Unique features and specifications

• Santoku knife 18 cm: For many home cooks, this is the knife taken from the drawer most often. Slicing vegetables, chopping herbs, portioning meat, and processing fish. Large enough for substantial ingredients, precise enough for fine work.
  
• Less sticking: The Santoku knife has a hammered finish. This makes it less likely for slices of potato or cucumber to stick to the blade.
  
• Nakiri knife 18 cm: Specifically for vegetables. Dicing an onion, chopping herbs, julienning, or prepping a large heap of vegetables: the straight edge makes it fast and neat.
  
• High blade of the Nakiri: Provides extra control during cutting. And you can easily scoop your chopped vegetables from the cutting board into the pan with it.
  
• Bread knife 20 cm: The serrated blade goes smoothly through a crispy crust without crushing the soft interior. Ideal for baguettes and sourdough, but also handy for hard vegetables and firm fruit.
  
• Paring knife 8 cm: Compact and precise. Ideal for peeling potatoes and fruit, removing seeds, and other small cutting tasks where a large knife is cumbersome.
  
• High carbon steel, 60 HRC: Hard steel that stays sharp for a long time. You cut with less force and maintain more control.
  
• Sharpening angle of 15°: A sharp cutting angle, so the knives glide smoothly through your ingredients.
  
• Damascus print: The pattern is a print on the blade, inspired by traditional Damascus steel. It gives all four knives the same recognizable Akari look.
  
• Pakkawood handle: Ergonomically shaped and pleasant in the hand. It remains comfortable even during longer cutting tasks.
  
• Good balance: The knives feel stable and offer controlled cutting, even if you are cutting for an entire afternoon.
  
• Safe construction: For the Nakiri knife, bread knife, and paring knife, the bolster provides a clear transition between the handle and the blade. This keeps your fingers where they belong.
  
• For left- and right-handed users: The Santoku knife and Nakiri knife work well, whichever hand you use.
  
• Warranty: 5-year warranty against material and manufacturing defects.

Use & maintenance
A good knife requires a little attention. If you provide it, you will enjoy it for years to come.

• Wash the knives by hand in warm water with a little dish soap.
  
• Dry them thoroughly immediately after washing.
  
• Do not put in the dishwasher. This is bad for the steel and the finish.
  
• Keep the Santoku knife, Nakiri knife, and paring knife sharp with a sharpening stone or honing steel. Regular honing works better than occasional heavy sharpening.
  
• The serrated bread knife requires less frequent sharpening, but a little maintenance will keep this knife sharp for longer too.
  
• Cut on a wooden cutting board. Avoid glass, marble, and stone, as these will quickly dull the edge.
  
• Store the knives in a knife block, on a magnetic strip, or in the original gift box. Storing them loose in a drawer will dull the blade.
