5-Piece Knife Set - Lan Series (B37)
Reach for this set when you want the whole Lan Series story in one box. Five knives. One shared material, nothing wasted. Whether you're setting up a new kitchen or replacing a battered block you've outgrown, this is the set that covers everything from breaking down a whole chicken to peeling an apple at the bench.
What's in the Set
- 8.5" Chef Knife: Your daily go-to. Rock-chop a pile of onions for a ragu, butterfly a chicken thigh, or work through a dense butternut without the blade tipping forward.
- 8.5" Bread Knife: Stop crushing your loaves. The serrated edge glides through a crusty sourdough or soft brioche with zero compression, and handles tomatoes and cakes just as cleanly.
- 7" Santoku: The push-cut specialist. Flat profile shines when you're slicing zucchini into even coins, shaving radish paper-thin, or working through a pile of mushrooms.
- 5" Utility Knife: The in-between blade. Trim silverskin off a pork fillet, halve a peach, or slice a small roma without reaching for the chef knife.
- 3.5" Paring Knife: The in-hand blade. Segment citrus, hull strawberries, peel a mango close to the stone -- jobs where a long blade just gets in the way.
One Material Story, Five Blades
Every knife in the set shares the same 73-layer Damascus construction with a 14Cr14MoVNb powder steel core, vacuum heat-treated to 62-64 HRC. That hardness is what separates powder steel from conventional stainless: the edge takes a more acute angle and holds it through long prep sessions, so you're not reaching for a honing rod halfway through a Sunday cook. The flowing Damascus pattern is different on every blade. The polished olive wood handles are each unique too -- natural grain, comfortable in a pinch grip or a full wrap.
