Satake Houcho is one of Sweden’s most beloved Japanese knife series. The focus is entirely on what truly matters: a high-quality Hi Carbon Steel blade and a simple, ergonomic magnolia wood handle that becomes more beautiful over time.
This exclusive 6-piece set comes in an elegant balsa wood storage box. According to Japanese tradition, a yen coin is included – a symbol that should be returned to the giver to avoid bad luck when gifting knives.
