2-Piece Knife Set - Elegant Series (B38L)
Most nights you only reach for two knives. This pair covers them: the 8.5" Elegant Series Chef Knife for everything on the board, and the 3.5" Paring Knife for anything that needs a steadier hand. It's your first proper Damascus set, and it's all the blade you actually need for weeknight cooking.
What's in the Set
- 8.5" Chef Knife: Your daily driver. Rock-chop an onion, butterfly a chicken breast, or work through a pile of garlic and ginger without the blade slowing you down.
- 3.5" Paring Knife: The in-hand blade. Peel a mango, hull strawberries, core a capsicum, or trim silverskin without hunting for a different knife.
67-Layer Damascus, Shared Across Both
Each blade is built from a 10Cr15CoMoV high-carbon stainless core wrapped in 67 layers of Damascus, vacuum heat-treated to 60-62 HRC. That hardness is where the edge retention comes from: you're not dulling these on a pile of carrots or a block of cheese. The Damascus pattern ripples differently on every blade, so no two sets look quite identical.
Linen Micarta Handle, Full-Tang Build
Both handles are linen Micarta, a composite that doesn't swell or crack the way natural wood can near a sink. It stays grippy when your hands are oily from trimming meat. One solid bar of steel runs from blade tip to handle butt on each knife, so the balance point sits right where your pinch grip lands.
