Advanced sets
Advanced sets: four or five knives
The Advanced sets go a step further than the Starter sets: a bread knife and a paring knife join the santoku and utility knife. That equips you equally well for bread, vegetables, meat and fine work.
The sets
- 4-piece Advanced set ORIBU: santoku, utility, bread and paring knife of 73-layer damascus powder steel with olive wood handles.
- 4-piece Advanced set KAYA: santoku, utility, bread and paring knife of 67-layer damascus steel with olive wood and buffalo horn handles.
- 5-piece Advanced set DAIKI: santoku, chef's, utility, paring and bread knife with AUS-10 core and walnut handles.
Care and storage
Damascus knives don't belong in the dishwasher. After cutting, rinse the blade briefly with warm water and a little washing-up liquid and dry it straight away with a cloth. Cut on wooden or plastic boards: glass, stone and ceramic quickly dull any edge.
Store the knife so that the edge touches nothing: on a magnetic knife strip, in a knife block or with a blade guard. For resharpening, a fine-grit whetstone works well, and wooden handles appreciate an occasional drop of camellia oil.
Frequently asked questions about Advanced sets
What's the difference from the Professional set?
The Professional set contains six knives, adding a chef's knife and a nakiri knife. The Advanced set is the more compact choice for most households.
Do I need a bread knife?
If you regularly cut crusty bread, yes. A bread knife cuts the crust without squashing the crumb.
What's extra in the DAIKI set?
As well as the santoku, utility, bread and paring knife, the 5-piece Advanced set DAIKI also includes the chef's knife.
