Each elegant knife is crafted in Seki, Japan. There, artisans merge rich Japanese tradition with expert German engineering and state-of-the-art steels to produce these ultimate kitchen knives. This cutting-edge steel ensures the hand-honed blades retain their impressive sharpness for a long time. Thanks to an innovative, ice-hardened process, the blades offer remarkable durability, sharpness, and cutting performance. The stunning blades are finished with a true katana edge, homage to the samurai swords made in Seki centuries ago, and feature an embossed logo. Stylishly stamped with a silver mosaic pin, the exquisite octagon-shaped handle feels as good as it looks. The Pakkawood handle supports both Western chopping and Asian rocking cuts - experience ergonomic perfection with each slice.
These things are SHARP! I hope they will last but they are beautiful out of the box. The scissors are just run of the mill shears but everything else is really nice.. Mark. Mon Jun 21 2021
