Sharpening set with double-sided 180/800 grit whetstone, anti-slip bamboo base, flattening stone and 15 degrees angle guide * 100% handmade * Ultra-sharp Japanese 440C high-carbon stainless steel * Hidden full tang * Ebony handle * HRC hardness: 60 +/-1 * Perfectly balanced * Stainless * Bamboo Saya (sheath or blade cover) included with each knife * Lifetime warranty Sharpened to a double bevel grind giving the edge an optimal angle of 15 ̊ per side (vs. 20-25 ̊ for most Western knives), Kotai knives perfectly balance extreme sharpness and blade solidity. Their 1.8 mm thin blades (1.5 for the paring knife) allow precise and sharp cuts, never crushing even the most delicate food to preserve their full flavor. Besides its aesthetic appeal, the “Tsuchime” (槌目) (hammered) pattern creates tiny pockets of air between the blade and the food being cut, preventing it to stick.
