The Kuroi Hana Japanese Knife Collection from London-based Edge of Belgravia is placed among the finest Chef knives in the world. The set of six knives has a steel core of AUS-10 alloyed with Vanadium for strength, long-lasting sharpness, and corrosion resistance. Over this core, 66 more layers of Aichi Steel Corporation’s S/S 430 and S/S 431 high carbon steel are added, using the ‘Damascus Effect’ to create an especially attractive mottled pattern in the blades. There complete set includes a 4″ paring knife, a 5″ utility knife, a bread knife & general slicing blade both 7.5″ in length, and two Chef knives of 6″ & 7.5″ respectively. Housed in a ‘Black Diamond’ knife block, the Kuroi Hana Chef collection is priced at $290 and would be the pride of a Chef’s collection.
