Kamikoto - Kanpeki Knife Set + Whetstone
Well, you might consider this an “overclocked” set of knives. See, the Kamikoto 神箏 company is heir to a thousand-year history of amazing knife making craftsmanship that made Japanese blades famous throughout the world.
Bladesmithing took off in the Niigata 新潟市 prefecture on Honshu over 800 years ago. Smiths used the unique local iron ore and kajigo – a fine, granular, coal native to the Niigata to develop high carbon steel alloys while the Europeans were still trying to figure out how to put an edge on oak. <g> The metal industry in the Niigata prefecture matured to cater to the long-blade demand from Tokyo and surrounding regions. Today. there is less demand for blades to cut an opponent in half or behead him with a snap of the wrist. So, the knives of Kamikoto 神箏 are still hand made by factory artisans in Japan and deliver the perfect balance of strength, sharpness and aesthetic beauty.
The Kanpeki (Perfect) Knife Set includes one 7 inch knife, an 8.5 slicing knife, and one 5 inch utility knife to tackle the smaller, more intricate chores in the kitchen. Each knife is precision balanced and weighted for optimal form and long-lasting performance.
Each of the three knives is taper ground on one side and hollow ground on the other. This helps to achieve paper thin slicing with full release of sliced foods. The handles is supported by a full tang. The shape of the handle and the exquisite balance of the blade makes Kami knives highly controllable; they go where you expect them to go.
Handle and blade are both satin finished to a subtle luster. The Kamikoto 神箏 Kanpeki Knife Set is presented in a natural-colored ash wood box for safe storage and keeping.
This set includes a double sided whetstone. One side is a rougher prep grit to sharpen and deburr the cutting edge. The second side is ultra-fine, to hone and give your blade a finish polish.
Taken all together, the Kampeki knife set and whetstone provide a high quality and systematic solution to cutting chores in the kitchen of a serious home or professional chef. A gift sure to be appreciated and a tool used every day for years to come. The set includes the knoves, a Certificate of Authenticity, a storage case and the dual sided whetstone. Total retail is about $400. The set is unopened and BNIB. Shipping is included.
