  • NAKIRI (Vegetable Knife): Fast, precise veggie chopping

Key Features

  • Blue Steel core + VG‑10 stainless cladding
    Blue steel is known for its superior sharpness, but its high carbon content makes it more vulnerable to rust. By cladding it with stainless VG-10, the blade gains corrosion resistance while maintaining the cutting precision of blue steel—a refined fusion of performance and resilience.

  • Sculpted Ebony Wood Handles
    Smooth, durable, and moisture-resistant. The dense ebony wood handles are hand-shaped for a natural grip, offering comfort and elegance with every use.

  • Slim Blade Geometry (2mm Thickness)
    Thin blades reduce drag and enhance cutting control—allowing for smooth, clean cuts with less effort.

 

Blade Material: Blue Steel core + VG‑10 stainless cladding
Blade Hardness: ~61–63 HRC
Blade Type: Gyuto + Nakiri
Blade Length: Gyuto ~190mm, Nakiri ~180mm
Blade Thickness: ~2.0 mm
Handle: Ebony Wood (~135mm)

Follow these simple guidelines to keep your knives sharp, beautiful, and performing their best:

🔪 Proper Usage:
Always use a wooden or plastic cutting board—avoid hard surfaces like glass, marble, or metal.

Choose appropriate knives for specific tasks (vegetable knives for veggies, chef knives for general cutting, etc.).

Avoid cutting frozen or overly hard items that can damage the blade.

🚿 Cleaning:
Hand wash immediately after each use with mild soap and warm water.

Avoid the dishwasher, as high temperatures and harsh detergents can harm your knife’s blade and handle.

💧 Drying & Storage:
Dry thoroughly with a clean towel immediately after washing to prevent rust and stains.

Store knives safely in a wooden block, magnetic knife holder, or protective sheath to maintain sharpness and safety.

🛠️ Sharpening & Maintenance:
Regularly hone your knives using a ceramic honing rod to maintain edge sharpness.

Professional sharpening is recommended 1–2 times per year, depending on usage.

Occasionally apply food-safe mineral oil on wooden handles to maintain their natural beauty and durability.

⚠️ Safety Precautions:
Always handle knives carefully and attentively.

Keep knives out of reach of children.

Follow these tips to preserve your knives’ quality, ensuring lasting sharpness, beauty, and optimal cooking performance! 🌟

Customer photo review of Kiritsuke Knife - Damascus 2 Red Ebony Wood Handle

This Kasumi Knives are good quality, yet it is not that pricy. I had some Nigara knives that bought previously but its not for everyone, if you love cooking at home or at work, Grab a set of Kasumi. they are balance and sharp edge. the secret is how you keep and use it.

Customer photo review of Petty Blue Steel Ebony Wood Handle 140mm/5.5in

I received the knife, it was well packaged and protected. There is just one small problem it was not at its maximum cutting but a little sharpening and it cuts like a razor blade

Super sharp, great feel in the hands and so attractive to look at. The chef’s knife is like using a piece of art as a tool.

Customer video review of Japanese Double-sided Whetstone Include Non-slip Base

These knives are awesome! They feel good in your hand. They don’t come really sharpened but the idea is to have the fun of doing it yourself. I have also ordered the stone. Cannot wait to sharpen my knives and cook!

Customer video review of Bunka VG-10 Ebony Wood Handle

Well I love the knife and I'm waiting for my free one to be shipped to me. I'm even featured in a few of your commercials with some voice over on other videos. I plan on making more videos in the future as I buy more knives in the future from you guys. The knife with razor sharp out of the box I put it to a strop and made it even sharper hair whittling. I plan on using it in my kitchen at work and talking to the owners about making possible videos there as well. You're the first company I decided to buy an actual Japanese knife from and I regret that I waited this long the knife is awesome

Customer photo review of Gyuto Blue Steel Ebony Wood Handle

Nice knife. Had to run it over a steel when it arrived (it was a little dull) but it cuts sweetly! I don’t know if this is a true Japanese knife but for the $170 I paid for it it is well worth the price!

Customer photo review of Bunka Knife – Red Ebony VG-10 Series

Ordering from this company it was super easy and I live in the UK and the turnaround delivery time was really not that long. For the money these nights are really good super sharp and very beautiful. But I would definitely recommend this company to everybody who wants some quality knives.

Customer photo review of Essential Japanese Knife Set – Blue Steel Blades, Ebony Wood Handles (Santoku, Nakiri, Petty)

Knives are great. I haven't had a chance to put them on the stones yet, which they definitely need (out-of-the-box edge was definitely leaving something to be desired), but I have been having fun, especially with the nakiri since it is something I have been lacking in my culinary bag. Aside from the out-of-the-box edge, the only thing keeping me from giving these knives 5 stars is that the handles have some inconsistencies around the decorative inlay. Probably nothing a little sanding couldn't have fixed at the factory before finishing the wood. These aren't the nicest knives in my bag, but they are up there and will be used frequently.

Customer photo review of 5‑Piece VG-10 Ultimate Home Cook Bundle | Japanese Knife Set (Gyuto, Nakiri, Petty, Santoku, Bunka)

I love the knives! I ordered them to give as Christmas gifts, and everyone loved them. I did have a minor issue when they arrived; two of the knives were damaged. I sent a message to customer support, and I was surprised by how quick and professional they were. They responded quickly and offered to send me replacement knives for the two damaged ones... That's why I'm giving them 5 stars.
