Gesshin Stainless 120mm Petty

We are very excited to bring you knives from Ashi Hamono. Ashi Hamono produces their knives entirely in-house. From the blade to the handle, they do it all. Their knives are very well finished, beautiful to look at, and have very good geometry. When you hold these knives in your hand, you can really see and feel the attention to detail that Ashi gives to every knife.

Ashi refers to this set as the “With Mother” set. They designed these knives to be very unintimidating and easy to use. Ashi hopes to encourage families to cook together in the home and hopes that this set will inspire people to do so. The 130mm and 170mm sized knives are very comfortable sizes for many home cooks. The shape of the blade is similar to the santoku knives that have become so popular recently. This set can be great for home cooks looking for easy to use and unintimidating knives, or for pros looking for a few comfortable line knives for cramped quarters. Don’t let the name of the set throw you off… these are high-performance knives for home cooks and pros alike. These knives are hardened to 58 HRC.

For many years we've had customers ask us about carving sets.  Especially around Thanksgiving, it seems everyone is looking for a set like this.  We've always looked around during our annual trips to Japan, but the concept of a carving set is not such a big part of Japanese culture.  This year, we finally found a few sets while visiting Seki.  Of course, we immediately picked them up and brought them back before the holidays.  The set includes a stainless carving knife and a carving fork.  They have a sleek and stylish curved design and come very sharp and ready to go (we are sharpening them before they leave the store). We hope you enjoy this set.

This knife set features four VG10 stainless damascus steak knives. The handles are made of a laminate wood composite and have an accentuated curvature which makes them fit well in hands of all sizes. These are beautiful knives and are a stylish way to add to your kitchen cutlery collection.

The Gesshin Stainless series was created in response to a need for high quality, affordable Japanese knives. From line cooks to home chefs interested in getting into the world of Japanese knives, this series is for you.  It is easy to sharpen, takes a great edge, has good edge retention (significantly better than most German, Swiss, or French knives), and is easy to care for. These knives are right hand biased out of the box, but can be adjusted to suit your needs. If you are a left-handed user, please let us know so we can modify this to better suit your needs.
