Japan Select: Set Japanese Knives Global & Accessories Kai

Global cases, sets and knife blocks include a coordinated selection of knives and accessories designed to cover the main kitchen preparation tasks, from everyday cutting to more specific operations.

Cases are designed for transport and professional use, sets offer predefined knife combinations, while blocks provide stable storage and organisation in the kitchen.

They are ideal for professionals, advanced enthusiasts and anyone looking for a complete and coherent solution without selecting individual knives.

The choice depends on usage: cases for mobility, sets for versatility, and blocks for convenient and organised storage.

The seamless stainless steel design and the distinctive dimpled anti-slip handle, combined with thin, well-balanced blades.

Thinner geometries, sharper edge angles and an approach focused on precision and clean cutting.

They are ideal for those seeking lightness, manoeuvrability and precision, both in professional kitchens and advanced home use.

The santoku is compact and versatile for everyday use; the gyuto is closer to a classic chef’s knife and is ideal for long cuts and sustained work.

Hand washing, immediate drying and regular sharpening are recommended. Avoiding aggressive tools and unsuitable surfaces helps preserve the edge longer.

Yes, they often require more care: they are not suitable for bones, frozen foods or twisting, but offer superior cutting performance when used correctly.

A main knife (chef or gyuto), a paring knife and a serrated bread knife cover most kitchen needs.

Whetstone sharpening is ideal: a medium grit for maintenance and a finer grit for finishing, adapting the choice to the steel and usage.
