Consisting of a cutting board and santoku knife, this Cuisine::pro starter set lets you slice, dice, mince, and chop. The Damashiro knife features a stunning Damascus-style patterned blade suggestive of flowing water and a handle inspired by Japanese samurai swords. Made of ice-hardened Japanese steel, the blade is tough, shatter-resistant and honed by traditional methods to a fine, razor-sharp, edge. The broad blade and low tip offer precise control, and recessed scallops along the blade reduce friction and release cut foods. The bamboo board has a warm finish to bring out grain and a groove to collect flavorful juices.
