Great product at a reasonable price. Top quality and well packaged. My old knifes were not so sharp and I had a casual way of handling them. Unpacking my new seido knife set, I accidentally cut myself several times; nothing serious. Sharpness of these knifes are second to none!

Bought a set of knives for over 500 dollars handles started to come apart and wouldn't replace I hand wash only some the knives started having pieces after first use. This is a garbage company that doesn't honor warranty and knowingly sells defective products.

We’re very sorry to hear about your experience. We completely understand your frustration. Please note that our warranty covers manufacturing defects, but it does not extend to damage resulting from regular wear and tear or use over time. Since your purchase was made in 2023, and the issue appears to be due to normal usage, we’re unfortunately unable to replace the knives under warranty.
You can review our full warranty policy here: https://seidoknives.com/pages/warranty.
We appreciate your understanding and feedback, and we’ll be sure to share it with our quality team for review.

They do not give any warranty.
This company would not replace or even help with a broken handle of a knife that I did not even use yet. To much money out for crap help after the fact.

Reply from Seido Knives
We’re sorry to hear about your experience. We completely understand how disappointing that must have been. We do replace items if they arrive damaged in transit, but since it has been a few months since your purchase — and as you mentioned in your email, the handle may have broken during use or possibly been dropped — this unfortunately falls outside our warranty coverage.
You can review our full warranty details here: https://seidoknives.com/pages/warranty.
We truly appreciate your understanding and hope we can serve you better in the future.

I bought a 5 pc set a number of years ago. I loved all of the knives but the small paring knife became my favorite for little projects.
The longer serrated edge soon after became my second favorite. Always sharp and ready to go.
The longer paring knife is perfect for cutting corn off the cob.

Perfect for Culinary school.
I purchased Seido knives in place of my student set for culinary school. The same knives were a $500 markup through my school. Seldo knives were recommended by my professors and are wonderful knives and easy to sharpen, and stay sharp a very long time.

Sharpness Ain't Everything
My first set of presumably premium knives The knives straight out the box were great. However, after a year of use, I find the knives are still incredibly sharp, but they rust easily. Don't know if I'm supposed to oil them after each use and keep them wrapped up in cloth or what I should do. I use them but they're not my go-to because they still feel unbalanced and too light, like the tong isn't long enough for the handle, or the handle itself doesn't have enough bulk or mass. I have large hands but they're not that large. They're okay but fall short of my expectations of what a premium knife should be. Through this purchase I've learned sharpness isn't everything as all knives should be sharp by definition. Functionality means more. Again, they're sharp, but so is my Oneida and it fits perfectly in my hand, is perfectly balanced, doesn't rust, and can be put in a drawer naked not slathered in oil for pennies on the dollar. They're beautiful knives to look and guests marvel at their appearance when mounted. They look good and slice good, but they just don't feel good in my hand. Perhaps I should have gotten a different color?

Thank you for taking the time to share such a detailed review. We truly value your honest feedback—it helps us improve and better serve our customers.
You are correct that sharpness alone isn’t everything, and we’re sorry to hear the knives didn’t fully meet your expectations in terms of balance and handling. Regarding the rusting, our knives are made with high-carbon steel, which allows them to achieve and maintain exceptional sharpness, but it does mean they require a bit of extra care. We recommend handwashing, drying immediately after use, and lightly oiling the blade every so often to protect against moisture and prevent rust.
It sounds like comfort and balance are especially important for you, and we completely understand. We have a variety of collections with different weights, handle designs, and balance points—some with more bulk in the handle—that may suit your preferences better. If you’d like, our team would be happy to recommend a line that might feel more natural in your hand.
We’re glad to hear that your knives perform beautifully and are admired by guests, but we’d love for you to feel just as satisfied with their functionality as you are with their look. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to us directly if you’d like guidance on care tips or alternative styles better tailored to your needs.
