Shipping was super fast, actually came earlier than expected. Got a chefs knife for my husband’s birthday gift and he absolutely loves it. It is a beautiful knife for an amazing price!

Great set of knives!!!
Great set of knives! Just used them tonight. The steak knives cut through 1.5” Bone in Ribeyes like the per verbal “hot knife through butter”! Block is beautiful and matches everything in our kitchen! Can’t wait to use the rest of the set! Very excited! If you’re waiting to buy these…DONT!!! You won’t be disappointed!

Thank you for such an enthusiastic review! We’re thrilled to hear your first experience with the set was a great one — especially putting the steak knives to the test on those ribeyes!
It’s wonderful to know you’re enjoying the performance, sharpness, and the look of the block in your kitchen. We love the excitement, and we’re confident the rest of the set will continue to impress as you use each piece.
We truly appreciate your support and recommendation!

Effortless, smooth motion
When your kitchen knife makes a raw potato appear like you’re cutting through a baked potato…you know you made the right knife choice! Also, the weight feels substantial of quality in your hand. Balanced and wields like a master. Beautiful appearance with a nicely subtle Damascus steel detail. I appreciate the smooth lines. Rather than a very deep acid etching.
I couldn’t be happier with my knives in the kitchen!

Thank you for such a fantastic review! We love the comparison — when a raw potato cuts like a baked one, that’s when you know a knife is doing its job perfectly.
We’re thrilled to hear that you’re enjoying the balance, weight, and smooth cutting performance, as well as the subtle Damascus detailing and clean lines of the blade. It’s wonderful to know the knives are bringing both beauty and precision to your kitchen.

Knives That Can Split Hairs
After many years of being told I need a new knife I decided to get a full block set. In addition I took advantage of an offer to buy a "mystery" knife. The set itself is beautiful and the Damascus steel provides an aura of elegance while simultaneously announcing they mean business. Wildly sharp, well balanced and flawlessly crafted. The "mystery" knife is the one I use at every opportunity I get. No vegetable or fruit is safe in our kitchen and everyone receives pre sliced protein come mealtime. It is often said, but a cheap tool and you cry every time you use it, buy a quality tool and your cry once. My only regret is I waited so long to commit and buy the Seido knife set. Meal prep brings me joy again and the "mystery" knife, or officially the 8.5" Kiritsuke knife is a peice of art that gives warriors vibes with every slice.
Thank you Seido, outstanding value and quality products.

It’s wonderful to know that the Damascus steel, balance, and craftsmanship are delivering both elegance and performance, making meal prep enjoyable again. We love that your Kiritsuke knife has become your go-to tool — giving “warrior vibes” with every slice is exactly the kind of joy we hope our knives bring.

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…
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!

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.
February 24, 2026
Unprompted review
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.

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.

Unprompted review
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.
