Included in this set are the following knives :
The Gyuto is the Japanese equivalent to a standard western style chef's knife and is an essential for the professional cook/chef. It is without question the most versatile knife available and can handle a wide variety of tasks. If you're a home cook they are a great option as well provided you are comfortable with the length.
The petty is the Japanese equivalent of the western style paring knife. They're usually a little longer and I could never go back after using one. The idea is all the on board work is done wit your gyuto or chef knife and everything in hand is done wit the petty. Not limited to capping strawberries, peeling, turning, or coring veggies, and smaller butchery tasks like chicken, small fish, or deboning a pork shoulder.
The word santoku translates to "three virtues" which refers to slicing, dicing and chopping or meat, fish and vegetables depending on who you talk to. Basically the name implies the extreme versatility of the knife which is what has made this style of knife the most popular shape in Japanese home kitchens today. It is slightly shorter than your average western style chef's knife which makes it feel a bit less intimidating for the average home cook while still remaining capable and versatile, great for anyone looking for that one go-to knife. Great for professionals who are limited in terms of space or who just want something a little bit more nimble and compact that a standard Gyuto (Chef's Knife)
ZA-18 is a fantastic steel created by Osaka Clad co and Aichi Steel corp that is arguably a step up from VG-10. With additional carbon, chromium, molybdenum and cobalt it's harder, more durable and more rust resistant than its predecessor VG-10, which itself is a great steel for knife making.
Tsunehisa seeks to make great knives at affordable prices and while they aren't completely handmade (They are maching forged), many of the knife making processes are done by hand giving it the fantastic fit & finish, high performance, and fantastic consistency. These knives are fantastic for the home cook or the professional looking for fantastic performance, easy maintenance and beautiful aesthetics.
