The Satake Kuro knife set includes the santoku & petty knives, making a brilliant assortment of elegant and practical general-use knives. Kuro series knives are crafted from handmade and roughly forged VG-10 steel, making both the santoku and petty blades sharp and well-balanced. The santoku has a slightly higher and longer blade while the petty boasts a shorter and lower one. Together the knives are highly versatile, ready for any and all tasks, slicing and dicing meat and vegetables with the best of them. The knives come in a beautiful wooden box, which makes for a great storage container. A wonderful gift for a friend or loved one.
