I am extremely excited to try out this beautiful Kanpeki Knife Set from Kamikoto 神箏 , who is a maker of knives with high-grade Japanese steel from the Niigata Prefecture, Japan. The company Kamikoto is so confident in their knives that they even provide a limited warranty for lifetime for their customers.

Cutting ingredients is never my favorite thing to do, but I finally understand how a good knife can change so much in cooking. It just makes cutting so much easier and fun! I absolutely love these knives because they are designed in a way so that you can use them effortlessly and precisely. Let me show you what I did with these knives!

Once unpacking, I couldn't be more impressed with its knife wooden box. It looks very unique and sophisticated with their company name engraved on box cover. When you open the box, you will find a "Certificate of Authenticity" for the knife set.

Certificate of Authenticity

Inside the box, there are these black spongy materials that keep the knives in place when storing them. For each knife, both handle and blade have a satin finish to create a soft glow. The handle is long and round, which provides a comfortable, good grip for my hand without any slipping problem. They are heavier than the typical knives, very sharp at the same time, which means I need less strength to cut.

There are 3 knives in the Kanpeki Knife Set: a long slicing knife, a Nakiri vegetable knife, and an utility knife.

LONG SLICING KNIFE

The long slicing knife is great for slicing anything for me. It is 8.5 inches, long enough to cut larger vegetables like cabbage, lettuce, bell peppers, etc. Due to its long and curvy shape, it is great for mincing things like garlic, ginger, green onions, etc. (See GIF below) The pointy end is good for making small cuts on raw meat before marinating them.

NAKIRI VEGETABLE KNIFE

As the name suggested, it is great for cutting vegetables. It is 7 inches long and is heavier than the slicing knife, which makes it a better fit for cutting harder vegetables like carrots and celery. The large blade is extremely useful for several things. Due to the larger area on the blade, it is logical to use it for cutting large fruit/vegetable like watermelons, squash, pumpkins, eggplants, etc. Use it to dice onions, tomatoes, or potatoes is good too. Lastly, I like to use the large blade to carry things to a bowl.

UTILITY KNIFE

The utility is a smaller knife that is only 5 inches long. Although it is the smallest knife out of all, it is lighter, more versatile, and the easiest to use. Most of the time, I don't have to cut anything extremely hard or huge. The utility knife can usually handle mid-size food. It is also uniquely perfect for more detailed tasks like unpeeling, scoring, or cutting something small like a lime or strawberry.

CONCLUSION

I am extremely satisfy with my Kanpeki Knife Set. For most of the time, I can just grab any one of those knives and prepare my food. Cutting food used to be my least favorite part of cooking. I tended to ignore the quality of my knives and just go with whatever I have at home, which are these dull and old knives. Now, I actually enjoy cutting ingredients and can't wait to try out more recipes at home.

Needless to say, these knives are very well-designed to work with the hand and the way you cut. It has a good amount of weight to keep it well balanced and make effortless cuts. Here's some chopping, dicing, and mincing I did at home.
