover and make the blades easy to tell apart.

Why two santoku knives? The 7-inch handles full-size vegetable prep, and the 5-inch is a nimble in-between blade for smaller jobs where a chef knife feels like too much.
