Description
Elevate your kitchen experience with the Akakiri 8-Piece Japanese High-Carbon Steel Knife Set — a perfect blend of bold design and superior cutting performance. Each knife in the Akakiri set is individually forged from premium high-carbon steel, once favored by Japanese swordsmiths for its remarkable hardness and precision. This modern take on tradition delivers exceptional sharpness, edge retention, and resilience.
The blades feature a beautifully etched Damascus pattern, a nod to centuries-old knife-making techniques. Whether you’re slicing, dicing, or carving, the razor-sharp 15° double-bevel edge ensures smooth and effortless cuts from the very first use.
Designed for both beauty and comfort, the crimson red handles are ergonomically shaped and equipped with a finger guard for added protection and control. Built for durability and daily use, the Akakiri set is more than just a knife set — it's a statement piece for your kitchen.
