Yamato  大和川 Damascus Steel Knife Set

Shimeru presents the Yamato 大和川 Damascus Steel Knife Set, a collection that embodies the pinnacle of Japanese craftsmanship and precision. Hand-forged by a Master Blacksmith, this set combines 67 layers of finely crafted Damascus steel with luxurious sandalwood handles, offering a premium feel and unrivaled functionality in your kitchen.

Exquisite Craftsmanship: Each knife begins its journey under the strike of a belt hammer, followed by an engineering hammer used on an anvil to straighten and realign the blade, ensuring a flawless structure free from imperfections. This meticulous process culminates in a final quenching, resulting in an extraordinary hardness of 62:64 HRC. The blades are crafted to deliver the precision of a surgeon’s scalpel, with ultra-thin, light constructions that slice effortlessly while being easy to re-sharpen.

Luxurious and Functional Handles: The handles are skillfully crafted from sandalwood, known for its beauty and durability. This material not only complements the intricate Damascus steel patterns but also ensures a comfortable grip, promising finesse and control in every cut.

Complete Culinary Collection: The Yamato Knife Set offers a comprehensive range of tools to meet all your culinary needs:

  • Yamato 6″ Filleting/Boning Knife 骨抜きナイフ: Perfect for precise cuts and filleting tasks.
  • Yamato 5″ Petty Knife ペティナイフ: Ideal for intricate work and detail-oriented tasks.
  • Yamato 7.5″ Deba Knife 出刃包丁: Excellent for butchering and fish preparation.
  • Yamato 7″ Santoku Knife 三徳包丁: A versatile tool for all-purpose kitchen tasks.
  • Yamato 7″ Nakiri Knife 菜切り包丁: Optimized for vegetable preparation, offering clean, precise cuts.
  • Yamato 8″ Gyuto Knife 牛刀: A chef’s essential, suitable for a variety of slicing and chopping tasks.
  • Yamato 7.5″ Kiritsuke Knife 切り付け包丁: Combines the features of a chef’s knife and a slicer, ideal for various cutting techniques.

Care and Maintenance: Crafted from traditional carbon steel, each blade must be washed, dried, and oiled immediately after use to prevent excessive oxidation, ensuring the longevity and performance of your investment.

Elevate your culinary experience with the Yamato 大和川 Damascus Steel Knife Set, a testament to the legacy of masterful Japanese craftsmanship, offering unmatched performance and aesthetic elegance in one luxurious package.
