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.

Kirameki Damascus Series
The Kirameki series distinguishes itself through the use of authentic VG-10 Damascus steel. Where other series opt for a print, the Kirameki offers a blade composed of three layers of high-quality steel. This results in unprecedented sharpness and a beautiful, naturally layered pattern. The handles, a refined mix of walnut and maple wood, not only provide a luxurious appearance but also ergonomic perfection that makes every cutting task effortless.
Unique features and specifications
- Complete 8-piece set: This extensive set contains all essential knives for the modern kitchen, from a powerful chef's knife to precision paring knives. The perfect tool for every ingredient.
- VG-10 Damascus steel: The blade consists of three layers of high-quality steel. This type of steel is renowned worldwide for its extreme hardness, excellent wear resistance, and long-lasting sharpness.
- Walnut and maple wood handle: A unique combination of a walnut bolster and high-quality maple wood. This gives the knives a warm, natural look and superior balance.

Use & maintenance
- Maintenance tips and recommendations: Always hand wash the knives in lukewarm water with a mild detergent and dry them immediately. Please note: These high-quality knives are not suitable for the dishwasher; the heat and chemicals can damage the steel and natural wood.
- Regular sharpening: Despite the high hardness of VG-10 steel, periodic maintenance is essential. Use a fine sharpening stone (whetstone) to keep the razor-sharp edge in top condition.
- Safe storage: Protect the Damascus steel by storing the knives in a wooden knife block or on a magnetic knife holder. This prevents damage to the edge and keeps the set within reach.
- The right cutting surface: Always cut on a wooden or high-quality plastic cutting board. Hard surfaces such as glass or stone can directly affect the sharpness of the VG-10 steel.
