What’s in the Set

8" Chef's Knife

Your go-to for everyday prep. The hybrid blade handles rocking, chopping, drawing, and slicing, from herbs to a whole chicken.

3.5" Paring Knife

Your off-the-board knife built for handheld precision tasks like hulling strawberries, slicing peaches, and peeling just about anything.

8" Serrated Knife

Wave-style serrations glide through crusts, cakes, and soft produce without crushing or tearing.

5.5" Utility Knife

When a chef's knife feels like overkill and a paring knife isn't quite enough, the utility blade steps in. Great for cheese, citrus, charcuterie, and fish.

6" Bunka Knife

A Japanese-style chef's knife with a precision triangle tip for mincing and detail cuts, plus a straight belly for clean, controlled everyday prep.

Kitchen Shears

Micro-serrated blades with a 20° angle for clean cuts through herbs, chicken, pizza, and parchment. Take-apart construction for easy cleaning.

Bench Scraper

The fastest way to move ingredients from board to pan. Large stainless steel surface, comfortable handle, safe on countertops and cutting boards.

Basically a Navy Seal

Rust-proof after 100 dishwasher cycles.

Because it’s got more chromium than standard high-carbon stainless, ACUTO440's rust resistance is a lab result, not a marketing claim.

Works Harder, Stays Sharper

Holds a razor edge through heavy prep.

At 58±2 HRC, ACUTO440 has incredible edge retention without brittleness. That means you can put off sharpening it for longer.

Questions?

What are Misen’s ACUTO440 Knives made of?

Our ACUTO440 Knives are made with AICHI ACUTO440, an exceptionally corrosion-resistant Japanese high-carbon stainless steel. AICHI ACUTO440 is rust-proof, incredibly durable, and has excellent edge retention. What that means for you: less time cleaning and sharpening, more cooking.
What’s the difference between Misen’s ACUTO440 Knives and classic knives?

All of our knives are made from high-carbon stainless steel, which is what gives them their razor-sharpness and excellent edge retention. However, our ACUTO440 Knives have a much higher chromium content (about 18%), which makes them significantly more corrosion (aka rust) resistant.

Our ACUTO440 Knives also feature a rounded spine and heel (the back of the knife where the blade meets the bolster), creating a more comfortable grip over long prep sessions.
How are Misen’s ACUTO440 Knives different from other high-carbon knives?

We wanted our ACUTO440 Knives to be high-performance tools that you could still leave in the sink overnight if you needed to. That’s why our ACUTO440 Knives are made with AICHI ACUTO440, a Japanese high-carbon stainless steel that is more durable and easier to care for than other high-carbon knives, which are prone to rusting and/or chipping without proper care.
What do you mean by rust-proof?

Our ACUTO440 Knives are made with AICHI ACUTO440 steel, an exceptionally corrosion-resistant Japanese high-carbon stainless steel. Our knives have been lab-certified to withstand up to 100 dishwasher cycles, as well as 50 days of being submerged in water, without showing any signs of rust.
Can I put Misen’s ACUTO440 Knives in the dishwasher?

While our ACUTO440 Knives have been lab-certified to withstand up to 100 dishwasher cycles without showing any signs of rust, we generally recommend hand washing all of your Misen knives. Because our knives are extremely sharp, when they get jostled around in the dishwasher, the blade can cut through the soft materials that make up your dishwasher racks. Dishwashing can also damage your knives if the blade edge bangs against hard objects like flatware or pots and pans during the washing cycle.
How often should I sharpen my knives?

Whenever you start to notice your knife is slicing and dicing a little less crisply than usual, it’s time to sharpen. Although our ACUTO440 Knives can go long periods between sharpenings, we generally recommend getting them sharpened about twice a year for best performance. We also recommend regularly using a honing rod between sharpenings to keep your knife edge in good shape.
My blade has discoloration and/or staining. What is this?

While our ACUTO440 Knives are rust-proof, all high-carbon knives can experience some discoloration and/or staining with prolonged exposure to acidic foods and/or salt. This is purely cosmetic and is not the same as rust.

    Shear Joy!

    These kitchen shears are such a joy to use! They come apart for easy cleaning, the handles are extremely comfortable, and the micro serrated edges keeps whatever I'm cutting under total control. What's not to like about these shears? I highly recommend!

7-Piece ACUTO440 Knife Set in Red

The 7-Piece Knife Set (ACUTO440) in red is built as a complete, practical lineup for everyday home cooking: five essential knives plus two tools that speed up prep and make cleanup easier. All knives in the set use AICHI ACUTO440 steel and are designed with a rounded spine for a more comfortable pinch grip, so you can focus on clean, controlled cuts.

In this 7-piece ACUTO lineup, the color is an aesthetic choice, not a performance change. What stays consistent is what you actually use day to day: an 8” Chef’s Knife, 3.3” Paring Knife, 8” Serrated Knife, 5.5” Utility Knife, and 6” Bunka Knife, plus a bench scraper and standard kitchen shears. If you are comparing sets across the site, the broader knife sets range makes it easier to choose a bundle size that fits how you cook.

The steel is a core reason to choose this set. The knives use AICHI ACUTO440 steel for exceptional sharpness and edge retention, and the page notes lab-tested rust resistance proven to withstand 50 days submerged in water and up to 100 dishwasher cycles. For everyday upkeep, follow the on-page guidance: hand wash, dry immediately after use, and sharpen every 4–6 months. If you want the brand’s full maintenance guidance in one place, see Acuto knives care.

The included tools are not afterthoughts. The kitchen shears have micro-serrated blades for stronger, cleaner cuts, a 20° blade angle for precise snipping, and durable German steel construction, with ambidextrous non-slip handles. They also have detachable blades, which helps with thorough cleaning. The bench scraper adds a large stainless steel blade for scooping and transferring, plus a comfortable silicone handle, and it is listed as safe for countertops and cutting boards.

Once you have seven pieces in rotation, storage and protection matter as much as the blades themselves. Pairing a set like this with dedicated knife storage solutions helps keep edges from knocking together in a drawer and makes your most-used knives easier to grab during prep. If you are building a larger bundle for your kitchen, you can also compare other bundles in Sets to match your knife setup with cookware and more.
