{"product_id":"shinju-series-kitchen-knife-set","title":"Shinju Series Kitchen Knife Set","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Shinju Series is a matched collection drawn from a single forge, so every knife you choose shares the same steel, the same finish and the same hand feel at the board. Each blade runs a stainless steel cutting core jacketed in layers of suminagashi Damascus, hardened for edge retention for a long-holding edge with the resilience to take daily kitchen work. The bold swirl of the Damascus pattern reads consistently across the whole range, and every handle is finished in genuine abalone shell on a Western profile that sits squarely in the hand. Build your set around the work you actually do: the Gyuto as the all-day chef's knife for proteins and mise en place, the Kiritsuke as a chef's knife and slicer in one with a K-tip ground for precise tip work, the Santoku as the quick, nimble all-rounder across meat, fish and vegetable, the Nakiri as the vegetable specialist with a tall flat edge that drops straight through onions and squash, and the Cleaver as a tall vegetable blade that powers through squash, root vegetables and other dense produce. Choose the pieces you reach for most and add to the collection over time, knowing each new blade matches the rest exactly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eMatched from one forge: every knife in the set shares identical steel, Damascus finish and handle construction, so the collection stays consistent however you build it\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003estainless steel cutting core jacketed in suminagashi Damascus, hardened for edge retention for a sharp, long-holding edge with everyday durability\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eBold-swirl suminagashi Damascus blade finish runs the same across the full range for a uniform look on the magnetic strip or in the block\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eGenuine abalone shell Western handles throughout, balanced for controlled, repeatable cuts through long prep sessions\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eEach knife is built for a distinct role: Gyuto for daily chef work, Kiritsuke for chef-and-slicer precision, Santoku for fast all-round cuts, Nakiri for vegetables, Cleaver for heavy vegetable work\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eBuild your set to suit your kitchen and add matching pieces later, with every new blade an exact match to the ones you already own\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuild your set: choose the Gyuto, Kiritsuke, Santoku, Nakiri and Cleaver in any combination, each one a matched piece from the same Shinju forge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBacked by our warranty against manufacturing defects and 30-day returns.
