A starter set of four handmade Japanese knives that balance sharpness with durability. Each blade uses 440C high-carbon stainless steel (HRC 60±1) sharpened to a 15° double-bevel edge—sharper than Western knives, yet solid enough for daily work.

The hammered surface pattern isn't just aesthetic. It creates tiny pockets of air that reduce drag and prevent food sticking to the blade. Thin blades (1.5–1.8mm) let you cut cleanly without crushing delicate ingredients, preserving their flavour.

  • Four knives: paring (90mm), petty (135mm), santoku (170mm), kiritsuke (210mm)
  • Double-bevel 15° edge; 1.5–1.8mm blade thickness
  • Handmade, full tang, ebony handle; bamboo box and sheath per knife included
