The Kōyō Damascus 8-piece knife set from Shinrai Knives is a masterpiece where aesthetics and raw power come together. The name "Kōyō" refers to the beautiful autumn colours in Japan, which perfectly matches the luxurious appearance of the natural materials used and the refined Damascus pattern.

The Kōyō series is designed for the discerning connoisseur looking for a unique and functional showpiece in the kitchen. The blade is a technical marvel: both sides consist of 33 layers of the finest Damascus steel. Together with the core, this forms a 67-layer blade, which provides unparalleled resistance to rust and stains. The handle is a testament to craftsmanship, crafted from an elegant combination of maple wood and a high-quality pakka wood bolster. A set that excels in shock resistance, style, and an extremely long lifespan.

Use & maintenance

• Maintenance tips and recommendations: Wash the knives by hand in lukewarm water and dry them immediately with a soft cloth. To ensure the quality of the 67-layer steel and maple wood, these knives should never be put in the dishwasher.
• Regular sharpening: Use a fine whetstone to maintain the razor-sharp edge of the Damascus steel. Regular maintenance extends the lifespan and increases cutting pleasure.
• Storage: Preferably store the knives on a magnetic strip or in a wooden knife block. This protects the 67 layers of steel from scratches and keeps the set safely out of reach of children.
• Correct surface: Always cut on a wooden or soft plastic surface. Avoid hard materials such as glass, stone, or ceramic to prevent the blade from becoming dull prematurely.
