Detail
Summary
Named after the Japanese word for "illumination," the masterfully crafted, award-winning knives in this collection are distinguished by stunning birch PakkaWood handles and "hornet's nest" blade patterns. Extraordinarily sharp with a long-lasting edge, each blade has microserrations that reduce friction for clean, effortless slices that enhance the flavor of ingredients. This essential Hikari set includes a honing steel, kitchen shears and a birch block to showcase and grow your collection.
- Shares same award-winning construction as Hikari chef's knife – named 2016's Kitchen Knife of the Year at the renowned BLADE show.
- Dual-core stainless steel blades are clad with 71 alternating micro layers of high-carbon, high-chromium stainless steel to create "hornet's nest" pattern reminiscent of Damascus-style blade.

- Polished bolsters promote comfortable chef's grip.
- Durable birch PakkaWood handles resist moisture and bacteria, and feature low-gloss finish.

Use & Care
Use
- Always use caution when handling sharp objects.
- Avoid cutting on hard surfaces such as stone, metal and glass.
- It is not advisable to use any knife but a meat cleaver to cut through bone, as other blades can be easily damaged.
Care
- Hand-wash with warm water and mild detergent; rinse and dry immediately.
- Avoid cleaners containing bleach and citrus extracts.
- Sharpen as needed. With regular use and honing once a week, knives should not need sharpening more than once or twice a year.
- Sharpen knives at home using whetstone or knife sharpener designed to sharpen at a 16-degree angle, or have them sharpened by a professional.
- Store knives in safe place to protect edges and prevent injury.
