Meet the Tengoku 10-Piece Chef Knife Set—a complete bench of daily drivers and specialists for prep, service, and everything between. Damascus-pattern stainless blades pair with blue resin epoxy handles for confident grip and clean, controlled cuts. Each knife is balanced at the pinch, ground to a keen double-bevel (~12° per side), and built on a full-tang, stainless-bolstered construction.

FAQ

What’s the difference between Gyuto and Santoku?

Gyuto excels at rocking and long draw cuts with a fine tip; Santoku’s flatter belly favors chop/push cuts and tight board space.


Is the Damascus pattern real?

The blades feature a stainless Damascus-pattern finish over a high-carbon stainless core, offering food release and an artisan look with everyday durability.


How often should I sharpen?

Hone lightly as needed; sharpen when a few passes no longer restore bite. Many home cooks touch up every few weeks.


Do the epoxy handles need special care?

Just hand-wash and dry. Avoid prolonged soaks and high heat to preserve gloss and fit.
