Unique features and specifications

• Chef's knife 20 cm: Your all-rounder. Cutting vegetables, portioning meat, processing fish, or mincing herbs. This is the knife you will reach for every single day.
  
• Nakiri knife 18 cm: Specifically for vegetables. Minced onions, chopped herbs, julienne cuts, or preparing a large pile of vegetables: the straight edge makes it fast and neat.
  
• High blade of the nakiri: Provides extra control while cutting. And you can easily scoop your chopped vegetables from the cutting board into the pan.
  
• Bread knife 20 cm: The serrated blade glides smoothly through a crispy crust without flattening the soft interior. Ideal for baguettes and sourdough, but also useful for hard vegetables and firm fruit.
  
• Paring knife 8 cm: Compact and precise. Ideal for peeling potatoes and fruit, removing seeds, and other small cutting jobs where a large knife is unwieldy.
  
• High carbon steel, 60 HRC: Hard steel that stays sharp for a long time. You cut with less effort and maintain more control.
  
• Sharpening angle of 15°: A sharp cutting angle, meaning the knives glide smoothly through your ingredients.
  
• Damascus print: The pattern is a print on the blade, inspired by traditional Damascus steel. It gives all four knives the same recognizable Akari look.
  
• Pakkawood handle: Ergonomically shaped and pleasant in the hand. It remains comfortable even during longer cutting sessions.
  
• Good balance: The knives feel stable and cut with control, even if you are cutting for an entire afternoon.
  
• Safe construction: The bolster provides a clear transition between the handle and the blade. This keeps your fingers where they belong.
  
• For left- and right-handed users: The chef's knife and nakiri knife work well, regardless of which hand you use.
  
• Warranty: 5-year warranty on material and manufacturing defects.

Use & maintenance
A good knife requires a little attention. If you provide that, you will enjoy it for years to come.

• Wash the knives by hand in warm water with a little dish soap.
• Dry them thoroughly immediately after washing.
• Do not put them in the dishwasher. This is bad for the steel and the finish.
• Keep the chef's knife, nakiri knife, and paring knife sharp with a whetstone or honing steel. Regular honing works better than occasional heavy sharpening.
• The serrated bread knife requires less frequent sharpening, but a little maintenance will keep this knife sharp longer too.
• Cut on a wooden cutting board. Avoid glass, marble, and stone, as these quickly dull the edge.
• Store the knives in a knife block, on a magnetic strip, or in the original gift box. Storing them loose in a drawer compromises their sharpness.
