A blade used for fish was never used for vegetables. This culture of specialization drove Japanese bladesmiths to develop some of the most refined knife profiles ever made — the Sujihiki for clean slicing, the Nakiri for flat-contact vegetable cuts, the Petty for detail work, and the Gyuto for general prep. Each shape was refined over generations until it reached its most efficient form. This 5-piece set brings those same specialized profiles into a handmade Damascus build.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow is this different from the 4-piece olive wood set?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis 5-piece set adds a Utility and Petty knife and uses black bolsters.
