This ultimate knife set includes two essential Japanese blades: the short and nimble Petty, perfect for intricate and delicate tasks, and the longer Gyuto, a versatile workhorse for a range of culinary endeavors.
This is a set of Japanese kitchen knives for all cooking enthusiasts and professional chefs looking for a classic Western design combined with stainless Japanese steel. Suitable for first-time buyers of a Japanese kitchen knife. It can also serve as a wonderful gift!
BLADE SHAPES:
Petty: Petty is a small multi-purpose Japanese kitchen knife that can be used for peeling, mincing, paring and decorating food. It can be used on and off the cutting board. Due to its thinness, it's great for preparing smaller fish, deboning poultry and trimming meat.
Gyuto: Gyuto is the most versatile and useful blade shape in the modern kitchen. It has a wide profile with an extra height clearance for easy food transfer and tends to be fairly flat towards the heel, enabling easy and fast chopping on the cutting board. A pointed tip allows piercing and precise, delicate work. A slight curve between the tip and the midsection makes the belly great for rocking the blade back and forth when cutting. It can be used for cutting meat, fish and vegetables.
STEEL:
The heart of this knife is made of Aichi's AUS-8 stainless steel, which was hardened to around 60 HRC. AUS-8 steel is a popular Japanese steel from the Aichi steelworks that is incredibly resistant to rust, yet simple to sharpen. The steel contains high amounts of carbon (0.7-0.75%) and is also high in vanadium (0.10-0.26%) and molybdenum (0.10-0.30%). It also has a high percentage of chromium (14.5%), making the blade corrosion-resistant and increasing the hardness, durability and the tensile strength of the steel mix.
LAMINATION:
The blade consists of 3 layers of steel - the harder steel AUS-8 (60 HRC) and two layers of softer stainless steel are forged welded together in what is known a san-mai construction. This technique is used to protect the hard (but delicate) core from outside factors, such as rust and physical impacts, which could lead to breakage.
GEOMETRY:
It has a double bevel (symmetrical) blade.
BLADE FINISH:
The blade has a high polish finish (also called migaki) and features a beautiful wavy line, marking a point where different layers of steel meet and seamlessly blend into each other. The upper part of the blade bears a subtle signature of the smithy in kanji characters which translate to “Senzo”, the name of the line of these knives.
ABOUT THE BLACKSMITH:
Suncraft is a family company spanning four generations and specializing in the production of kitchen tools. The smithy was founded in 1948 and is located in a thriving manufacturing area of Seki in Gifu prefecture, where steelwork dates back to the times of the Samurai warriors.

☝️ Japanese kitchen knives in our store are handmade from natural materials. Slight variations in color, texture, weight and other dimensions are possible. We try to give a good photographic representation of our products, however computer screen resolution and colors do vary, so products might not look exactly as they are seen on screen.
Blade wear depends on the quality of steel, usage and maintenance of the blade. Japanese knives are made of high-quality steels. Follow these tips to keep your Japanese knife in top-notch shape:
✔ Use a wooden, plastic or rubber cutting board.
✔ After use, wash the knives and wipe them dry.
✔ For storage, use a knife holder or a protective knife sheath (saya).
✔ A good cutting technique is your best bet to prolong sharpness.
✔ Use sharpening stones to sharpen the knife.
❗️Don’t leave the knife in the sink. Wash it by hand.
❗️Don’t wash the knife in the dishwasher.
❗️Don’t use the knife on glass, ceramics, marble or steel surfaces.
❗️Don’t scrape the food off the cutting board with the edge of the blade. Use the spine of the knife instead.
❗️Knife is a tool intended for specific use - cutting food. It is not a can opener, screwdriver, trowel, wire cutter, hammer etc.
