Know before you buy
The set includes a chef knife, slicing knife, serrated utility knife, fine-edge utility knife, santoku knife, serrated paring knife, paring knife, six steak knives, all-purpose kitchen shears, and the wooden storage block with a built-in sharpener.
The storage block features an integrated sharpening slot designed to hone your blades every time you slide them in or out. This helps maintain the edge of your high-carbon Japanese steel knives without needing to use a separate sharpening stone.
While the manufacturer lists them as dishwasher safe, we strongly recommend hand washing. High-heat cycles and harsh detergents can dull the blades and damage the handles over time, shortening the lifespan of your set.
High-carbon Japanese steel is prized for its ability to hold a razor-sharp edge longer than standard stainless steel. It allows for thinner, more precise blades that make chopping, slicing, and dicing much easier.
Yes, the knives feature ergonomic stainless steel handles designed to provide a secure, comfortable grip. This balance helps reduce hand fatigue during repetitive tasks like dicing vegetables or slicing meat.
