Hagane gives you four complementary blade profiles in one coordinated kitchen family.
Choose an individual knife for a focused task or the complete four-piece set for everyday chopping, slicing, and vegetable prep.

Hammered stainless steel blades
Each blade combines a dark hammered upper finish with a polished cutting area. The textured surface adds visual character while helping reduce broad food contact during prep.

Faceted wooden handles
The straight, faceted handles provide clear hand positioning and a consistent grip across the Chef, Santoku, Kiritsuke, and Nakiri profiles.

Choose one available configuration:

Chef knife — curved profile for general chopping and slicing
Santoku knife — compact all-purpose profile
Kiritsuke knife — angled-tip profile for slicing and precision work
Nakiri knife — flat-edged vegetable profile
4-piece set — Chef, Santoku, Kiritsuke, and Nakiri knives

A knife block, sharpener, and separate sheath are not listed as included.

Available configurations: Chef, Santoku, Kiritsuke, Nakiri, or 4-piece set
Blade material: stainless steel
Blade finish: hammered upper surface with polished cutting area
Handle material: wood
Handle shape: straight faceted profile

Explore Each Knife

8” Chef (Kiritsuke) Knife

The cornerstone of the kitchen. Balanced and powerful, it handles everything from rapid chopping to smooth rocking cuts, making everyday prep faster and more controlled.

8” Bread Knife

A sharp, precise serration slices cleanly through crusty bread and delicate pastries without tearing or crushing the inside. Also ideal for tomatoes and soft-skinned produce.

7” Santoku Knife

Compact, agile, and highly versatile. Its flatter profile and balanced feel make it perfect for clean slicing, dicing, and controlled prep across meat, fish, and vegetables.

7” Nakiri Knife

Designed for serious vegetable work. The flat, rectangular blade delivers fast push-cuts, full board contact, and clean, precise slices through greens, roots, and dense produce.

6” Boning Knife

Thin and flexible for precision where it matters. Easily trims fat, separates meat from bone, and gives you full control when working with proteins.

5” Utility Knife

Your go-to knife for quick tasks. Ideal for fruit, sandwiches, small vegetables, and anything that’s too big for a paring knife but too small for a chef’s knife.

5” Santoku Knife

A smaller, more nimble santoku for lighter prep and detail work. Perfect when you want the santoku feel with extra control and less blade length.

3.5” Paring Knife

Built for detail and finesse. Excellent for peeling, trimming, coring, and any task that requires precision in hand rather than on the board.

The coordinated design keeps every knife consistent in hand and on the counter.

Hammered Blades, Cleaner Prep

The hammered surface breaks up broad blade contact while the polished cutting area moves cleanly through everyday ingredients.

Four distinct profiles let you match the blade shape to the task instead of forcing one knife to do everything.

Faceted Wood Handles for Control

Straight faceted wooden handles make blade orientation easy to feel and keep the grip consistent across the full Hagane family.

The warm wood finish balances the dark hammered blades without adding unnecessary decoration.

Absolutely. Steel Sensei knives are built to last. We offer a 100-year manufacturer’s warranty that covers any defects in material or workmanship. This tool is an investment, and we are here to protect it.

No. Like all professional-grade high carbon steel instruments, these knives should never be placed in a dishwasher. The high heat, harsh detergents, and rattling will damage the blade edge and handle materials. To keep your knife in pristine condition for a lifetime, simply hand wash with mild soap, wipe dry immediately, and store safely.

Our knives arrive razor-sharp out of the box. High carbon steel holds an edge significantly longer than standard stainless steel, but all knives eventually need maintenance. We recommend honing with a ceramic rod occasionally to maintain the laser-sharp edge.
