This bundle brings together the most useful blades from the new Dao Vua V4 series — plus a ceramic honing rod to keep everything dialed in. It’s a complete handmade setup for everyday cooking, built around one big upgrade: the switch to 52100 carbon steel and a drastically improved blade taper across the whole lineup.
Same rustic charm, but way more reliability.
What’s inside the bundle
🔪 210mm Kiritsuke — your main driver
Fast, balanced, and surprisingly precise for a hand-forged blade. The new taper gives the spine thickness near the handle, but the tip and cutting area feel much more refined than older Dao Vua generations. It’s the kind of knife that goes from onions to meat to herbs without hesitation.
🥬 165mm Nakiri — the veg machine
A clean, controlled chopper with a flat profile and a bit of weight. Great for big prep days or just making dinner without fuss. The V4 geometry makes it push through dense veg way smoother than the old “flat slab” Dao Vua nakiris.
🍗 150mm Honesuki — poultry specialist
Tight corners, joints, trimming — it does all of it. The new 52100 steel shines here: stable edge, good toughness, and enough bite to feel confident around awkward bones.
🔪 135mm Petty — small but ridiculously handy
Fruit, small veg, herbs, trimming and detail work. Lightweight, sharp, and makes you wonder why you didn’t own a petty earlier.
🧰 Ceramic Honing Rod — daily maintenance
Not for sharpening — just for keeping the edge straight and fresh. A few gentle passes and the knives feel brand new.
Why the V4 series is actually a big deal
Dao Vua used to be known for charm, value, and a “rough-but-fun” handmade vibe… but also for using leaf-spring steel and having pretty wild inconsistencies. The V4 generation fixes most of that. Here’s how:
✓ Upgraded Steel: 52100 Carbon Steel
A proven, stable high-carbon steel that sharpens beautifully and holds an edge longer. More predictable, more reliable, and honestly just a better choice for kitchen use than the old 5160.
✓ Way Better Blade Taper
Older Dao Vua models were often feather-thin with no real taper — great for slicing, not so great for durability or food release.
The V4 blades now have a proper transition from heel to tip. This makes them feel more nimble, stronger, and nicer to use overall.
✓ Thicker Spines, Stronger Tips, Cleaner Geometry
This batch has noticeably better structure. Still handmade, still rustic, but the shape and balance are more intentional.
Dao Vua is not a polished, high-end Japanese brand — and that’s part of the charm. Expect: small visual imperfections, rustic kurouchi finish, small gaps or tool marks, handle variations... natural forging character.
This 5-piece bundle covers basically everything you need: veggies, meat, poultry, trimming, daily cooking… all with upgraded steel and much better geometry than previous Dao Vua generations.
