Banshu Hamono Kitchen Shears

Often an afterthought compared to knives and cookware, a good pair of kitchen shears is equally as useful in an active kitchen. Handcrafted in Japan's Hyogo prefecture using time-honored techniques, these Banshu Hamono Kitchen Shears certainly qualify. Beyond serving as a cutting tool, their 8-inch body also features an integrated nutcracker, a bottle opener, and, beyond the kitchen, hilt tabs that can be used to open paint cans.

Hinoki S1 Gyuto Chefs Knife

Hand-forged by third-generation Master Bladesmiths in Sakai, Osaka, this knife is made using pure carbon White Steel #1 — as close as you can come to the tamahagane steel of ancient Japanese swords.

Its hand-carved charred hardwood handle anchors the well-balanced design, with a double-beveled chin to enhance fluidity for both right- and left-handed chefs and a precision front tip meant for scoring meats and vegetables.
