Japanese Chef Knives

Raikou chef knives are machine-forged and hand-finished in Seki. This collection is three knives, not a full block.

  • Santoku: the everyday blade for meat, fish, and vegetables.
  • Bread knife: serrated, for crusty loaves without crushing the crumb.
  • Steak set: a matched pair for the table.

We do not list a Gyuto or a Damascus line here. If you want a board that is kind to a hard edge, the hinoki and cedar boards sit on their own page.

Hand wash, dry immediately, sharpen on a stone. Do not put these in the dishwasher.
