Inspired by a thousand years of craftsmanship Kamikoto 神箏 has crafted the Kamikoto Kensei Knife Set – a celebration of Japan’s legendary craftsmanship in blades. Forged using high-grade steel from Honshu 本州 Japan, this pair of versatile knives perform a range of skilled tasks. The set includes a Kiritsuke knife and a Honesuki boning knife, forged and tested to the meticulous standards of Kamikoto 神箏. The single bevel Kiritsuke knife is ideal for slicing fish or for deft work with vegetables. Weighted and balanced for optimal handling it is light yet substantial, and robust yet razor sharp. The Honesuki boning knife is perfect for de-boning poultry, and is adept for other purposes such as filleting. It is thin, light and nimble, with a reverse tanto tip allowing for easy piercing and precise cuts. Each individual set comes in an ash wood box for storage and safekeeping, complete with an individually signed certificate of authenticity.
