Description

The NAGOMI 2-Piece Set (Santoku Knife and Petty Knife) is an essential kitchen set that includes one NAGOMI Santoku and one NAGOMI Petty knife. Both versatile tools handle everyday tasks from chopping and slicing to peeling and detailed trimming. The knives are crafted by Mitsuboshi Cutlery in Seki City, Gifu Prefecture, blending centuries-old swordmaking tradition with modern materials and precision. Each blade is forged from 440A molybdenum steel, heat-treated, tempered, and hand-honed to deliver a durable, razor-sharp edge that stands up to regular use. Ideal as a starter set for home cooks or a thoughtful gift for chefs and food lovers.

About the Blade Shape:
Santoku: well-balanced, all-purpose kitchen knife, Santoku knives are designed for versatility across meat, fish, and vegetables. The moderately flat edge supports efficient chopping and slicing, while the compact blade length offers excellent control for everyday prep. Typically double-edged and measuring between 165mm and 180mm, the santoku is a reliable choice for both home cooks and professional kitchens.

Petty: Petty knives are designed for smaller jobs on a cutting board. The ideal blade for detailed tasks such as peeling fruits, slicing shallots, potato peeling, cutting herbs, boning smaller proteins or decorative vegetable cuts. On the other hand, petty knives are an indispensable tool for those who feel uncomfortable wielding a larger chef knife.

Product Care Instructions

HOW TO USE?

  • Only cut food you can bite and chew with this knife since hard foods can chip the blade. Do not cut olive pits, bones, lobster shells, wood pieces or frozen food, which are especially bad  due to the cold making hard steel more brittle.
  • Do not use the knife in twisting motions.
  • Use wood or plastic cutting boards to avoid dull knives. Do not use glass,  granite or bamboo surfaces.

HOW TO CLEAN?

  • After each use, hand wash the knife with mild detergent and a soft sponge, rinse with hot water and dry by hand immediately. Do not use the dishwasher.
  • Wood handles may dry out over time and exposure to water. To prevent this, use some food safe mineral oil or beeswax.  

HOW TO STORE?

  • Wrap the blade in newspaper to reduce direct exposure to the air and prevent rusting if you keep knives in a drawer or travel case. 
  • If you are hanging the knife or using a knife stand, remember that the blade should point downwards.
  • If you are storing them in a drawer, keep the edge from touching anything else.

About this artisan

Portrait of main artisan of Mitsuboshi Cutlery

Mitsuboshi Cutlery

Based in Seki, a city in Japan with a rich history of knife making, the Nagomi collection knives are precisely crafted by Mitsuboshi Cutlery, in the same place where samurai traveled from all over the country to sharpen their swords many generations ago.

NAGOMI knives embody the same functional elegance as the ancient katanas forged by their makers' ancestors.

Every finished knife undergoes five specialty processes over a period of three months, creating a durable kitchen tool you can use for many years to come.

Decades of Japanese craftsmanship and the finest materials make NAGOMI knives an investment for home and professional kitchens alike. They are revered by pâtissiers and chefs around the world.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are Mitsuboshi Cutlery knives dishwasher safe?

No, Mitsuboshi Cutlery knives should not be washed in the dishwasher due to their artisanal crafting process. To prevent damage to your knife and ensure it lasts you for years to come, please wash the knife by hand with a mild detergent and gentle sponge.

How should I care for my Mitsuboshi Cutlery knife?

After each use, be sure to wash the knife by hand using a mild detergent and gentle sponge. Rinse clean and wipe with a soft dish towel until completely dry. Store in a dry place.

Will my Mitsuboshi Cutlery knife rust?

I have not received

It has not been delivered yet

Dear Mark Waters,

Thank you for contacting us! We have tried to get in touch with you via email (perhaps it was sent to your spam folder), but your package was returned to us by Japan Post early this week. Unfortunately, due to the new customs rules in effect in the United States as of August 29, 2025, Japan Post is no longer accepting packages destined for the United States. Your package was shipped before this date but because it did not leave Japan prior to the date Japan Post stopped shipping to the US, the package was returned to our warehouse. We are preparing it for shipment via DHL Express, so it should reach you within a week or two if all goes smoothly. You should also receive a confirmation email with your new tracking number as soon as we have shipped it via DHL. We sincerely apologize for the inconveniences caused, but please understand that the decisions of Japan Post and the US government are unfortunately far beyond our control. Please feel free to get in touch with us via email if you have any other questions or concerns!
Greetings from Japan,
The Japanese Food Craftsman Team
