Misaki AKANE Santoku & Utility Knife Set

Two AKANE knives that together cover almost every everyday task.

In the set

• 1 × Santoku Knife AKANE – Santoku means “three virtues”: meat, fish and vegetables. A tall blade with an almost straight edge for clean, even cuts.
• 1 × Utility Knife AKANE – Compact and nimble for smaller jobs: vegetables, herbs, fruit and small cuts of meat.

AKANE line – heavier and even sharper, for those who want maximum precision. Hammered blade of 73 layers of Damascus steel with a 14Cr14MoVNb niobium powder-steel core (62–64 HRC), vacuum and cryogenic hardening, Japanese V-edge at 15° per side, full tang. Dark rosewood handle.

Each knife is one of a kind: the Damascus pattern and the wood grain vary from piece to piece.
