{"title":"Takumi - Damascus","description":"Matsuhira Takumi set - Damascus. Full set plus every individual blade.","products":[{"product_id":"takumi-series-kitchen-knife-set","title":"Takumi Series Kitchen Knife Set","description":"\u003cp\u003eBuild your own matched kitchen from a single forge. Every blade in the Takumi Series is cut from the same steel and finished by the same hand, so the knives you choose work as one set rather than a drawer of mismatched tools. Each one pairs a stainless steel cutting core with layers of suminagashi Damascus, hardened for edge retention for an edge that bites clean and holds it through real prep. The blades carry a tsuchime-hammered finish that breaks suction and helps food release off the steel. Handles are turned from dyed stabilized burl wood and resin and set behind a brass wa-style bolster for weight that sits forward in the hand. Choose the blades that match how you actually cook: the Gyuto as the daily chef's knife for proteins and mise en place; the Kiritsuke as a chef-slicer, its K-tip ground for precise tip work and long clean cuts; the Santoku as the quick all-rounder across meat, fish and vegetable; the Nakiri as the vegetable specialist, its tall flat edge falling straight through onions and squash; and the Petty for close, in-hand work on garlic, shallots and herbs.
