Japanese Damascus Shinku 2-Piece Performance Set – 7.5-Inch (19 cm) & 7.9-Inch (20 cm) Precision Blades

The Shinku 2-Piece Performance Set is ideal for established kitchen professionals and those aspiring to become one. Each blade supports clean slicing, smooth chopping, and refined handling across vegetables, meat, and fish, making it a reliable choice for daily culinary tasks.

The blades measure 19 cm (7.5 in) for the Cleaver and 20 cm (7.9 in) for the Chef Knife. Each knife features 67 layers of Damascus steel surrounding a VG-10 core. Flat grinding on both sides ensures controlled, even cutting, while the uncoated surfaces allow direct contact with ingredients for natural feedback. Grinding angles of 8° provide precise cuts and support left- and right-handed users.

With total lengths corresponding to blade and handle combination, each knife feels balanced and composed in hand. Handles range from 10.5–12.5 cm and are made from colored resin with selected maple root wood, offering secure, ergonomic grips for fatigue-free handling.

This set reflects quiet precision, durability, and long-term usability through disciplined construction. Personalized engraving is available for names or initials, with each engraved order delivered in a complimentary gift box.
