This fine looking set of five Kitchen knives from HOBO, is priced at just £42.99, a decent price for a quality knife set but not the cheapest out there. Are they worth the difference?
In the impressive wooden presentation box are the Japanese style knives themselves, and a short user and care guide. The set consists of an 8"Chef's Knife, 8" Slicer Knife, 7" Santoku Knife, 5" Santoku Knife and a 3.5" Paring Knife, all of which are mega sharp, so take care when handling them. The knives all come with plastic tip and blade protectors in place. Build quality throughout, both for the knives and even the presentation box is first-rate and this is clearly a prestige set. The remarkable engraved finish to the blades makes them look all the more impressive.
This set has a Japanese feel to it and two of the knives are described as being Santoku knives. So what is a Santoku knife? It seems it is a general-purpose Japanese kitchen knife, deriving from 三徳包丁, or ‘three virtues’ in Japanese. The Santoku knife is shorter, lighter, thinner, and has more hardened steel in the tradition of Samurai sword steel than a traditional Western chef’s knife. Of course, how far this new knife set embodies this, I cannot say, I can only say that they are all super sharp.
The knives all have ergonomically designed Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene textured non-slip riveted handles, high carbon Japan stainless steel blades, 1 with a cutting angle of 16-18° per side. The blades have a subtle Damascus pattern surface and have an anti-corrosion, anti-rust finish. The knives are all well balanced and sit nicely in the hand.
Caring for the knife, as with any precision instrument, is important and although would guess these are dishwasher safe I will still wash them carefully in warm water with a soft cloth. When sharpening a knife to always do so at an angle of 15 degrees to the whetstone or sharpening tool.
What all this comes down to is that this perhaps one of the sharpest and easiest to use kitchen knife set I have ever handled. There may be better, I am no chef and don’t have much experience of kitchen knives, but I suspect you would have to look long and hard to find a better set and may much more than the price asked for this one. The only drawback for me is the lack of a magnetic wall mount, something I would be happy to pay more for.
This is a spectacular looking super sharp knife set that looks as good in the kitchen as the display case.
