This set of five Japanese kitchen knives with traditional circular wooden handles would be the perfect entry point into cooking with Japanese knives, or an ideal gift for your culinary-minded friends.

Containing the five most popular Japanese knife styles, each with extra sharp and durable molybdenum vanadium stainless steel blades, with a traditional hammered steel pattern and wooden handles, these knives will handle any cutting task you'd need them for.

Features

• The 210mm gyuto knife is an all-purpose knife partial to cutting meat. The gyuto knife style was initially developed to mimic European chef's knives, so this makes for a great day-to-day workhorse.
• The 210mm sashimi knife has a long, thin, and narrow blade that excels at making uniform and thin slices of fish for sashimi, with clean cuts and no jagged edges.
• The 120mm deba knife is smaller than most deba knives, and is the knife of choice for filleting and breaking down fish.
• The 160mm nakiri knife is a single-purpose Japanese vegetable knife, designed to easily cut through vegetables, even thick root vegetables like potatoes and daikon radish.
• Finally, the 170mm santoku knife is an all-purpose kitchen knife, and the most popular knife style in Japan. It has a more traditional shape when compared to the gyuto.
