2-Piece Knife Set - Yi Series (B27)
Most nights you reach for two knives. This pair covers both: the 8.5" Yi Series Chef Knife for everything on the board, and the 3.5" Paring Knife for anything that needs a steadier hand. One gift box, no filler blades. Every task in your weeknight rotation is covered between these two.
What's in the Set
- 8.5" Chef Knife: Your daily driver. Rock-chop a pile of onions, butterfly a chicken thigh, work through a block of pumpkin, or slice roma tomatoes without losing the seeds. The blade you use for 90 percent of your prep.
- 3.5" Paring Knife: The in-hand blade. Peel a mango, hull strawberries, core a capsicum, trim silverskin off a pork fillet, or devein prawns. Tasks where the chef knife is just too much to control.
67-Layer Damascus, One Shared Core
Both blades are 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 edge retention comes from: you won't be dulling these on a pile of carrots or a block of cheese. The Damascus ripples differently across every blade, so no two sets look quite the same.
Rosewood Handle, Full-Tang Build
Both handles are rosewood, triple-riveted to a full-tang blade. One solid bar of steel runs from tip to butt on each knife, so the balance sits right at your pinch grip. Rosewood is dense and slow to absorb moisture, which means it stays grippy and doesn't swell near the sink over time.
