The Vintage Japanese Set

Three compact Japanese carbon steel knives spanning 140-160mm - a versatile trio suited to precision prep work, detail cutting, and everyday kitchen tasks. Carbon steel at 58 HRC takes an exceptionally sharp edge and develops a natural patina with use. Each knife has been individually inspected and is ready to use. Stock is strictly one-of-a-kind - when this set is gone, it's gone.

Care & Maintenance

• Hand wash only - never dishwasher
• Dry immediately after use - carbon steel will rust if left wet
• Apply a light coat of food-safe oil if storing for extended periods
• Expect a natural patina to develop with use - this is normal and protective
• Hone regularly with a honing steel to maintain the edge
• Sharpen with a whetstone as needed
• Store on a magnetic strip or in a knife block
