Minato (港) Knife Series is forged from ultra-premium, high-carbon, Japanese multi-layer steel with a beautiful rosewood handle.

Using Japanese steel the performance, hardness, and sharpness are unbelievable to experience along with a beautiful finish to the multi-layer blades and a gorgeous rosewood handle to truly complement the seamless finish.

Whether you are a professional chef or just love to cook, this 5-piece range with optional magnetic knife block covers a superb selection of knives that would look beautiful in any kitchen.


The knives available are as follows:

  • 5.6-inch Petty Knife
  • 6.7-inch Nakiri Knife
  • 7-inch Santoku Knife
  • 8-inch Chef Knife
  • 9-inch Kiritsuke
  • Precision-forged blades with ultra-premium, high-carbon steel for unrivalled performance and incredible edge retention.
  • Our impressive SGS Swiss authoritative testing ensures the product's metal content reaches the perfect standard.
  • Ruthlessly sharp, scalpel-like edge is hand-finished to a mirror polish within a staggering 15-degree angle. The knives are forged with 3.2mm thick steel. A forging process where the blade body is gradually thinned from 2mm to 1.35mm, achieves both incredible sharpness and a comfortable weight to the blade.
  • 3 layers of AUS10 steel with a Rockwell Hardness of 60+/-2 HRC.
  • Nitrogen-cooled for enhanced hardness, flexibility, and corrosion resistance.
  • Featuring an exquisite, Feather blade pattern for striking, stand-out beauty.
  • A precisely tapered blade minimises surface resistance for buttery smooth cut-through.
  • Ergonomic handle shape for superior hand control, agility, and comfort made from natural Ebony, sealed and cured by high-temperature wax to create a durable and glossy finish.
  • Hidden tang for superb robustness and quality.
  • Tested to meet razor-sharp standards below 100N (the average kitchen knife test has a sharpness of 210N).

 

Damascus and AUS10 blades are made from high-carbon steel with small amounts of chromium in the alloy. While high in carbon steel, the blade can show rust if not cared for. You should ensure to keep the blades clean and dry thoroughly to avoid rust or staining. Hand washes only.

 

Block dimensions: 275mm (w) x 225mm (h) x 105mm (d)

The 'Knife Block' is magnetic on both sides and can hold 10 knives if needed.

We recommend using a whetstone to sharpen your knives.

We have a range on our website and also have some articles on our blog, which talk you through the best way to look after and sharpen your knives, including recommended angles, etc

Knives should never go in the dishwasher. Dishwasher detergent is very abrasive, and along with the banging around that happens during a wash cycle, will take the sharp edge right off your knife. The high heat can also damage the handle or misshape them. Always wash knives by hand in the sink with dish soap and water and dry after.

If for any reason you are not completely satisfied with your purchase, within 30 days of placing your order, we will refund you for your purchase with no questions asked.
