Damascus Steel Knife Set, 6-pc (Espresso)

Our new espresso-colored Damascus steel knives are as striking in a modern kitchen as a rustic one, and we cut no corners in making them. Think: 67 layers of Damascus steel. Twelve degree blade sharpness. Rockwell ratings of 60 or higher. The knives themselves boast ergonomically designed pakkawood handles that have been treated with anti-shrinking technology, for added durability. This essential knife set–which includes a honing steel–will both speed up your prep work and level up your cooking prowess.

• Hybrid construction combines fundamental Japanese knife-making techniques with durable German engineering principles.
• Forged blades comprise 67 layers of Japanese Damascus steel for a harder blade–a 60+ Rockwell rating–and an edge that stays sharp longer, for effortless slicing.
• Meticulously hand-sharpened by craftspeople using the three-step Honbazuke method–a process that results in a super-sharp, 12-degree edge.
• Stunning espresso pakkawood handle–infused with resin to increase resistance to cracking–is contoured for added comfort and grip.
• Steel bolster and full hybrid tang construction improve balance for a more controlled cut.

8" Chef's Knife

• Meet your new go-to. Powerful and versatile, our chef’s knife features an astonishingly sharp cutting edge that tapers to a precision tip. With an ergonomic handle and ideal balance, you’ll slice through hard vegetables or finely trim proteins with ease.

8" Serrated Bread Knife

• Our bread knife slices through crusts without crushing them and then glides through the delicate interior. The wide serrations provide grip and smooth cutting action, whether you’re slicing a day-old artisanal loaf or shaping a cake sponge right out of the oven.

7" Santoku Knife

• A true triple threat, our santoku knife makes easy work of chopping, dicing, and mincing. With a shorter blade than a chef’s knife, it’s ideal for fast, precision cuts. The wide face and sheepsfoot design (no point) also make it great for scooping ingredients.

5" Utility Knife

• Our utility knife puts an incredibly sharp edge in a smaller and extremely convenient package. Whether you’re slicing proteins, herbs or a sandwich, this knife is a kitchen workhorse that’s easy for beginners to handle and experts to master.

3.5" Paring Knife

• From peeling and cutting small fruits and vegetables to deveining shrimp, our paring knife sets the bar for precision performance. Short on blade, but long on capabilities, it puts total confidence and control in the palm of your hand.

9" Honing Steel

• Keep your edge with a HexClad honing steel. It’s perfectly normal for premium steel blades—even ones made from Japanese Damascus steel—to feel less smooth in time. Occasional honing helps realign the microscopic “teeth” of the knife edge for optimal cutting performance.
