Saba 2 Piece Knife Set with Steel

A perfect starter kit for any household containing the following 3 items

Okimoto Saba Knife Series

The rugged hammered finish gives these knives plenty of character, while the extra weight compared to the average Japanese knife makes it feel solid and reassuring in the hand. If you prefer a knife with a bit more heft, this one fits the bill.

Made from stainless molybdenum vanadium steel with a 50:50 V bevel, the Saba series is easy to sharpen, simple to maintain, and built to handle everyday cooking without any drama.

If you love a perfect fit and finish buy the Mcusta Zanmai Hammer knives instead, but like all our Okimoto series, these are excellent value for money.

Care Instructions

Knife care for stainless steel knives

  • Never put in the dishwasher.
  • Dry thoroughly after handwashing and do not store unless fully dry.
  • Do not cut through bones, frozen foods or extremely dense items.
  • Always cut with a smooth action and never twist the blade, sideways pressure will damage the blade.
  • Use Japanese waterstones to sharpen your knife.
