Why You’ll Love the Yakushi 5-Piece Master Set
The 5-piece Master Set expands beyond the basic kitchen trio without overwhelming your counter with rarely used blades. It combines five practical knife shapes for everyday cooking, vegetable prep, heavier chopping, controlled slicing, and precise detail work.
Each knife combines a Damascus-clad high-carbon stainless-steel blade, double-beveled edge, and pakka wood handle. The familiar edge geometry makes the complete set suitable for both right-handed and left-handed cooks.
Five Knives for Broader Kitchen Prep
8-Inch Chef Knife: The Everyday Workhorse
Use the chef knife for all-purpose chopping, slicing boneless meat and fish, mincing herbs, and preparing larger vegetables and fruit.
7-Inch Santoku: Controlled Chopping and Slicing
The full-size Santoku supports straight, controlled cuts through vegetables, fruit, herbs, and boneless proteins when you prefer less rocking motion.
7-Inch Cleaver: Extra Surface and Chopping Power
The wide cleaver handles larger vegetables, dense produce, and thicker cuts of boneless meat. Its broad blade also helps transfer prepared ingredients from the cutting board. It is not intended for bones or frozen food.
5-Inch Santoku: Compact and Agile
Reach for the smaller Santoku during quick vegetable prep, fruit slicing, dicing, and other tasks where a more compact blade offers added control.
3.5-Inch Paring Knife: Precise Detail Work
Use the paring knife for peeling, trimming, scoring, cutting berries, deveining shrimp, and other small tasks that require a short, controllable blade.
The Middle Ground Between Essential and Full Sets
A 3-piece set covers the foundations, while an 8-piece set adds more specialized blades and storage requirements. This 5-piece collection gives frequent home cooks additional flexibility while remaining compact enough for practical everyday use.
Secure Pakka Wood Handling
Pakka wood handles provide a comfortable, secure grip and a refined finish across all five knives, helping maintain controlled handling through large chopping jobs and precise detail work.
Simple Care for Lasting Performance
Hand-wash each knife with mild dish soap and dry it immediately. Use a wood or suitable synthetic cutting board and store the knives where their edges cannot contact other utensils. Avoid dishwashers, bones, frozen food, twisting, and prying.
FIVE KNIVES. MORE WAYS TO PREP.
More Range for the Way You Cook
The 5-piece Master Set adds a 7-inch Santoku and 7-inch cleaver to the chef knife, compact Santoku, and paring essentials—giving frequent home cooks more control across vegetables, boneless proteins, and detailed prep.
