5-Piece Knife Set - Elegant Series (B38L)

This is the full daily lineup: five Elegant Series knives that cover every station on a home cook's cutting board, from breaking down a butternut squash to hulling strawberries for dessert. If you're stocking a kitchen properly for the first time, or replacing everything at once, this is where to start.

What's in the Set

• 8.5" Chef Knife: The one you'll reach for most. Chop an onion, butterfly a chicken thigh, or work through a dense pile of root vegetables without the blade wandering on you.
• 7" Santoku: The push-cut blade. Flat profile, forward-weighted feel, ideal for slicing zucchini into even coins, dicing capsicum, or shaving fennel paper-thin.
• 5" Utility Knife: The in-between knife. Trim silverskin, halve stone fruit, slice a small roma tomato. Sized for jobs where the chef knife is too much blade.
• 3.5" Paring Knife: The precision tool. Peel a mango, devein prawns, hull strawberries, or segment a grapefruit. Works best in your hand, not on the board.
• Bread Knife: The one nobody thinks about until it's missing. Long serrated blade handles crusty sourdough, soft brioche, and ripe heirloom tomatoes without crushing them.

67-Layer Damascus Across the Board

Every blade in the set shares a 10Cr15CoMoV high-carbon stainless core wrapped in 67 layers of Damascus, vacuum heat-treated to 60-62 HRC. That hardness is what makes these worth the investment: the edge stays sharp through a full week of daily use, not just the first few cuts. The Damascus pattern ripples differently on each blade, so the set looks intentional rather than matched.

Linen Micarta Handles, Full-Tang Throughout

All five handles are linen Micarta, a dense composite that won't swell or loosen near moisture. It grips whether your hands are dry or oily. One continuous bar of steel runs from the tip of each blade through to the butt of the handle, putting the balance point right at your pinch grip instead of in the handle.
