Four essential blade shapes, one cohesive Japanese-Style Knife set — hand-forged and finished with warm, slip-resistant ebony handles for a kitchen that's ready for anything.
Each knife in this set is forged by hand from 440C steel and hardened to 60±2 HRC, giving the blades a very sharp, durable edge with a clear, distinctive texture. It's a multifunctional set built to chop, slice and cut vegetables, fruit and meat, suitable for professional chefs and home cooks alike.
The ergonomic ebony handles are comfortable to grip and slip-resistant even with wet hands, so control stays consistent through long prep sessions. Together, the four blades cover the full range of everyday kitchen tasks — from broad chopping to fine, detailed cuts.
As with any fine kitchen knife, a little care goes a long way: keep the blades clean and thoroughly dried to prevent rust or staining, and this set will stay sharp and beautiful for years of use.
