The Hiragana line is a great budget-friendly line that features a beautiful satin finish with durable stainless steel blades. These are perfect for any cooks working in a busy kitchen that require good edge holding steel that won't easily get damaged. 

The short slicer (180mm - 210mm) is perfect knife that many cooks don't realize how versatile they can be until they use one. These are the preferred length for many professional cooks during service, and great for light butchery tasks such as trimming  and portioning smaller cuts of protein like lamb/pork tenderloin etc. For home cooks, it is a nimble back-up for your chef's knife that can comfortably sit out on your board for a meal for two.
