Cuisine::pro's Damashiro knives feature stunning Damascus-style patterned blades suggestive of flowing water and handles inspired by Japanese samurai swords. Made of ice-hardened Japanese steel, the blades are tough, shatter-resistant and honed by traditional methods to a fine, razor-sharp, edge. With perfectly balanced hollow handles, the three santoku knives have broad blades and low tips for precise control. Use them to prepare meats, fruits and vegetables with speed and accuracy. Recessed scallops along the blades help to reduce friction and release cut foods. This versatile chef-worthy set—5-inch santoku knife, 6.5-inch cleaver and 6.5-inch santoku knife—covers every essential cutting technique.
