A selection rooted in Japanese tradition
This Abalone Pearl set of 7 is built squarely around Japanese cooking. The kiritsuke knife, the masterpiece of Japanese bladesmithing and traditionally reserved for head chefs, leads a selection designed for working the Japanese way. The santoku and nakiri cover everyday prep and vegetables, while the 7.5" wide chef's knife with its 66 mm tall blade handles coarse cuts and large vegetables. The 8" chef's knife, utility knife and paring knife complete the set, from long slicing strokes to fine work. A deliberate choice: no boning knife, no European slicer, but the complete arsenal of a cook who takes Japanese tradition seriously.
