Chef Knife & Cleaver Set, 2 Piece
The two knives that cover most of a kitchen
An 8 inch chef knife handles the majority of daily cutting, meat, fish, vegetables, general prep, and the 7 inch cleaver-style knife picks up the rest, broader chopping, mincing, and the heavier cuts a chef knife alone struggles with. Both knives are built to the same spec as our 8-Piece Japanese Kitchen Knife Set: full tang construction, a 15° edge, and high grade stainless steel that resists corrosion.
The ergonomic pakkawood handles are non slip and durable, the same handles used across our full knife set, so if you already own one you'll recognise the fit and balance immediately. This is the two knife starting point for a kitchen that isn't ready for a full 8 piece set yet, without settling for a lower quality pair.
Why cooks choose this set
- Covers the majority of daily cutting with just two knives
- Same full tang construction and steel as our full 8-piece set
- Non slip pakkawood handles built to last
- High grade stainless steel, sharpened to 15° and corrosion resistant
- A lower cost way into the RationSteel knife range

Frequently asked questions
➤ What's actually included in this set?
An 8 inch chef (Gyuto) knife and a 7 inch cleaver-style knife, both with pakkawood handles and full tang construction. It's the same knives and specification used in our 8-Piece Japanese Kitchen Knife Set, just the two most used sizes.
➤ Why these two knives specifically?
The chef knife covers the majority of everyday cutting, meat, fish, vegetables and general prep. The cleaver-style knife picks up broader chopping and mincing that a single chef knife handles less comfortably. Together they cover most kitchen tasks without needing a full 8-piece set.
➤ Are the handles the same as the full 8-piece set?
Yes, identical pakkawood handles, non slip and full tang, so the fit and balance match our full set exactly.
➤ Is this dishwasher safe?
Hand wash is recommended for both knives to protect the edge and the handles long term.
➤ Is this a good starter set or gift?
It's a lower cost way into the range for someone who isn't ready for the full 8-piece set, and a practical two knife gift for a new kitchen.
➤ What if it's not the right fit for me?
Backed by a 30-day return window, no questions asked.
