A Japanese-Style Knife Set for Everyday Cooking

Good meals start with knives that cut cleanly. This set brings together the Japanese-style blades home cooks reach for every day: a chef knife, santoku, nakiri, small santoku and paring knife, each with a sharp 15° edge, an etched Damascus-pattern blade and a warm Pakkawood handle. Choose the 5-piece set, the larger 8-piece set, or the complete 10-piece bundle with a steel knife block and sharpener.

Sound familiar?

Why so many kitchens need better knives

A drawer full of dull knives

Cheap knives lose their edge fast, and you end up with a pile of blades that crush rather than cut.

Tomatoes that squash

A blunt edge tears soft food instead of slicing it cleanly.

The wrong knife for the job

One knife for bread, meat, fish and vegetables makes every task harder than it should be.

Why it cuts well

A sharp edge that stays sharp

The blades are made of 7CR17 high-carbon stainless steel with a hardness of HRC 58+, a good balance between holding a sharp edge and everyday durability.

Many Western-style knives are ground to about 25 degrees. These blades have a narrower 15° edge on both sides, for a cleaner, sharper cut. Because the edge is double bevelled, the knives suit right- and left-handed cooks.

Comfort and control

Balanced in the hand

Each knife is full tang, with a forged, sloped bolster that runs gradually into the blade. Your hand sits comfortably, with good control over every cut, and the bolster adds strength.

  • Pakkawood handle: strong and stable, it does not warp or absorb water.
  • Etched Damascus pattern: a distinctive look on every blade.
  • Granton edge on the santoku: small hollows help keep food from sticking.
  • Full tang: the steel runs through the whole handle for balance.

What every blade is for

In the 5-piece set

The everyday five

Cutting with the chef knife

Gyuto chef knife, 20 cm (8 in)

The classic all-rounder for chopping, dicing, slicing and mincing. Strong enough for tough meat, easy enough for vegetables. Blade 204 mm, total length 335 mm, 187 g.

Slicing red cabbage with the santoku

Santoku, 18 cm (7 in)

Santoku means "three virtues": chopping, dicing and mincing. A thinner blade for fine cuts, with a granton edge so food sticks less. Blade 175 mm, total length 308 mm, 195 g.

Slicing red onion with the nakiri

Nakiri, 18 cm (7 in)

Nakiri means "leaf cutter": made to mince, chop, dice and slice vegetables. The broad side is handy for crushing garlic. Blade 171 mm, total length 304 mm, 209 g.

Slicing mushrooms with the small santoku

Small santoku, 13 cm (5 in)

A smaller santoku for quick prep and delicate tasks where a big knife feels unwieldy. Blade 119 mm, total length 236 mm, 95 g.

Cutting a kiwi with the paring knife

Paring knife, 9 cm (3.5 in)

A straight-edge knife with the control you need for peeling, paring and detailed work. Blade 89 mm, total length 204 mm, 79 g.

Added in the 8-piece set

Three specialists

Slicing with the long slicing knife

Slicing knife, 20 cm (8 in)

For thin, even slices of roasts, fruit and vegetables. Blade 195 mm, total length 322 mm, 165 g.

Slicing bread with the serrated knife

Serrated bread knife, 20 cm (8 in)

Grips the crust and saws through it without squashing the soft crumb, and slices delicate fruit like tomatoes. Blade 204 mm, total length 330 mm, 169 g.

Cutting meat from the bone with the boning knife

Boning knife, 15 cm (6 in)

A curved, flexible blade that separates meat and fish from bones and joints and makes thin, precise cuts. Blade 147 mm, total length 278 mm, 115 g.
