Umi paring knife9 cm≈ 85 gPeeling, trimming, precision work

● Why this Japanese knife trio?

These three knives complement each other perfectly. The Santoku is your everyday knife: vegetables, meat or fish, it slices everything with an up-and-down motion. The longer, pointed chef's knife takes over for large pieces and rocking cuts.

The paring knife handles the small jobs: peeling, trimming, cutting a shallot or a piece of fruit. With this set, you are equipped for the vast majority of recipes without cluttering your kitchen.

● 67-layer Damascus steel: an edge that lasts

Damascus steel is made by stacking and forge-welding 67 layers of steel. Each blade features a unique wavy pattern and a hardness of 60–62 HRC, well above that of a standard kitchen knife.

The result: a fine, precise edge that glides through food without crushing it and stays sharp for a long time. The blue epoxy resin and stabilised wood handles offer a comfortable grip and a distinctive look.

● A gift idea for cooking enthusiasts

Beautiful, useful every day and built to last, the Umi Trio set is an ideal gift for home cooks, whether they are just starting out or have been cooking for years. A popular superstition says that a knife given as a gift can “cut” a friendship, so the recipient gives a small coin in return. For Christmas, order early to receive your gift in time.

● FAQ: Umi Trio Japanese knife set

What's in the Umi Trio Japanese knife set?

The Umi Trio set contains three Japanese knives made from 67-layer Damascus steel: an 18 cm Santoku knife, a 20 cm chef's knife (Gyuto) and a 9 cm paring knife. All three blades have a hardness of 60–62 HRC and a handle made of blue epoxy resin and stabilised wood.

Why buy a set rather than individual knives?

The set brings together the three most useful kitchen knives and saves you €46.80 compared with buying them separately, around 15%. With the Santoku, the chef's knife and the paring knife, you cover the vast majority of everyday cutting tasks.

Is this set suitable for Japanese knife beginners?

Yes. The Santoku is the easiest Japanese knife to get to grips with, the paring knife handles small tasks and the chef's knife is there as your confidence grows. It is the ideal set-up to get started without making the wrong choice.

Can the knives in the set go in the dishwasher?

No. Heat and harsh detergents damage Damascus steel and dull the edge. Wash your knives by hand right after use, then dry them immediately with a cloth to keep them like new for years.

How do I sharpen the knives in the set?

Use a water whetstone: a 1000 grit to sharpen, then a 3000 to 6000 grit to polish, keeping an angle of around 15 degrees. Between sharpenings, simply honing the edge is enough to maintain the cut.

Does the set come in a gift box?

No, the set is delivered in standard packaging, without a gift box. It still makes a great gift for anyone who loves cooking. A popular superstition says the recipient should give a small coin in return for a knife.

Can I return the set?

Yes. You have 60 days to return your set if it is not right for you. Shipping is tracked and our customer support team is happy to answer your questions before and after your order.
