Home Niwaki | Niwaki Hamon Damascus Knife Set

These Incredible Knives, Forged In Sanjo, Up In Niigata In The North Of Japan (Famous, Amongst Other Things, For Heavy Winter Snow And Fantastically Fresh Fish) Incorporate Hand Forged Vg-10 Stainless Steel Hagane Blades, Laminated To A Beautiful Damascus Jigane, Creating A Highly Practical And Deeply Alluring Finish.

The Damascus Blade Is Balanced By The Grain Of The Octagonal Camphor Wood Handles (From The Enormous Cinnamomum Camphora Trees That Are Native To Japan And One Often Sees Growing Outside Shinto Shrines) And The Whole Set Of Three Knives Sits In A Paulownia Kiribako Box, Wrapped Within A White Cotton Raw-Edge Tenugui (Suggesting The Purity And Widsom Of The Shinto Gods).

Use The Short Petty For Peeling And Paring, The Square Ended Nakiri For Vegetables, And The Mighty Gyuto For Pretty Much Everything.
