Shinrai Knives - Akari Damascus Print 5-piece set - Chef's Knife + Bread Knife + Nakiri + Santoku + Paring Knife

The Akari Damascus Print 5-piece set by Shinrai is the perfect addition to your kitchen. You get the five knives you need every day: chef's knife, bread knife, nakiri, santoku, and paring knife. Featuring a Damascus look on the blade and a light pakkawood handle.

Akari Damascus Print Series
The Akari series is made for home cooks who love a beautiful knife that is also simply a pleasure to use. The blade has a Damascus print that resembles the pattern of traditional Damascus steel. The handle is made of light pakkawood, ergonomically shaped and comfortable for every cutting task. Each knife features a bolster between the blade and the handle, which provides extra control and safety while cutting.

What does each knife in the set do?

• Chef's knife (20 cm): Your all-rounder. Use it to cut meat, fish, and vegetables and to finely chop fresh herbs. If you only reach for one knife, this is usually it.
  
• Bread knife (20 cm): The serrated blade goes through a hard crust without crushing the soft bread. It also makes cutting hard vegetables and firm fruit easy.
  
• Santoku knife (18 cm): A light knife with a high blade, useful for slicing, chopping, and dicing vegetables, meat, and fish. The good balance gives you plenty of control, even for left-handed users.
  
• Nakiri knife (18 cm): The vegetable knife. With its wide, high blade, you can finely chop vegetables, mince them, and create thin strips. Use the flat side to scoop your ingredients right off the board.
  
• Paring knife (8 cm): Small and agile, for precision work. Use it to peel potatoes, fruit, and vegetables, remove seeds, and finely chop small ingredients.

Use & maintenance
Good knives only stay good if you treat them well. These are the points that make the difference:

• Wash by hand only: Use mild soap and warm water. Dry the knives immediately afterwards so that no spots form.
  
• Never put in the dishwasher: The aggressive program and hot water are bad for the blade, the Damascus print, and the wooden handle. The knife becomes blunt faster and the print can wear off.
  
• Sharpen regularly: Use a whetstone or honing rod. This keeps the edge sharp, makes cutting safer (a dull knife slips more easily), and makes the knife last longer.
  
• The bread knife needs less frequent sharpening: A serrated blade stays sharp longer, but keep it well-maintained.
  
• Store your knives safely: Use a knife block, a magnetic strip, or a protective cover. This prevents the cutting edge from being damaged by other knives in the drawer and ensures you always have them at hand.
  
• Cut on wood or plastic: A wooden or plastic cutting board is gentle on the blade, so the knife stays sharp longer. Do not cut on glass or marble.
