"Best Simple Knife Set"
"Material's Sleek Knife Set Is a Must For Any At-Home Chef"
"A runaway favorite when it comes to high-performance quality and design-forward aesthetics at a competitive price point."

Three is all you need.

Top-heavy knives cause hand-cramping. Our blade is a full tang: it extends into the handle, so weight is better distributed, and won’t break under pressure.

A knife is only as good as the precision of its cut. In pursuit of enduring sharpness, we were inspired by narrow-tipped Japanese knives and tested numerous angles before landing on a 13° edge.

At finishing, each knife is hand-polished, then heat-treated at 300°F before it’s cryogenically tempered at well-beyond freezing -250°, altering the structure of the steel on a molecular level, making it harder, sharper, and more durable.

We integrated the classic oval shape of Japanese handles into our design, but used an innovative, stain-resistant composite material in a matte finish to make ours firm and slightly grippy, for safe and confident chopping.

Sage is GORGEOUS!

Wanted to replace the first knives I ever bought for myself and am so glad I went with this brand. The set is gorgeous, a comfortable weight, and I'm SO happy I got the sage before it sold out. I wish it didn't say "Beverly's Material" on it though, rather just "Material", but that's a pretty minor aesthetic thing. Got the Willow Steak Knives to match. Hoping they come out with more single knife options!

Fantastic set of knives

After procrastinating for years, I decided to buy a new set of knives. I followed Samin Nosrat's website's recommendation, and chose The Trio. What a pleasure to use in the kitchen: sleek design, perfect weight, and very sharp. I love them! Highly recommend.
