I love chopping vegetables. I’m one of those people who think it’s extremely soothing (especially if I have a glass of wine on the side!). I love taking a bowl of whole, rough veggies and turning them into piles of organized color. Kamikoto reached out about partnering with them to feature their knives and accessories on KERF, so I walked ran skipped to the market to procure vegetables on which to test out the blades.
Kamikoto knives are made from steel sourced from select steel mills on Honshu island, which has been known for the steelmaking craft for over 800 years. They are the fanciest knives I have ever touched.
You’ll first notice their weight, and to me, that is the biggest difference between these and other knives I’ve used. Ever tried to cut open a squash or potato with a super light, dull knife? It’s impossible. The weight of these knives made using them feel so good.
They are also incredibly sharp. Each knife is made by hand. The steel is heated to 1050°C for three hours and annealed at 200°C for two hours, creating the strongest blade that keeps its edge from dulling. You can see some photos of this process here. When needed, they re-sharpen perfectly on a whetstone – and Kamikoto makes one ideal for their knives.
Kamikoto sent me the Kanpeki Knife Set, which includes a 7-inch Nakiri vegetable knife, an 8.5-inch slicing knife, and a 5-inch utility knife. I used the utility knife on my jalapeno and popped those little seeds right out!
I used the vegetable knife for chopping up a bunch of parsley – that was fun! The handles on these knives are very well shaped for gripping.
The final product that came to my house was their floating knife block. Think of it as a cross between a classic knife block and a magnetic strip you might screw into the wall. The perfect option if you love a strip but either can’t or shouldn’t put holes in your walls. The knives look beautiful on display!
With all my vegetables chopped, I decided to roast them in a pan for dinner. Tossed in olive oil and sea salt, I roasted them for about 30 minutes at 400 degrees.
I also made millet, heated up leftover BBQ chicken breast, toasted sliced almonds, and sliced some sharp white cheddar cheese and put them all together into a healthy mixed dinner.
I have an incredible giveaway for one of you! Kamikoto will send one lucky reader the same knife set they sent me. This would take any kitchen to the next level! They come in a beautiful gift box as well.

Lauri says
The knives look amazing!
Holly Watson says
I have been looking for great knives for forever!!! My favorite would be the chopping knife because I would use it every day and the one I currently have is terrible!!
Heather R says
I love a good knife! I have been using Pampered Chef knives and they have been working so far. My neighbor uses some brand of ceramic knives and they are also really great. It always helps to have a great knives when you are working in the kitchen.
Katie says
These look great and I love the magnetic knife block! My knives could use an upgrade, but my go-to is my 8 inch chefs knife. Can do pretty much any job with it!
Jess R says
We are currently renovating our kitchen and among the stuff we need is a new set of “grown up” knives. I’ve been researching different brands trying to find the right ones. I would love to try these, and the magnetic block would look great with our new countertops
montessoriishmom says
I would LOVE this! I only have one pretty sharp knife right now and I just wash it and reuse it constantly. I definitely need an upgrade. Thanks for the giveaway!
Anna says
I find it so hard to shop for knives because they’re all packaged up and can’t be “tested” in the store!
Marie says
I use an 8″ chef’s knife most often, but always covet nice utility knives. There’s also little more satisfying than slicing crusty bread with a brand new sharp serrated!
Amy says
I use a small paring knife all day as I cut fruits and vegetables for my two year old. My knife set is 9 years old and needs to be replaced!
Melanie says
Japanese knives are definitely my favorite! Amazing quality.
Alana says
I recently broke my utility knife and am now realizing that it’s my favorite! I keep reaching for it for a bunch of different things.
becky says
Awesome. Haven’t heard of this company before. But a good knife is as important as good ingredients!
Mona Patel says
I love the way a well made knife turns the seemingly lengthy and daunting task of recipe prep into a pleasurable one! I honestly think ingredients taste better when they aren’t macerated through with my dull older knives. The knife I surprisingly use the most is my utility knife for individual fruit and veggie snacks.
Lindsay says
I still use my wedding knives from 11 years ago that have never been sharpened. They actually say dull knives come it you more so I could use some new ones.

When I need to chop a lot of vegetables for a dish, I always use Japanese knives. They do quick work but I have to be careful because I’ve cut my finger before and it is NOT pretty!

In college, I bought all my kitchen supplies at dollar tree (because #poorstudent). They are so light and dull I couldn’t even cut potatoes! Now, my favorite kind of knife is ANY KNIFE THAT ACTUALLY WORKS.

I’m currently using a JA Henkels set I got for my wedding 11 (!!!) years ago, and finally had them sharpened last summer at a local butcher. I could not believe how dull they were! It would be amazing to add a few really serious knives to my repertoire!

I currently have a set of knives that are rainbow colored. They aren’t the best quality, but they were one of the first things that I bought myself after my divorce — for my new single girl apartment.

I love a good utility knife but since I’m still using the knife set we received for a wedding gift 18 years ago, I most often reach for a steak knife! We couldn’t definitely use a new set!
Jeanie says
My father, years ago, bought me and my sister each a knife set for Christmas. Surprisingly, he did this on his own, without my mother knowing. However, my mom said they were very expensive knives. I have no idea what brand they are; I’ve never seen any markings on any of the knives. Like I said, this was years ago, and I could use new, good knives now.
