Specifications
Maintenance and Care
To keep your chef's knife in optimum condition, we recommend hand washing it with mild soap and warm water. As with any good chef's knife, avoid the dishwasher, as the aggressive cleaning can quickly shorten the life of your knife. After washing, make sure to dry it immediately and thoroughly to avoid stains.
Sharpen regularly
Use a sharpening stone, sharpening rod or sharpening steel regularly. This will help you effortlessly maintain the sharpness and precision of your knife, extend its lifespan and continue to enjoy an unparalleled cutting experience.
Storage
Properly storing your knives in a knife block is essential to not only ensure safety, but also extend the life of your knives. By storing them this way, you prevent damage to the cutting edges and ensure that they are always within reach when you need them.
Correct substrate
Quality cutting boards are essential for keeping your knives sharp and extending their life. They provide a soft, non-abrasive surface that prevents knives from dulling quickly and reduces the impact on the blade while cutting. Using quality cutting boards is an investment in both the performance and durability of your knives.
Warranty
We are fully convinced of the quality of Shinrai kitchen knives. That is why we offer a 25-year warranty on material and manufacturing defects.

Shinrai Knives - Kōyō Damascus 8-piece knife set
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.
Unique features and specifications
- Complete 8-piece set: An all-in-one solution for the modern kitchen. Contains all necessary knives for both coarse chopping and very fine precision work.
- 67 layers of Damascus steel: Thanks to the 33 layers of damascus on both sides of the core, the knife is not only extremely strong and shock-resistant, but also extremely durable and insensitive to corrosion.

A unique masterpiece
The Kōyō Damascus Series transcends the standard. It is not just a functional set of knives, but an aesthetic statement in your kitchen. The combination of the vibrant damascus pattern and the warm wood makes every preparation a special experience.
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.
