Knives

The Made In 2-Piece Japanese Damascus Steel Knife Set pairs the two blades that cover most of a home cook’s prep: the gyuto for meat, fish, and general cutting, and the nakiri for vegetables. Both are forged in Seki, Japan, with VG-10 cores inside 66 layers of Damascus steel, so they share the same sharp 15-degree edge, balance, and hand-finished handles.

The Made In Japanese Damascus Steel Nakiri is built for vegetables. Its tall, rectangular blade and perfectly flat edge meet the cutting board along their full length, so each straight downward cut goes cleanly through an onion, a carrot, or a stack of greens without leaving connected pieces.

Why It PerformsFully flat edge: Made for push cuts and straight chopping. Every cut reaches the board, so slices separate cleanly.Tall blade: The 1 7/8-inch height gives your knuckles clearance and doubles as a scoop for moving chopped vegetables to the pan.Double bevel at 15 degrees: Sharpened on both sides, so it cuts straight for both right- and left-handed cooks.VG-10 core and Damascus cladding: A hard stainless core for a long-lasting edge, protected by layered steel.Full tang, polymer handle: Balanced, with a hand-finished handle that resists slipping and staining.

Why It PerformsStraight edge: Slices cleanly through cooked meat and can be maintained with a honing rod and resharpened, unlike most serrated steak knives.Curved tip: Follows the bone and trims fat neatly.Full tang: Steel runs the length of the handle for balance and strength.Olive wood handles: Each handle has its own grain, so no two knives at the table look the same.
