First, you have a couple decisions to make. Which knife set you want, and how often do you want your knives to be sharpened?
There are three different knife sets to choose from and they contain only the knives you'd use regularly in the kitchen:
- Single Chef Knife: the classic, 8-inch, all-around knife
- Essential 3 Knife Set: chef knife, serrated knife, and paring knife
- Deluxe 5 Knife Set: chef knife, serrated knife, paring knife, Santoku knife, and utility knife
The sharpening frequency you choose depends on how often you cook and use your knives. You can get a new set once, twice, or three times a year.
You'll pay anywhere from $5.99 to $18.99 a month for the service.
These plans include sharpening and shipping costs. Since you're not permanently keeping the same set of knives, it also serves as a "rental" fee.

The knives are made from German, high-carbon steel, translating to high durability, razor sharpness, and resistance to corrosion. Cutting smoothly through ripe tomatoes and hard squashes alike, they proved to be sharp and tough enough for the whole range of prepping tasks.
They're not extremely heavy, but still have a not unsubstantial weight to them and are comfortable to grip.
Use your new, sharp knives until the time comes to exchange them.
I received my first set of knives in June 2018, and exchanged them five months later. After consistent use in my kitchen, they were in need for a refresh.
Your next set of newly sharpened knives comes with a return shipping label. Simply switch out your old knives and ship them back to Knifey.
The process was easy and pain-free. I took out the new, sharp knives, placed my old ones back in the box, and sent them off to Knifey.
I didn't have to spend any time and money learning how to sharpen them myself or physically bringing them to a professional, and the ultimate result was the same: a razor-sharp kitchen essential.
