Sakai Ryujin blades are prized by professional chefs and home cooks alike for their exceptional balance, traditional craftsmanship, and long-lasting edge retention. This set covers the three core disciplines of the Japanese kitchen - the all-purpose santoku, the fish-butchering deba, and the sashimi-slicing yanagiba - plus a sharpening stone to keep every edge performing at its peak. Acquiring all four pieces together in original packaging is exceptionally rare.
