Why you'll love it
The right knife for every job with the Takumi 7-Piece Set.
From the cleaver for heavy chopping to the utility knife for a quick lime, the set has it covered. You stop grabbing whatever's clean and start using the knife that's made for it.
The Takumi knives have olivewood handles, so the whole set looks like it belongs together on the worktop. Every blade has a VG10 steel core inside the Damascus layers, hardened to 60-62 HRC, so the edges stay sharp for a long time between sharpenings.
Every knife in the set comes with a lifetime warranty.

Damascus: 67 layers of stainless steel
Edge: honed to 10-12° per side, for precise cuts with little effort
Care
Hand wash each knife with warm water and a drop of soap, then dry it right away. Never put it in the dishwasher: the heat and detergent dull the edge and damage the handle.
Hone each knife every few weeks and use a whetstone a few times a year, depending on how much you cook.
Store the knives in a knife block or sheath.
Delivery & returns
Free delivery on every order, tracked with Royal Mail. It arrives in 1 to 4 working days.
You have 200 days to return it. Return postage is on you, unless the knife is defective.
Lifetime warranty
Every Galaxy knife is covered for life against defects in material and workmanship. Something wrong with your blade? Send a photo to info@galaxyknives.com and we sort it out.
Not covered: damage from misuse or the dishwasher.
Every blade is forged from 67 layers of Damascus steel around a high carbon core, then hardened to 60-62 HRC. That is why it bites into a tomato skin instead of sliding over it, and why it holds its edge long after a supermarket knife has given up.
A good knife is one of the few gifts that gets used every single day. Every Galaxy knife ships in its own gift box, so it is ready to hand over the moment it arrives.

Free delivery on every order, nothing extra to pay at the door
Hand wash your knife and dry it right after use, that alone keeps the edge in shape far longer. Hone it every few weeks and put it on a whetstone a few times a year, depending on how much you cook.
Can it go in the dishwasher?
No. Detergent and heat dull the edge and damage the handle. Hand wash only, then dry it thoroughly.
