Hageshi AUS-10 Japanese Chef Knife Set, 5-Piece with Ebony Wood Handles & Magnetic Sheaths

The Hageshi AUS-10 Japanese chef knife set combines a hard Japanese steel cutting core with striking natural wood handles and protective sheaths for every blade. Each knife is built around an AUS-10 Japanese steel cutting core clad in two layers of 430 high-carbon stainless steel, finished with a textured hammer-forged surface. It is a durable, corrosion-resistant Japanese kitchen knife set made for heavy daily use in a busy home kitchen or a professional setting.

This 5-piece Japanese knife set covers the core tasks of everyday cooking. The 9-inch Kiritsuke is a long, versatile blade for precise slicing and fine cuts, while the 8-inch Gyuto chef's knife is the all-round workhorse for chopping, dicing and slicing. The 7-inch Nakiri is shaped for fast, clean vegetable prep, the 5.5-inch Petty knife handles smaller utility jobs and trimming, and the compact 5-inch Santoku is ideal for quick all-purpose prep of herbs, vegetables and boneless proteins.

Each blade is sharpened to a 12° edge and rated at 60-62 HRC for long-lasting edge retention. The knives are full tang, well balanced and double bevelled, making them suitable for both left- and right-handed users. The handcrafted octagonal African Mkuruti wood and Ebony wood handles give a secure, ergonomic grip and superior control, and each knife comes paired with a carbon magnetic ash wood sheath to stow and protect the edge safely between uses. The maker describes the set as hand-forged craftsmanship.

Designed for precision and accuracy, this Japanese chef knife set suits passionate home cooks who want premium tools without filling a whole knife block, as well as professionals who need tough knives for heavy-duty prep. The sheaths make it easy to store the knives in a drawer or carry them to a cooking class, a friend's kitchen or a holiday rental.

Packed in a storage/gift box with five matching magnetic sheaths, the Hageshi set is a thoughtful chef gift for anyone who takes cooking seriously. It makes an impressive Father's Day gift, anniversary gift or housewarming gift for the food lover in your life.

For best results, hand wash each knife with warm, soapy water, dry it immediately after washing and store it with the blade edge protected in its sheath. Whetstones are recommended for sharpening quality Japanese knives.
