Four handmade Japanese knives, each one forged from layered Damascus steel. The core blade uses AUS-10 high-carbon steel at HRC 61±1 hardness, surrounded by 66 layers of softer steel. This gives you the sharpness of hard steel with the resilience to hold its edge through years of use.
The hammered pattern (tsuchime) is more than beautiful—it creates tiny air pockets that reduce drag and stop food from sticking to the blade as you cut. Each knife arrives in a bamboo sheath and sits perfectly balanced in your hand.
Four knives: paring (90mm), petty (135mm), santoku (170mm), kiritsuke (210mm)
