Description:
A traditional Japanese two-piece boxed set from Yoshitsugu-saku, crafted in Echigo (modern-day Niigata). This duo includes a 150mm deba and a 170mm santoku, both featuring polished mono-steel stainless blades with traditional wa-style magnolia handles.
The deba is a sturdy, workhorse fish or protein blade, while the santoku brings nimble versatility for daily veg, fruit, and prep work. The classic bevels and clean satin finish give it that traditional look, while the stainless steel construction keeps maintenance low for home cooks and pros alike.
