This makes them well-suited for precise slicing and push-cutting techniques common in Japanese cooking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: What sizes are included in this 5-piece set?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe set includes five knives with overall lengths of 12.5\", 11.5\", 11\", 10\", and 8.5\".

Hand wash and dry immediately after use to keep both the blade and handle in good condition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: How do I maintain the edge on these knives?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHone the edge regularly with a honing rod before each use. When the blade needs resharpening, use a whetstone — avoid electric sharpeners, which can remove too much material from a hand-ground Damascus edge. Never put in the dishwasher.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eExplore More\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/collections\/kitchen-knives-set\"\u003eKitchen Knives Set\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/collections\/chef-knives\"\u003eChef Knives\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/collections\/cleaver-knives\"\u003eCleaver Knives\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/collections\/ullu-knives\"\u003eUllu Knives\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/collections\/fillet-knives\"\u003eFillet Knives\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThis knife is intended for adults 18 years of age or older.
