Experience the perfect blend of craftsmanship and performance. Our knife sets are crafted from premium high-carbon steel (7Cr17), delivering razor-sharp precision and professional-level quality right in your kitchen. With a carbon content of 0.6–0.75%, these blades are twice as tough as typical kitchen knives, ensuring lasting strength and reliability.
Each Japanese-inspired blade is precision-balanced, featuring a striking Damascus design, a 15° cutting edge, and an impressive HRC58+ hardness, making every slice smooth, controlled, and effortless. Resistant to rust, corrosion, and stains, these knives remain as stunning as they are sharp, meal after meal, year after year.

Our Features

WHY WE DESIGNED THIS
We wanted to design something special that brings us so much joy in our day-to-day lives. The focus was on how we could add a bit more personality to our everyday kitchen.
Had no issues ordering and the shipping was quick. It has been about three weeks now and we have used the knives and they are great! They look fabulous and can cut with ease.
Take note: you will need to hand wash these and dry right after washing so no rust area will occur.
This an absolutely beautiful set for the price!! The knives are beautiful and the Damascus etching gives it a great look without having the price tag Damascus would have. The break apart scissors are great, it makes it easy to keep them sanitary. I make sure to hand wash and dry them immediately and have no rust issues. The wooden block is gorgeous!!
Very sharp and good looking knife set. Well balanced with very comfortable handles. the Damascus blades definitely add to the great looks of this knife set.
These are the WORST knives ever. I loved the etched design in the images but they arrived with some of the blades already pitted with black spots. The knife edges were not very sharp. I washed and dried them hoping the discoloration would come off. It didn’t. Now they show rust all over. These have always been strictly hand washed. Didn’t take long for the scissors to break. I do not recommend these knives at all. Let’s see if you post this review.
Very happy with them. Just make sure you wash and dry them when you finish with them. We let one of the knives sit in the sick over night and I got a tiny rust stain on it.
Excellent set of knives for anything you come across in the kitchen. Block and knives are excellent quality, shipping was quick and they look stunning!

Hi Felix, Thank you for reaching out! Our new shear design is actually meant to come apart for easier cleaning and maintenance. The two pieces should easily fit back together for regular use.
If you’re unable to reassemble them or if something seems broken, please email us at support@yatoshiknives.com
with a photo or short video of the issue. Our team will be more than happy to help you resolve it quickly.
Love these knives. They are very sharp and good looking piece on my kitchen counter.
I ordered the Damascus knife block for my wife in July 2022. At first we were very happy with them. They looked nice and were quite sharp. However, it did not take long to realize they don't stay sharp for very long, we have to sharpen them very often. The wooden handles are not sealed and must be oiled often to keep them looking and feeling nice. The Damascus is FAKE. It is only an etched design that gradually fades, and NOT truely Damascus steel. The design is completely gone now. Lastly, they are fragile. Recently one of the steak knives was accidentally dropped on the floor when my wife was washing them, and the blade snapped about an inch from the hilt! So, now I'm once again looking for some actual quality knives.
