Kiru Core Set — Chef Series
The Core Set is a full working kit in one box — the knives a home kitchen actually reaches for, sized to however much drawer space you're willing to give them. Six pieces covers the essentials. Eight adds range for prep-heavy cooking. Ten is the whole bench: chef, santoku, bread, slicing, boning, utility, and paring, plus the kitchen scissors and peeler that round out the lineup.
Every blade carries the Damascus-pattern watermark, and the set runs a matched profile so the knives feel related in the hand rather than assembled from spare parts. Handles are dark pakkawood with a full stainless bolster. Weight is even front to back. Nothing here is filler to pad the piece count.
Hand wash and dry each piece after use, and keep them on a block or strip rather than loose in a drawer where edges knock against each other. Covered for 60 days — if the set isn't what you wanted, send it back for a full refund.
