Professional Cutlery Set for Precision Cooking
This four-piece Senshi Series set pairs an 8-inch chef knife with an 8-inch Nakiri vegetable cleaver, both forged from Japanese AUS-8 stainless steel. The blades are nitrogen cooled and hand sharpened to a 14-degree angle per side using the traditional Honbazuke method. A Rockwell Hardness of 56 provides a balance of strength, flexibility and edge retention. The set suits home cooks and professionals who want high-carbon performance with corrosion resistance.
Edge Retention and Handle Durability in Daily Use
The AUS-8 steel contains added chromium for enhanced wear and corrosion resistance, while the nitrogen cooling process supports long-lasting sharpness. Full tang construction distributes force evenly through the military-grade G10 and carbon fibre handle, which is nearly impervious to heat, cold and moisture. Hand washing and drying are required to maintain the finish; the knives are not dishwasher safe.
Integration into a Kitchen Workflow
The seamless handle design prevents debris from entering the grip area, and ample knuckle clearance allows a comfortable pinch grip for controlled chopping. Blade guards are included for safe storage and transport. The set covers general slicing and dedicated vegetable preparation without needing additional specialised blades. Buyers who want serrated edges or a larger block set will need to look elsewhere.

Questions about this item
How do I keep the full-tang AUS-8 blades aligned when fitting the included blade guards?
Slide each guard straight onto the 8-inch blade from the tip toward the bolster; forcing it sideways bends the thin edge and ruins the 14-degree Honbazuke bevel.
What upkeep does the nitrogen-cooled AUS-8 steel with Rockwell 56 hardness require?
Hand-wash, dry immediately, and touch-up on a fine ceramic rod; the chromium-rich alloy resists corrosion but the 14-degree edge will dull before the steel pits.
At what point does the G10 carbon-fiber handle lose grip during a long prep session?
The military-grade composite is nearly impervious to heat, cold and moisture, so slippage only appears when oil or food residue builds up on the seamless surface.
