The essentials of Japanese cooking
This Forest Marble set of 5 brings together the two chef's blades — the Western-style 8" chef's knife and the Japanese-style kiritsuke — around the santoku, the everyday knife par excellence. The utility and paring knives take care of the smaller jobs: fruit, finishing, peeling. Five knives, no duplication, the full spectrum of cutting.
Set contents
5 knives: chef's knife 8", kiritsuke 8", santoku 7", utility knife 6", paring knife 3.5".
