The Kiritsuke
The boss of the kitchen. An allrounder with looks and power, you can swap out a Chef's knife or carver (or both) for this beauty. With a flatter profile than a traditional Chef's Knife, it excels at slicing and chopping, bringing extra heft through the spine to easily cut through any ingredient. Plus with the curved tip you still have plenty of leverage for roll cutting even larger items.
The Pankiri (Serrated Bread Knife)
To most people this is a bread knife (translated to "Pan" meaning bread and "Kiri " meaning cutter), with deadly serrations, 'reverse tanto' tip for piercing tough crusts, and plenty of clearance for your knuckles. We went for fine serrations on this blade, making it extra sharp, and easy to slice. You will appreciate the greater length for making longer cuts in sourdough loaves or portioning delicate pastries.
The Ko-Bunka
Our Ko-Bunka, functions similar to a petty or utility knife, with a compact blade length and curved blade edge. We find the added clearance under the handle, paired with the extra rigid K-Tip design gives it power and comfort in a smaller package. Don't be surprised when you find yourself reaching for this allrounder more than others.
The Cleaver
Our chopper is a real treat to use in the kitchen. The thicker spine, tall blade and boxy cleaver profile feels great in your hands, and drops through vegetables with no resistance. When test driving this collection, the chopper quickly became a standout for some of us, the weight and balance of the knife is super enjoyable to use. If you have lots of chopping to do for dinner, you cannot beat this knife.
The Honesuki
Honesuki's are the Japanese equivalent of a boning knife. This knife excels at poultry, seafood, and removing sinew and silver skin from larger cuts of red meat. The harder Japanese steel keeps the edge razor sharp for much longer, just avoid larger bones in lamb, pork and beef for best edge retention. With its angular profile, we also find it useful as a petty knife 'stand-in' when mincing garlic, shallots, and other small ingredients.
The Paring Knife
The workhorse of the collection. Our paring knife is a robust allrounder with comfortable grip for in-the-hand work. For extra control, you can rest your hand further up the blade using the reinforced K-Tip to peel onions, turn vegetables and slice fruits. Plus the hammered design lets food fall from the side of the blade, rather than clinging.
