The imarku 14-piece high-carbon stainless steel kitchen knife set is a complete, ergonomically balanced knife collection with a solid wood block and built-in sharpener for everyday home cooking.

Made from imported high-carbon stainless steel and finished with a fine hand-sharpened edge, this imarku knife set combines durable materials with user-focused design.

Each knife is heat-treated for consistent strength and honed to a 15° angle per side to balance sharpness with long-term resilience.

How sharp and durable are these knives?

Blades are produced from premium Japanese-imported steel, heat-treated to a Rockwell hardness around 56 ± 2 HRC, then hand-sharpened to a 15° edge on each side. That construction aims to keep a fine cutting edge while resisting chips and wear during regular kitchen tasks.

• High-carbon stainless composition for edge retention and corrosion resistance
• Heat-treated processing for consistent blade strength
• Hand-sharpened 15° per side for a sharp, precise cut
• Dishwasher-safe design noted in manufacturer guidance (refer to included manual)

Which knives are included and what tasks do they handle?

The set contains 14 pieces tailored to most home cooking needs, from chopping vegetables to slicing bread and carving roasts. It also includes six serrated steak knives for table service, a pair of kitchen shears, and a built-in sharpener in the block for convenient maintenance.

• 8" chef and 7" Santoku for chopping, dicing and mincing
• 8" bread and 8" slicing knives for loaves and roasts
• 3.5" paring and 5" utility for small, precise jobs
• Six 4.5" serrated steak knives, kitchen shears, sharpener and wooden block

How comfortable and safe are the handles?

Each blade is full-tang and fitted with an ergonomic handle shaped with subtle ridges to improve grip and control. The increased handle weight helps balance the blade for smoother cuts and less wrist fatigue during repetitive tasks.

• Full-tang construction for stability and balance
• Ergonomic form with textured ridges for non-slip handling
• Improved balance through added handle weight
• Care instructions included to maintain finish and grip longevity

What should I know about the block, logo, and warranty?

The brand offers a lifetime coverage promise covering defects and provides free exchanges or returns where applicable.
