The SENKEN Imperial Essentials 3-Piece Japanese Knife Set brings the precision and discipline of Japanese blademaking tradition to your kitchen, pairing high-carbon stainless steel blades with smoothly finished wood handles.

The collection includes the three knives you'll reach for most, giving you the right blade for chopping vegetables, slicing meats, and peeling fruit without a crowded countertop or a drawer full of rarely used blades.

The knives feature a 15° double-bevel edge, delivering the fine, precise cuts Japanese knives are known for, while high-carbon steel provides the hardness needed to take and hold a keen edge.

Each blade is etched with a traditional Damascus pattern, paying homage to a knifemaking tradition whose history stretches back over 1,000 years.

Contoured pakkawood handles provide a firm, comfortable grip, with rich wood tones that give Imperial its classic character. An integrated finger guard adds protection while you cut.

Imperial Essentials 3-Piece Set Includes:

  • 8" Chef Knife
  • 7" Santoku Knife
  • 3.5" Paring Knife

Start your kitchen with the Imperial Essentials, or give the 3-Piece Knife Set as a thoughtful gift for a first apartment, housewarming, or anyone who loves to cook.

Includes a luxury gift box for presentation and storage.
