This comprehensive set, featuring ten Japanese knives, a whetstone, and storage block, has everything you need and want in a knife collection (and is exclusive to Borough Kitchen).

—DETAILS—

We consider the Kai Shun Classic range the best of the best for its high-quality stainless steel blades and comfortable handles.

Kai Shun adapts centuries-old samurai blacksmithing to make exceptional Japanese knives for the modern cook. Every knife in their world-renowned Classic range has a steeply tapered blade, which makes it much sharper than a Western knife. A core of hard VG MAX steel, surrounded by 32 layers of Damascus steel, makes it extremely durable and rust-resistant, ensuring the knife retains its edge in between sharpeningswith a whetstone only. The layers, which create a unique pattern on each knife, help prevent food from sticking to the side of the blade. The tarnish-proof pakkawood handle has a chestnut (or D) shape that moulds perfectly to a right-handed grip. The balance and overall lightness of these knives make this set a great investment, as well as the inclusion of a sharpening stone and stable magnetic block that both protects and beautifully displays the collection.

This set includes:

• Kai Shun Classic Chefs Knife 20cm
• Kai Shun Classic Paring Knife 8.5cm
• Kai Shun Classic Utility Knife 15cm
• Kai Shun Classic Bread Knife 22.5cm
• Kai Shun Classic Scalloped Santoku Knife / 18cm
