Sets are great way to go if you are looking to add to or upgrade your knife Collection Buying sets of knives versus individually will save you a lot of money. Individual knives sell for more than by the set. Same goes for add-on items like honing rods, kitchen shears, magnetic knife boards or knife blocks. Start with the biggest knife set that has the knives you want, then add additional ones to make your dream set.

This 7 piece set is a beautiful and functional addition to your kitchen. Each blade features a total of 67 layers of steel.

These layers consist of two out layers made of 316/316L Damascus Stainless Steel and a single inner core made of 10Cr15CoMoV Steel. This sheaths the primary cutting edge in a protective layer of rust resistant steel for greater longevity while maintaining a strong central core.

The 10Cr15CoMoV Steel used in the core is only hardened to a 58-62 HRC on the Rockwell scale which allows for the edge to be very hard but not hard enough to be too brittle. This is important because it allows for the edge to be very fine but not wear out too quickly with normal usage.

The outer 316/316L Damascus Stainless Steel serves two purposes. The primary purpose is to protect the blade core from corrosion. The second purpose is to provide an aesthetically pleasing Damascus pattern on the outer section of the blade.

The handles feature a lovely dark Pakka wood with silver accents. This creates a good contrast between the handle, Damascus pattern and the rest of the knifes construction.

The handle design itself is more round with a slight taper towards the blade. This allows the handle to sit in the hand more naturally, swelling out to fill the palm of the hand making for better control and comfort.

The 8 inch Chef knife is designed for most of your medium to large cutting tasks. The weight of the blade combined with the edge and dip design allow you to cut, slice, and chop meat, vegetables, fruits, and dense materials.

The 8 inch bread knife features a serrated blade which allows it to cut through thick crusts and pastries. This helps preserve the flavor and integrity of whatever youre cutting without smashing it down.

The 7 inch Cleaver is not a bone chopping knife. This variation is closer to the Nakiri-style of cleaver. Great for processing large numbers of vegetables and meat at once.

The 7 inch Santoku knife is best used for chopping, mincing, and dicing. This makes it especially useful for dealing with vegetables, including those that give the Chef knife trouble. It can also be used on meat to produce nice thin slices.

The 6.8 inch Nakiri knife allows you to process large sets of vegetables and is primarily used for dicing, chopping, and slicing. This design is great for those who have a lot of salads or similar dishes to make.

The 5 inch Utility knife deals with smaller cutting tasks that larger blades might struggle with. Peeling fruit, deboning meat, mincing herbs, and other general tasks are all within the abilities of the Utility knife. They allow for better fine tuned control compared to their larger counterparts.

The 3.5 inch Paring knife makes it easier to make things like garnishes while also doing more basic tasks like peeling. Paring knives allow for some of the best control for basic designs.
