This two-piece set brings together two popular knives from our JCK Natures Blue Clouds Series. With different blade shape and matching deep navy-blue handles, they make a stylish, practical pair for everyday cooking, offered together at a special set price.

• BCP-1 AUS-10 Tsuchime Hammered Kiritsuke Petty 140mm: A compact knife for peeling, trimming, and slicing fruit and vegetables, chopping herbs, and preparing garnishes. Its relatively narrow blade and pointed Kiritsuke tip offer control for small, precise tasks. The AUS-10 stainless steel core is clad in stainless steel, with a mirror-polished Tsuchime hammered finish.
• BCDP-2 VG-10 Tsuchime Damascus Santoku 170mm: A versatile everyday knife for vegetables, meat, and boneless fish. Its taller blade is useful for chopping and slicing, making it a natural partner to the smaller Petty. The VG-10 stainless steel core is paired with layered stainless steel Damascus cladding, combining a Tsuchime hammered texture with flowing Damascus patterns.

The two knives have different blade constructions, but share the familiar character of the Blue Clouds Series. Their Royal Blue-Purple Pakka Wood handles bring the pair together beautifully, while the contrasting blade finishes give each knife its own personality.

The handles resist water and shrinkage, and both knives feature full-tang construction, a forged stainless steel bolster, and stainless steel handle rivets. Both blades are hardened to HRc 60–61 and have 50/50 double-bevel edges.

The combination of the polished blades and blue handles reminded us of a wide sky and clouds, inspiring the name “Blue Clouds” (青雲). It is a design we hope you will enjoy seeing in your kitchen and reaching for when it is time to prepare a meal.

Use the Santoku for the main preparation and the Kiritsuke Petty for smaller ingredients and finishing touches. Together, they cover a useful range of everyday tasks without making your choice of knife complicated.

For your own kitchen or as a thoughtful gift for someone who enjoys cooking, this set offers two of our popular Blue Clouds knives at an attractive set price. It is also an approachable choice for anyone looking for their first Japanese knife set.

You can choose this set with or without Blue Lacquered Wooden Sayas. If you select the option with Sayas, each knife comes with its own blue lacquered wooden sheath, beautifully complementing the blue handles and covering the blade when not in use. Please select your preferred option when ordering.

Dimensions & Weight

Both knives have 50/50 double-bevel edges suitable for right- and left-handed cooks.

Both knives have stainless steel cores and stainless steel cladding, offering good rust resistance for everyday use. Stainless steel can still rust if left wet, so please wash and dry your knives promptly. With proper care, we hope they will become familiar companions in your kitchen for many years.

• Wash the knives before first use.
• Hand-wash only. Do not put them in a dishwasher or leave them soaking in water.
• After use, carefully wash the blade, bolster, and handle, then dry thoroughly with a soft cloth.
• If you select wooden Sayas, make sure the blades are clean and completely dry before putting them away. Store in a dry place.
• Handle and store the sharp knives carefully, out of reach of children.
• Do not cut bones, frozen foods, or hard shells such as lobster and crab. Avoid twisting or forcing the cutting edge against hard materials.
• We recommend Japanese whetstones for re-sharpening when needed.
