I used a Korin knife for the first time recently. The blade was so sharp it seemed to have teeth; the handling was so precise, mundane tasks became fun. Wouldn't it be great to cook like that every day?
-Gabriella Gershenson, SAVEUR Senior Editor

Good cooks need sharp knives; this trio is the perfect starter set for a newbie or an impressive additional to a professional's collection. It includes a knife for every kitchen task, each handcrafted in Japan by knife forgers who are so uniquely skilled their names remain a trade secret. The Gyuto is an all-purpose chef's knife, a workhorse for preparing vegetables, fish and meat. The petite Petty knife can be used for intricate knife work and delicate tasks like peeling fruits or neatly trimming mushrooms and the elegant Sujiki slicer will glide through sides of fish or a perfectly roasted chicken.

Here's what you get:

  • One Gyuto 8.2" blade
  • One Sujihiki 10.5" blade
  • One Petty 5.9" blade

Why We Love It

Korin Japanese Trading is where New York City’s chefs (we’re willing to bet on almost all of them) go to purchase their coveted knives.  We’re saving you the trip. Made with molybdenum steel, an alloy that helps to maintain steel’s strength at high temperatures, these thin blades are stain resistant and will hold a sharp edge with proper honing.  The edges have been hand finished, Western style (both sides of the blade are sharpened), to accommodate the wide array of kitchen tasks in Western cooking from a chiffonade of delicate sage leaves to cleanly carving a standing rib roast.
