This set brings together three essentials that reflect ZAKU’s balance of performance, protection, and thoughtful design. Each piece is crafted to support not only your cooking, but also the preservation of the story behind your knives.
MATERIAL
Ginsan
A stainless steel closely resembles carbon steel, with higher carbon than typical stainless and more chromium than carbon, making it a popular choice among chefs.
HANDLE TYPE
Japanese
The lightweight structure and center of gravity positioned close to the blade make it ideal for delicate operations and quick reversals. Wood-based designs that fit comfortably in the hand are mainstream.
HANDLE MATERIAL
Hinoki
Lightweight and comfortable, its Hinoki wood handle offers a natural grip and subtle fragrance, grounding the knife in both tradition and comfort.
BLADE TYPE
Santoku
Santoku is a versatile Japanese kitchen knife, named for its “three virtues” of cutting meat, fish, and vegetables, with a shorter, straighter blade ideal for precise chopping and slicing.
FINISH
Migaki
Migaki (polished) knives are finished with a higher grit, creating a smoother surface that allows the blade to glide more easily through food.

Dry thoroughly
After each use, wash the knives promptly and dry it thoroughly to bid farewell to any lingering moisture.
