Sakai no Kami Knife Set – Santoku & Nakiri

The Perfect Duo for Vegetables and Everyday Cooking

The Sakai no Kami 2-Piece Knife Set combines two Japanese classics designed for versatility and precision:

• Santoku 18 cm (7") – the all-purpose knife, perfect for meat, fish, and vegetables.

• Nakiri 17 cm (6.7") – the traditional Japanese vegetable knife, designed for clean and effortless chopping.

Hand-forged in Sakai, Japan, this set blends centuries of bladesmithing tradition with Otakimi’s modern artistry, making it ideal for those who value precision and balance in everyday cooking.

Damascus Blades – Beauty and Performance

Both knives are crafted with a Japanese AUS10 steel core, clad in 46 layers of Damascus steel, with a hardness of HRC 62.

• Razor-sharp edges that remain sharp longer.

• Distinctive Damascus wave patterns, symbolising strength and elegance.

• Double-bevel design, making them suitable for both left- and right-handed use.

From chopping vegetables to preparing proteins, these blades deliver effortless performance.

Stabilised Maple Burl Handles – Unique by Nature

The handles of both knives are made from Stabilised Maple Burl, dyed in deep emerald tones and reinforced with a blackwood collar (kakumaki).

• Shape: Octagonal, ambidextrous, for maximum comfort and control.

• Durability: Stabilised wood resists water, bacteria, and cracking.

• Uniqueness: Every Maple Burl handle has unique swirling patterns – no two knives are alike.

Premium Packaging – Box & Cutting Board

This set comes in a solid wooden box engraved with the Otakimi crest. More than just packaging, the box transforms into a durable cutting board, combining elegance with functionality.
