Saba 3 Piece Knife Set with Steel The perfect gift for yourself or a loved one. Okimoto Saba 210mm Kiritsuke - to slice and dice with swagger Okimoto Saba 180mm Santoku - an excellent mid sized all rounder Okimoto Saba 150mm Petty - for more detailed tasks Chefs Armoury Ceramic Steel - designed especially for Japanese knives Okimoto Saba Series One of our fan favourites, the Saba has real presence and the sort of reassuring weight that tells you it means business, not a delicate ornament that's terrified of a butternut pumpkin. The rugged hammered finish adds to the appeal. It looks like a knife that's earned its place in the kitchen, with just enough attitude to stand out without trying too hard. Best of all, it's as practical as it is handsome. Crafted from stainless molybdenum vanadium steel with a 50:50 V bevel, the Okimoto Saba knife is refreshingly low maintenance. It sharpens easily, holds its edge impressively well for it's price and shrugs off the demands of everyday cooking. It's the sort of knife you'll reach for every night, not because you have to, but because all of your old kit suddenly feels second best. If you love perfect fit and finish buy the Mcusta Zanmai Hammer knives instead, but like all our Okimoto series, these are excellent value for money. Okimoto Knives Named for the legendary drinking samurai from the Mori clan, Okimoto knives are no nonsense workhorses that will leave a few dollars in your wallet for your next bottle of Japanese Sake.
