Tosa Honoo Knife Set – Gyuto, Santoku & Petty

The Perfect Trio of Versatility

The Tosa Honoo 3-Piece Knife Set unites three of the most versatile Japanese knives:

• Gyuto 21 cm (8.5") – the classic chef’s knife for meat, fish, and vegetables.

• Santoku 18 cm (7") – the “three virtues” knife, perfect for slicing, chopping, and dicing.

• Petty 13 cm (5") – the compact utility knife for fruits, herbs, and delicate cuts.

Hand-forged in Tosa, Japan, these knives embody the flame (Honoo) of the forge, with hammered Damascus steel and Otakimi’s premium craftsmanship.

Hammered Damascus Blades – VG10 Super Steel

Each knife is forged with a VG10 super steel core, clad in 67 layers of Damascus steel, with a hardness of HRC 61–62.

• Razor-sharp edges with long-lasting sharpness.

• Hammered tsuchime finish – reduces drag and prevents food from sticking.

• A perfect balance of toughness, durability, and corrosion resistance.

From large cuts to delicate garnishes, this set offers full versatility in the kitchen.
