The Senken Imperial is a 16-piece set: eight kitchen knives, six steak knives, kitchen scissors and an acacia block. Blades are high-carbon stainless steel with a 15° double-bevel edge and an etched Damascus pattern; handles are contoured pakkawood with an integrated finger guard. It suits cooks who want a full, coordinated knife station in one purchase rather than buying pieces one at a time. Against German-style sets, the thinner 15° edge cuts more finely but needs more careful handling; the Damascus pattern is cosmetic etching, not forged layered steel, which is the main gap versus premium Japanese lines.

The SENKEN Imperial is a 16-piece Japanese-style knife block set. It includes eight kitchen knives, six steak knives, kitchen scissors and an acacia hardwood block for storage.
The blades are high-carbon stainless steel with a 15° double-bevel edge. High-carbon steel provides the hardness needed to take and hold a keen edge. Each blade is etched with a traditional Damascus pattern.
They give a firm, comfortable grip, and an integrated finger guard adds protection while cutting. The acacia hardwood block keeps the knives and accessories organized and within reach.
