MISAKI – where quality meets art.
From heavy-duty carving to finely slicing vegetables, two knives are often the most efficient solution.
The HIKARI Balance Set combines the versatile chef's knife with the precise nakiri knife. Powerful cuts and delicate work go hand in hand. Together, they create a balanced foundation for any kitchen.
Ideal for chefs who value versatility and balance.
Each blade is hand-ground in several steps and carefully inspected – for uncompromising sharpness and absolute control. The fine-grained structure of the Damascus steel core ensures long-lasting edge retention and can be easily resharpened as needed.
Suitable for:
Blade
67 layers of Damascus steel with an edge-retaining 10Cr15CoMoV core and 66 layers of corrosion-resistant 316/316L stainless steel.
The blade is vacuum heat-treated, one of the most advanced hardening technologies in the world, for an especially uniform structure, smooth surface and outstanding edge retention. With a hardness of 60-62 HRC on the Rockwell scale, it offers the ideal combination of resilience and long-lasting cutting performance.
The Japanese V-grind at 15° per side ensures uncompromising sharpness. Exception: the bread knife uses a single-sided 30° serrated grind.
Half bolster and full tang ensure balanced weight distribution, high stability and maximum durability, even with intensive use.
Handle
The ergonomic handle is made from selected, light figured sycamore maple.
The natural grain makes each knife unique. Multiple polishing steps create an especially smooth surface for secure grip and comfortable handling, even during longer use.
Suitable for left- and right-handed users.
