Having the right tools means confidence in the kitchen. These Japanese-style cook's knives are specialized for their dexterity in chopping, dicing, and slicing. Rust-resistant stainless steel blades hold an incredibly sharp edge. Traditional-style rounded Japanese handles are made of heat- and water-resistant resin. As with all fine cutlery, hand washing is best for care. This set includes an 8-inch chef's knife, a 7-inch Santoku knife, a 5-inch utility knife, a 5-inch serrated utility knife, a 3.5-inch paring knife, a honing rod, kitchen shears, and a hardwood storage block.
