8-Piece Damascus Steel Chef Knife Set with Camel Bone & Micarta Handles and Leather Sheaths
This comprehensive eight-piece knife set is built around hand-forged Damascus steel blades. Each blade is constructed from 512 layers of 1075 high-carbon and 4340 stainless steels, featuring a distinctive 'fire' pattern and a Rockwell hardness of 55-58 HRC.
The full-tang handles are a composite of polished camel bone and durable black micarta, accented with a mosaic pin and a steel bolster for balance and control. Each knife is supplied with its own individual leather sheath to protect the blade edge when not in use.
The set provides a versatile toolkit for a range of culinary tasks, from fine peeling and utility work to heavy chopping with the included cleaver and santoku.

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.
Shipping. UK addresses only. Signature and photo ID required at delivery. We cannot ship to PO Boxes, parcel lockers, or addresses outside the UK.
