Why Everyone's Talking About the Senjuro Knife Set
A 16.3cm cleaver and a laser-cut finger hole on every blade turn heavy prep into something you control rather than fight, from Sunday roasts to weeknight vegetables.
Three Blades, Three Different Jobs
Most sets pad the count with blades you never reach for. The Senjuro 3-Piece Japanese Kitchen Knife Set gives you three that earn their place across meats, vegetables and fruit. The 16.3cm cleaver takes bone-in poultry. The 16cm chef knife covers daily prep. The 15cm utility blade handles close work.
Nothing Sticks To The Blade
Food clings to a flat blade. Every Senjuro blade carries a hammered, dimpled surface that breaks the suction, so courgette, potato and apple fall away clean instead of welding themselves to the steel. Fewer stops to peel slices off the knife, and a straighter run through a full board.
Balanced Weight, Roasted Beech Grip
Balance is what stops your hand aching halfway through a board of vegetables. Weight sits evenly from tip to pommel on all three Senjuro knives, so the blade falls where you point it. The roasted beech handles are turned to the natural curve of your hand, warm through a long prep.
Sheathed, Stored And Ready To Move
A knife block takes a corner of your worktop and holds slots you rarely fill. Each Senjuro blade comes in its own leather sheath instead, so the set slides into a drawer — or into a bag for a holiday cottage where the kitchen knives are always blunt.
How to Use Your Senjuro Knives
There is nothing to assemble and nothing to set up. Unwrap the three knives, rinse them in warm water, dry them and they are ready for the board. The only thing worth learning is which blade suits which job, and after one Sunday roast you will not think about it again.

Frequently asked questions
What can I actually use these three knives for?
The cleaver handles meat, bone-in poultry and dense root vegetables. The chef knife covers everyday prep. The utility blade takes trimming and close work.
Is a knife block or a sharpener included?
No block and no sharpener. You get three knives and three leather sheaths, which is everything you need to store the set in a drawer.
What is the finger hole for?
It gives you two grip positions. Hook a finger through it for close control, or hold further back on the handle for leverage on tough cuts.
Can I put them in the dishwasher?
No. Hand wash in warm water with a mild detergent and dry immediately. Dishwasher heat and detergents will damage the edge and the wooden handles.
How long are the blades?
The cleaver is 16.3cm, the chef knife 16cm and the utility knife 15cm. Total lengths are 30.6cm, 30.2cm and 28cm respectively.
Are they too heavy for everyday use?
The set spans 176g to 415g, so you can reach for the lighter utility blade on quick jobs and the cleaver only when you want the weight.
How should I store them between uses?
Slide each knife back into its leather sheath and keep the set in a drawer. Sheathed blades protect the edge and keep the drawer safe to reach into.
Are there age restrictions on buying kitchen knives?
Yes. UK law prohibits the sale of knives to anyone under 18, and age is verified on delivery. Always keep blades sheathed and out of reach of children.
