Japanese Knife Set Made in Japan 1528

Experience the Quiet Precision of Japanese Carbon Steel

A beautifully preserved vintage Japanese knife set - two knives, two purposes, one story. The longer blade handles slicing and general prep with ease, while the shorter utility knife takes care of detail work and paring. Both are carbon steel, both are made in Japan, and both carry the kind of honest craftsmanship that simply isn't found in modern mass-produced sets. One-of-a-kind, curated for the cook or collector who knows what they're looking at.

Two Knives, One Kitchen

The pairing of a mid-length chef knife with a compact utility knife is a classic Japanese kitchen combination - versatile enough to handle everything from breaking down vegetables to fine detail cuts. Carbon steel at 58 HRC takes a razor-keen edge and responds beautifully to a whetstone. The wood handles are warm and balanced in hand, shaped by decades of use. Whether you're adding to a collection or putting them back to work, this set delivers genuine Japanese craftsmanship at a fraction of the cost of new.

Care and Maintenance

• Hand wash only - never dishwasher
• Dry immediately after washing to prevent rust
• Apply a light coat of camellia or food-safe mineral oil periodically
• Sharpen on a whetstone - carbon steel responds exceptionally well
• Store on a magnetic strip or in a knife roll - avoid loose drawers
