Product Information
Beautiful and unique Shinrai knives.
People who cut a lot probably suffer from it. Knives that become blunt very quickly and blades where the cut food always sticks. With this razor-sharp knife of Shinrai, that's a thing of the past. The handcrafted steel blade extends into a beautiful pakka wood handle.
The knives of Shinrai are unique as most parts are handmade. The knives of Shinrai are forged from High Carbon steel. This makes the knives hard and very sharp. A beautiful and durable knife set that is essential for each kitchen.
- High Carbon steel
- Hardened to 60 HRC Rockwell
- Razor-sharp paring knife with a 9-centimeter blade
- Delivered in a luxury gift box
- The best in its price range
Pleasurable in every way
All knives are extremely sharp and perfectly balanced, making them comfortable to hold. Cutting your food has never been more fun.
Handmade to the last detail
As the knives are handmade, each and every detail has been checked and taken into account. Providing you the best quality in knives.
Perfect grip
The handles consist of high quality Pakka Wood. This is a type of hard wood with a characteristic dark texture, creating a perfect grip.
A second advantage of the blade is the head. It does not run all the way through to the cut, but does clearly separate the handle from the blade. This ensures extra safety when cutting, which is nice!
A gift to give
The knives are delivered in a premium gift box, ensuring protected and low-risk shipment. The perfectly wrapped gift for everyone who enjoys cooking.
Specifications
We strongly advise to handwash the knives to preserve the blade and wooden handle.

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.

What our customers are saying
I ordered a magnetic knife block and it's perfect. The delivery took a little longer than expected but I only realised later that it's shipped from outside the UK. Nonetheless, it arrived in great condition, looks fab and works exactly as I hoped.
Exactly what I was looking for in a knife, something I could use both at home or in work and a brilliant edition to my already growing collection. Will 100% back to buy another, also loved the way they give you a plaster with your knife!...never seen this before
