Masterfully forged from professional-grade High-Carbon Steel, the Shinano Collection features individually forged kitchen knives that are built to last so that you never need another kitchen knife set again.

The knives are etched with a traditional Damascus pattern, paying homage to a style of knife-making whose history stretches back over 1000 years.

High-Carbon Steel, which was once the metal of choice of Japanese swordsmiths, has been exploding in popularity due to its added hardiness and sharpness, to such a degree that high-carbon steel has become the premier choice of many professional chefs.

Each Shinano knife is carefully heat-treated and sharpened to perfection for razor-sharp cutting and extreme durability. The knives are etched with a traditional Damascus pattern, paying homage to a style of knife-making whose history stretches back over 1000 years.

The knives boast a 15° edge for superior cutting, as compared to a typical 20-25° edge found in most Western knives. You WILL feel the difference from the very first cut.

    This knife has met all my expectations. It’s sharp, well-made, and makes cooking more efficient and enjoyable.
