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

The Akari Damascus Print 5-piece set from Shinrai is the perfect addition to your kitchen. You get the five knives you need every day: chef's knife, bread knife, nakiri, small santoku, and paring knife. With 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 also simply works well. The blade features a Damascus print that resembles the pattern of traditional Damascus steel. The handle is made of light pakkawood, ergonomically shaped and comfortable for any cutting task. Each knife has a bolster between the blade and handle, providing 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 the one.
  
• Bread knife (20 cm): The serrated blade goes through a hard crust without crushing the soft bread. You can also easily cut hard vegetables and firm fruit with it.
  
• Nakiri knife (18 cm): The vegetable knife. Thanks to the wide, high blade, you can finely chop vegetables, mince them, and cut them into thin strips. Use the flat side to scoop your ingredients off the board.
  
• Small santoku knife (13 cm): Compact and light, with a high blade that provides extra control. Handy for finely chopping, mincing, and slicing vegetables, meat, and fish, especially for smaller ingredients and precise work. Because of its low weight, you can work comfortably for longer without your wrist getting tired.
  
• Paring knife (8 cm): Small and agile, for precision work. Use it to peel potatoes, fruit, and vegetables, remove seeds, and finely cut small ingredients.

A wonderful gift
A complete set that you use every day. Ideal as a gift for someone who loves to cook, or as an upgrade for your own kitchen.

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

• Hand wash only: Use mild soap and warm water. Dry the knives immediately afterward so that no spots form.
  
• Never in the dishwasher: The aggressive program and hot water are bad for the blade, the Damascus print, and the wooden handle. The knife will become blunt faster and the print can wear off.
  
• Sharpen regularly: Use a whetstone or honing steel. This keeps the edge sharp, makes cutting safer (a blunt knife is more likely to slip), and makes the knife last longer.
  
• The bread knife requires less frequent sharpening: A serrated blade stays sharp longer, but still keep it well-maintained.
  
• Store your knives safely: Use a knife block, a magnetic strip, or a protective sheath. This prevents the cutting edge from being damaged by other knives in the drawer and keeps them within easy reach.
  
• 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.
