Kaito Connoisseur Knife Set

The three knives in the Kaito collection, accompanied by two accessories that make a difference every day. A chef’s knife for larger cuts, a Santoku for everything else and a paring knife for fine work, all with hand-polished pakkawood handles and hammered 10CR15CoMoV steel hardened to 60 HRC. The honing steel maintains the edge between sharpenings, while the finger guard guides the blade and protects your hand. Everything you need to equip your kitchen in one set.

What’s in the set

• 1 Kaito chef’s knife (200 g) : the ultimate all-rounder. Meat, fish, vegetables, herbs, fruit — it does it all.

• 1 Kaito Santoku knife (191 g) : a wide blade and balanced shape for chopping, slicing and finely cutting, equally at home with crunchy vegetables and tender meat.

• 1 Kaito paring knife (86 g) : compact and nimble for peeling, trimming, coring and precise cutting.

• 1 honing steel : 20 cm stainless steel rod with an ergonomic handle. A few light strokes realign the edge and keep it sharp day after day.

• 1 finger guard in 304 stainless steel : 6.5 x 4.5 cm, adjustable ring, suitable for right- and left-handed users. It protects your fingers and acts as a guide for even julienne strips and brunoise dice.

Why choose the Kaito collection

Kaito blades are forged from 10CR15CoMoV stainless steel, a high-carbon steel enriched with cobalt and hardened to 60 HRC for a lasting edge. Hammering gives the blade its distinctive appearance and helps prevent food from sticking as you cut. The hand-polished pakkawood handle fits comfortably in the hand and resists kitchen moisture. Three knives, one standard: effortless, precise cutting.

Care

For everyday care, use a few light strokes on the honing steel to realign the edge. When cutting performance declines, sharpen with a whetstone, maintaining the original angle. Wash and dry the knives and accessories by hand immediately: the dishwasher damages the steel, the handle’s wood and the finger guard’s polished finish. Work on a wooden board and avoid bones, frozen foods and twisting motions.
