About Kamikoto Kanpeki Knife Set
Over a thousand years of craftsmanship have inspired the final form of the Kamikoto Kanpeki Knife Set. Meticulously handcrafted, each blade features high-quality steel from Honshu, Japan – a steel with high corrosion resistance and durability. The Kanpeki Knife Set is rigorously quality tested to ensure that it meets the distinction and caliber of Kamikoto.
The Kamikoto Kanpeki Knife Set includes one vegetable knife, one slicing knife, and one utility knife to tackle the smaller, more intricate chores in the kitchen. Each knife is precision balanced and weighted for optimal form and long-lasting performance.
The Nakiri vegetable knife is 7 inches long, the slicing knife is 8.5 inches long, and the utility knife is 5 inches long. Each blade is carefully tapered on one side and hollow ground on the other. Both handle and blade are satin finished to a subtle, yet stunning luster. The Kamikoto Kanpeki Knife Set is presented in a natural-colored ash wood box for safe storage and keeping.

Very sharp.The knives are comfortable to hold. I like the cutting power of the knives as my hands tend to cramp at the worst of times. Just remember to be very careful using them and keep safely away from children.

Fantastic!We are quite serious about our cooking at home–we cook a LOT of Korean food which means a ton of chopping and thin-cutting of meat and vegetables–but full disclosure in that we are not professional chefs. So I debated for awhile whether or not we should invest in high quality knives but now I can say I’m extremely happy with this purchase–its made my own cooking at home more fun, easier, and we’re actually able to do more with these knives. (I’ll leave the same review for the 7 in. chef’s knife we also purchased since its general enough to cover both)One of things you should know before the purchase is that these are single blade knives. In case some are not familiar with this, I’ll put it briefly: most regular knives are double bladed which means the right and left side of knife are sharpened. With Kamikoto knives only the right side is sharpened. This means that you have more control of the cut and can perform better for more sophisticated cuts. For example, sushi, so considering that I cook Asian cuisine more often, this takes me to another level of cooking. With these knives, I can actually make my own sashimi at home and also cut veggies more thinly so it opens up more possibilities for us. This can take a little getting used to, however. But once you know the techniques, EVERYTHING becomes easier.Also, when I held the Kamikoto knives for the first time, I was thinking that they weigh in my hand really well. Bigger knives weighed lighter than I expected and the smaller one was heavier than I expected. The grips are good too. Not too sticky, and also with wet hands I can grip them well.Especially I am a big fan of the vegetable knife (others are great too, of course). To me, it’s a perfect size. Since it has a single blade, the vegetables don’t stick to the back much.I’d better wrap up here otherwise I can write it on and on. If you are a serious home cook or want to explore more serious techniques that can make your life and cuisine easier, I would definitely recommend these knives. That’s why we put it as a full 5-star–even though we’re quite picky, we couldn’t find anything wrong with these.

Knife SetI bought three of these sets. All three recipients are raving about them. The set presents beautifully in a wooden box that is also used to store the knives and protect the blades. Best idea ever. Highly recommended for any cook in your life that appreciates excellent carving knives

Style and balanceThese knives are perfectly balanced and feelNatural in the hand when cutting.comfortable and hold edge like a knife should. I also purchased a set of Benicci stones to keep my investments sharp. I have wanted a set of good knives for yrs and finally found this set.

Box not useableThe knives look to be of great quality but the box isn’t useful in storing knives so I ordered a wooden magnet holder. Box clasp screws stripped and one fell out. But overall it seems like a decent buy.
