This two-piece duo from Hatsukokoro’s Hikari Damascus Series offers a versatile foundation for any kitchen. Combining a mid-sized Chef knife (190mm) with a compact Petty knife (130mm), it delivers both power and precision in one elegant set.
At the heart of each blade lies a core of SLD semi-stainless steel, hardened to ~61 HRC (+/-1). Known for its origins in cutting industrial metals, SLD brings outstanding edge retention while remaining easier to maintain than high-carbon steels. A quick rinse and dry are all that’s needed to keep these blades performing at their best.
This Series showcases a striking Damascus cladding over the SLD core, giving each blade a unique flowing pattern. With a thin, double-bevel grind, the knives are approachable for new users yet precise enough for professionals seeking reliable performance.
Crafted with ebony wood handles, this duo offers durability, comfort, and balance in equal measure. The dark, polished finish pairs beautifully with the Damascus steel, giving the knives a timeless and refined character.
Together, this Chef and Petty knife duo embodies the spirit of the Hikari Series: precision, elegance, and performance that lasts.
