2-Piece Knife Set - Master Series (B30)
Two knives cover the work that fills most weeknight cutting boards. An 8-inch chef knife for rock-chopping and breaking down proteins. A 7-inch Santoku for the push-cut vegetable work where a chef knife's curved profile gets in the way. No filler blades you'll set aside after the first use.
What's in the Set
- 8" Chef Knife: Your everyday go-to. Rock-chop a pile of shallots for a pan sauce, butterfly a chicken thigh, or work through a butternut without the blade tipping forward on you.
- 7" Santoku: The push-cut specialist. Flat profile shines when you're slicing zucchini into even coins, shaving fennel paper-thin for a salad, or dicing a capsicum with speed.
67-Layer Damascus, One Shared Core
Both blades share the same construction. A 10Cr15CoMoV high-carbon stainless core is wrapped in 67 layers of Damascus, then vacuum heat-treated to 60-62 HRC. That hardness is where you earn the set's price: the edges take a keen polish and hold through a long prep session without you reaching for a honing rod. The Damascus cladding across both knives also resists chipping on denser produce like raw beetroot or thick-skinned kabocha.
Figured Sycamore, Full-Tang Build
The handles are figured sycamore, a dense hardwood with a visible rippled grain that looks different on every piece. Both knives run a single solid piece of steel from the tip of the blade through to the butt of the handle, so the weight sits right on your pinch grip whether you're going for a power cut or precise slicing work.
