Japanese Damascus Shinku 2-Piece Performance Set – 7.5-Inch (19 cm) & 7.9-Inch (20 cm) Precision Blades
The Shinku 2-Piece Performance Set is ideal for established kitchen professionals and those aspiring to become one. Each blade supports clean slicing, smooth chopping, and refined handling across vegetables, meat, and fish, making it a reliable choice for daily culinary tasks.
The blades measure 19 cm (7.5 in) for the Cleaver and 20 cm (7.9 in) for the Chef Knife. Each knife features 67 layers of Damascus steel surrounding a VG-10 core. Flat grinding on both sides ensures controlled, even cutting, while the uncoated surfaces allow direct contact with ingredients for natural feedback. Grinding angles of 8° provide precise cuts and support left- and right-handed users.
With total lengths corresponding to blade and handle combination, each knife feels balanced and composed in hand. Handles range from 10.5–12.5 cm and are made from colored resin with selected maple root wood, offering secure, ergonomic grips for fatigue-free handling.
This set reflects quiet precision, durability, and long-term usability through disciplined construction. Personalized engraving is available for names or initials, with each engraved order delivered in a complimentary gift box.

Traditional Cookware Falls Short
Most pans are designed to fail — forcing you into an endless cycle of replacement.
Short Product Lifespan
Non stick pans last only 2 to 3 years. The coating breaks down at high heat, can release harmful chemicals, and eventually peels, leading to constant replacement.
Easily Scratched by Utensils
Other pans get damaged quickly by everyday cooking utensils. Spatulas and tongs can scratch the surface, causing the non-stick coating to wear down faster and reducing overall performance.
Inconsistent Heat Distribution
Standard non stick and ceramic pans create hot spots and cold zones, making consistent, professional quality results impossible.
One pan for Life
Every detail is considered. Every material is chosen for performance and safety.
Stonvale is built without PFAS, PFOA, PTFE, or synthetic non-stick coatings. Unlike traditional pans that depend on chemical surface layers, our cooking surface is solid titanium with nothing sprayed on and nothing designed to wear down over time.
Instead of applying a coating over aluminum, Stonvale uses a true titanium cooking surface. This delivers natural food release without relying on fragile chemical treatments that can scratch, peel, or degrade.
Many coated pans have strict heat limits because their surfaces begin to break down under high temperatures. Titanium maintains its scructural integrity during serious cooking heat without depending on a synthetic layer to perform.
A multi-layer core distributes heat evenly across the entire surface. This redcues hot spots and helps deliver consistent cooking results from the center of the plan to the outer edges.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about Stonvale titanium cookware.
Unlike traditional non-stick pans that rely on chemical coatings like PTFE (Teflon), Stonvale pans are made from solid aerospace-grade titanium. The surface is naturally non-stick and actually improves with use — no chemicals, no coatings, no compromise.
Absolutely. Stonvale pans contain zero PFAS, PTFE, lead, cadmium, or any other harmful substances. Titanium is the same biocompatible material used in medical implants. There is no chemical transfer to your food — ever.
Yes! Unlike coated pans, titanium can handle metal spatulas, whisks, and tongs without scratching or damage. The hand-hammered surface is incredibly resilient.
Stonvale pans work on every heat source: gas, electric, ceramic, induction, oven (up to 1000°F), grill, and even open campfire. One pan, total versatility.
Yes, Stonvale pans are fully dishwasher safe. However, a quick hand wash with warm water is usually all you need — food slides right off the titanium surface.
We stand behind every pan we make. If your Stonvale pan develops any manufacturing defects within 25 years of purchase, we'll replace it free of charge. No fine print, no hassle.
Unlike traditional non-stick pans that rely on chemical coatings like PTFE (Teflon), Stonvale pans are made from solid aerospace-grade titanium. The surface is naturally non-stick and actually improves with use — no chemicals, no coatings, no compromise.
Titanium is 45% lighter than steel. A 12" Stonvale pan weighs just 2.1 lbs — roughly half the weight of a comparable cast iron or stainless steel pan. Comfortable enough for everyday cooking.
No seasoning required. Stonvale pans are ready to use out of the box. The titanium surface naturally develops a better non-stick patina over time with regular cooking — it literally gets better the more you use it.
