Our Place is famous for creating kitchen essentials that look like pieces of art, but actually perform well, too. Case in point: The direct-to-consumer brand’s cult-favorite Always Pan is praised by fans for doing the job of eight pieces of cookware in one, and at one point had racked up a 30,000-person wait list. Well, the brand has done it again with not one, but two new launches that promise to look as good and be just as useful in your kitchen: A knife set and cutting board.
Our Place just launched even more Instagram-worthy kitchen essentials.
Our Place’s knife set includes three essential styles: An Everyday Chef’s Knife ($70) which features an 8-inch blade and is meant for slicing dicing and chopping everything from vegetables to meat; a Serrated Slicing Knife ($60) that will easily slice through the crustiest of sourdough loaves; and a Precise Paring Knife ($40) for smaller kitchen tasks like slicing fruits or chopping fresh herbs. And in keeping with Our Place’s distinct style, the knives are available in three lovely colors—Spice, Steam, and Blue Salt—inspired by the Always Pan’s popular glazes. While you can get a matching set of three, you can also opt to get each knife with a different colored handle or buy the knives individually, should you just need one or two.
These knives will look pretty sitting in your knife block, but they’re also designed to be used every single day. For starters, the stainless steel knives are full-tang, meaning the steel runs all the way through the length of the knife making giving added balance and durability. The handle also features a guided grip that makes it easy to hold the knife correctly while reducing strain and fatigue on your wrists.
As for the cutting board, it’s made from beautiful American Black Walnut wood and includes a built-in juice trench that can hold over 2/3 cup of liquid to avoid spills on your countertop while you’re chopping. You can also flip the cutting board—which is completely flat on the other side—and use it as a serving platter. It also features an ergonomic inset handle for when you want to move or store it away.
You can buy both the knife set (or the à la carte knives) and cutting board right now over on Our Place. Because if they're anything like the Always Pan, they'll probably sell out ASAP and you'll be waiting for a long time till they’re back in stock again.
