The \u003cstrong\u003e5-piece high carbon steel\u003c\/strong\u003e collection pairs Japanese-style kitchen knife profiles with unique \u003cstrong\u003eash wood and black resin handles\u003c\/strong\u003e, and each knife is individually made with close attention to blade shape, handle construction and overall finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis Japanese-style kitchen knife set gives you a versatile line-up for food preparation. The 9\" kiritsuke is a long, precise slicer for fish, meat and vegetables, while the 8\" chef knife is the everyday workhorse for chopping and dicing. The 7\" santoku excels at fine slicing and mincing, the 6.5\" nakiri's straight edge makes quick work of vegetables and herbs, and the 5.5\" fruit knife handles peeling and smaller tasks. Every knife has a 5\" handle, and the set arrives in a \u003cstrong\u003ehandmade leather storage and carrying bag\u003c\/strong\u003e that keeps the blades organised.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHigh carbon steel is valued by cooks for its ability to take and hold a sharp edge. With a blade thickness of 2.5 mm, these knives feel solid and controlled on the board. Over time, high carbon steel can naturally develop a patina or darker colouring, which is a normal characteristic of the steel and not a defect. Because each set is handmade, small variations in wood grain, resin pattern, colour, polishing and finish are part of its character, so no two sets look exactly alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis kiritsuke, nakiri and santoku knife set suits home cooks who enjoy cooking from scratch, as well as chefs who want a characterful set for prep work. It makes a thoughtful \u003cstrong\u003egift for chefs\u003c\/strong\u003e, home cooks and cooking enthusiasts, and a distinctive \u003cstrong\u003ewedding, housewarming or Father's Day gift\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCare:\u003c\/strong\u003e high carbon steel needs a little more attention than stainless steel. Hand wash only and never use the dishwasher. Dry immediately after washing, do not leave blades soaking, and never store the knives wet. Once fully dry, a very thin coat of food-safe mineral oil helps protect the steel. Store in a dry place, avoid prolonged contact with acidic foods and moisture, and do not use abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals. These are sharp culinary knives for adult food-preparation use only; keep them away from children and store them securely.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBlade Steel\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHigh carbon steel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePieces\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5 knives\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eKnives Included\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eKiritsuke, Chef Knife, Santoku, Nakiri, Fruit Knife\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBlade Lengths\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eKiritsuke 9\", Chef 8\", Santoku 7\", Nakiri 6.5\", Fruit 5.5\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eHandle Length\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5\" (all knives)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eOverall Lengths\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eKiritsuke 14\", Chef 13\", Santoku 12\", Nakiri 11.5\", Fruit 10.5\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBlade Thickness\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2.5 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eHandle Material\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAsh wood and black resin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eStorage\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHandmade leather storage\/carrying bag\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eStyle\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eJapanese-style profiles, handmade\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e9\" Kiritsuke Knife\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e8\" Chef Knife\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e7\" Santoku Knife\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e6.5\" Nakiri Knife\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5.5\" Fruit Knife\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandmade leather storage and carrying bag\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKnife laws can vary by location; please check your local regulations before purchasing.
