With the two Kohen knives, the Japanese company once again demonstrates its great expertise in producing high-quality kitchen knives. The "Coreless" Damascus blade is made from VG2 and VG10 high-performance stainless steels that are forged and folded to produce 72 layers that alternate sequentially on the edge of the blade to ensure unmatched cutting and edge-holding performance.

A premium material such as pakkawood in red and black colorations was chosen for the handles. Also included in the set are two leather blade protector sheaths and an aluminum case for storing and transporting these two valuable knives safely.
