Prefer a lighter, more agile knife for precise slicing? This 4-piece Japanese-style set uses round wa handles and black horn ferrules paired with layered steel blades, built for control and everyday prep.

Japanese-style knives are prized for their light, agile feel, and this set brings that design into four sizes suited for different kitchen tasks, from the larger santoku down to a compact paring knife.

A Handle Shape Built For Control

The round wa handle style is designed for a relaxed, precise grip, making it easier to guide the blade through detailed slicing tasks.

Horn Ferrules For A Traditional Finish

The black horn ferrules add a traditional Japanese-style detail at the transition between handle and blade.

Hidden Tang Construction

Each knife uses hidden tang construction, keeping the set lightweight without sacrificing the strength of the layered steel blade.

If you want to add a larger all-purpose blade to this set, our gyuto chef knife offers a Japanese profile gyuto with a similar refined build.
