The Wabi Sabi Kitchen knife set from American master craftsman Jim Dobbler is a selection of some of the most useful knives in the cook’s armoury and in very complimentary sizes. This Gyuto, Nakiri, and Petty set complete with Piotr the Bear wall magnet is the ultimate kitchen knife starter kit.
At the heart of the set is a versatile 265mm Gyuto with a sleek and classy profile with a rigid tapered spine. At the edge the knife is about 25% flat, with a lovely belly that ends in a tight curve before the tip. The blade feels very comfortable on the board with a satisfying weight and balance. The profile lends itself well to push/pull cuts and will rock comfortably for those rock choppers. Balanced for a pinch grip, equilibrium can be found at the “Dobbler Made” mark.
In addition to the Gyuto is a 130mm Nakiri vegetable knife. The profile, paying homage to its Usuba heritage, is very flat with a slight curve just before the end of the blade. At 130mm the blade feels nimble and agile, comfortable working with produce in hand or on the board. The edge is super thin and feels razor sharp perfect for detailed vegetable prep.
Rounding out the set is a 100mm Petty. Next to the Gyuto its one of the most versatile prep knives and makes for a perfect addition to this set. A pointed profile with a similar profile to the Gyuto is found here. It’s a great little knife for hand work and detailed trimming.
The blades are all forged in AEB-L stainless steel, a very quality steel with great edge retention and hardness (64HRC). The blades are all hollow ground to varying degrees, the Gyuto for example is a very subtly hollow ground, while the Petty and the Nakiri are more pronounced as suited to their individual purposes. This hollow ground geometry give the blades a very sharp edge and great performance with regard to slicing.
The handles are made from a combination of Arizona Ironwood, imitation ivory and patinated brass. The combination is stunning!
Fit and finish on these blades is of the highest standard and when paired with the ultra-premium 30cm Piotr the Bear wall mounted kitchen knife magnet in American Walnut you have the ultimate kitchen knife set.
