The Japanese multi purpose knife. Ideal for a home cook. Santoku means “three virtues” therefore it can be used on meats, fish and vegetables. Kobe is a centre of excellence for Japanese knife production. This range is a superb example of the knife maker’s art. Twenty layers of carbon steel surround a cutting core of white carbon steel No.2 creating a fantastic double bevelled knife. These knives have a traditional magnolia wood handle combined with a black pakka wood ferrule. Rockwell hardness 60-61. Important information; Carbon steel knives will oxidise and discolour. This is not a fault, it is a nature of the material. They must be dried after use and traditionally they are treated after use with camellia oil which inhibits the oxidation process. If the fact that carbon steel requires a little bit more maintenance is of concern then a laminated or folded steel knife should be considered. You can purchase rust erasers to clean the blades.

All Kin Knives come with a lifetime guarantee as long as they are treated correctly in accordance with our care instructions.

Kin Knives = Japanese steel. Made in Japan. 🇯🇵

There are numerous counterfeit Japanese knives on the market. Companies that squeeze through the advertising standards authority somehow and it is the most frustrating thing in the world!!! These companies that are piggy-backing off the Japanese craftsmanship reputation and producing mass produced cr*p knives. 

If you want authentic Japanese knives DON’T BE FOOLED by “Japanese style” and “Japanese knife sets; inspired by Japanese craftsmanship” - these knives will most likely be made from standard stainless steel or sneakily made from Japanese steel but the knives are mass produced in China, Taiwan, Lithuania… 🤬 

Rant over. Be wise. Buy authentic.

The fingerprints on this cabinet seem to be ten times worse than the sticky ones my 4 year old daughter makes at home! It looks lovely but those damn fingerprints….! 🤬
