Between them, they cover everyday prep, from peeling fruit and cutting cheese and sausage to chopping vegetables, slicing meat and portioning fish. All three share hammered AUS-8 stainless steel blades and Pakka wood handles.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eBlade and steel\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach blade is made from a \u003cstrong\u003esingle layer of AUS-8 stainless steel\u003c\/strong\u003e, hardened to \u003cstrong\u003e58–59 HRC\u003c\/strong\u003e. That is a practical hardness for daily cooking: the edges hold up well to regular prep, and you can bring them back on a whetstone without much effort.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003ehammered finish\u003c\/strong\u003e gives the blades the lunar pattern of the Kaiju series, and the small dimples help food come away from the blades as you cut. Every knife has a polished \u003cstrong\u003edouble-bevel edge\u003c\/strong\u003e with an original factory bevel angle of 15–17°. Because the edges are ground on both sides, they are straightforward to keep in shape with a honing rod and a whetstone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHandle and balance\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eAll three knives have handles of dense \u003cstrong\u003ePakka wood\u003c\/strong\u003e in a classic shape. They resist moisture as well as odours. Together, the three knives have a net weight of 336 g.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eBest uses\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePeeling, trimming and slicing fruit and vegetables with the paring knife\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCutting cheese, sausage and bread with the utility knife\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSlicing smaller fruit and vegetables with the utility knife\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChopping vegetables and slicing boneless meat with the chef's knife\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCutting and portioning fish with the chef's knife\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's in the set\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eParing knife 78 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUtility knife 150 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChef's knife 209 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCare and sharpening\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eRinse the knives with hot water before first use, then wash them by hand with non-abrasive materials and wipe them dry; a dishwasher is not recommended, and the knives should not be left in the sink for long. Cut on wooden or plastic boards, never on glass, and leave meat with bones to a SAMURA cleaver and frozen food to a double-sided saw knife with a serrated blade. Use a honing rod between sharpenings and resharpen on a whetstone at the original factory bevel angle of 15–17°. Store the knives in a brush block or knife holder where the blades do not touch metal items.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAbout the Kaiju series\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/kaiju\"\u003eKaiju series\u003c\/a\u003e takes its name from the giant monsters of Japanese myth and pairs hammered, lunar-pattern blades with Pakka wood handles, in two lines with and without a bolster.
