Four-Piece Damascus Chef Knife Set with Rosewood Handles and Leather Sheaths
This four-piece set provides a versatile foundation for any kitchen, from professional to enthusiast. Each blade is hand-forged from a 512-layer billet of 1075 and 4340 steels, resulting in the distinct 'Raindrop' Damascus pattern and a durable edge rated at 55-58 HRC.
The full-tang construction ensures excellent balance and control. Handles are crafted from polished rosewood, accented with mosaic pins, providing a comfortable and secure grip during use. Each knife is supplied with its own protective leather sheath for safe storage.
Ideal for a range of culinary tasks, including precision slicing, dicing, chopping, and butchery. The set comprises three different-sized chef's knives and a robust cleaver for heavier work.

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.
