8-Piece Chef's Knife Set in Hand-Forged Damascus Steel with Coloured Bone Handles and Leather Roll
A comprehensive eight-piece culinary knife set, constructed for precision and durability. Each blade is hand-forged from 512 layers of 1075 high-carbon and 4340 stainless steel, creating the distinctive twist pattern of Damascus steel. The blades are hardened to 55-58 HRC, providing a balance of sharpness, edge retention, and serviceability.
The set features a full tang construction for optimal balance, with each knife fitted with a handle made from colour-treated camel bone and a steel bolster. This collection includes a versatile range of blade shapes and sizes to cover all kitchen preparation tasks, all housed in a durable leather roll for protection and organisation.
This set is suitable for professional kitchen environments, culinary students, or home cooks looking for a complete, handcrafted blade collection.

Before you order
Age 18+ only. By placing this order you confirm you are 18 or over. The courier will request photo ID at delivery and return the parcel if no eligible adult is available.
Carrying in public. Under section 139 of the Criminal Justice Act 1988 (with equivalents in Scotland and Northern Ireland), it is an offence to have any bladed or sharply pointed article in a public place without good reason or lawful authority. Carry your purchase only when transporting it directly to and from a workplace, workshop, fieldcraft course, hunting estate, or other lawful use.
Use. This is a sharp working tool, not a weapon. Cut away from the body, keep fingers behind the edge, sheathe before storing, and keep out of reach of children.
Care. Wipe dry after every use and apply a thin film of mineral or camellia oil to prevent rust — high-carbon and Damascus steels will spot or patina if left damp.
