Description
This comprehensive set, featuring ten Japanese knives, a whetstone, and storage block, has everything you need and want in a knife collection (and is exclusive to Borough Kitchen).
—DETAILS—
We consider the Kai Shun Classic range the best of the best for its high-quality stainless steel blades and comfortable handles.
Kai Shun adapts centuries-old samurai blacksmithing to make exceptional Japanese knives for the modern cook. Every knife in their world-renowned Classic range has a steeply tapered blade, which makes it much sharper than a Western knife. A core of hard VG MAX steel, surrounded by 32 layers of Damascus steel, makes it extremely durable and rust-resistant, ensuring the knife retains its edge in between sharpenings—with a whetstone only. The layers, which create a unique pattern on each knife, help prevent food from sticking to the side of the blade. The tarnish-proof pakkawood handle has a chestnut (or ‘D’) shape that moulds perfectly to a right-handed grip. The balance and overall lightness of these knives make this set a great investment, as well as the inclusion of a sharpening stone and stable magnetic block that both protects and beautifully displays the collection.
