This 5-piece handmade Damascus knife set covers the full range of professional kitchen work. It includes five Japanese-style blades — each built for a specific cutting task — and comes with a black leather knife roll for storage and transport.


Blade

Every blade is hand-forged from layered Damascus steel with a twisted pattern. The forge-welding process builds strong edge retention and cutting stability into each blade. Blades range from 13 inches down to 7 inches overall. All five handles measure 4.5 inches — keeping your grip consistent as you switch between blades during prep.

Olive Wood and Black Resin Handles

The handles combine olive wood and black resin. The olive wood adds natural grain character. The black resin seals and reinforces the wood against moisture. Black bolsters sit at the blade junction on each knife for balance and a clean, unified look across the set. Full tang construction runs through every handle.

The Story Behind This Knife

During Japan's Edo period — from the early 1600s to the mid-1800s — professional chefs used a dedicated knife for every single ingredient. A blade used for fish was never used for vegetables. This culture of specialization drove Japanese bladesmiths to develop some of the most refined knife profiles ever made — the Sujihiki for clean slicing, the Nakiri for flat-contact vegetable cuts, the Petty for detail work, and the Gyuto for general prep. Each shape was refined over generations until it reached its most efficient form. This 5-piece set brings those same specialized profiles into a handmade Damascus build.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is this different from the 4-piece olive wood set?

This 5-piece set adds a Utility and Petty knife and uses black bolsters. The 4-piece set uses steel bolsters and includes a Santoku instead.

What does the Nakiri knife do?

It cuts vegetables with a flat, straight-down stroke — no rocking. This gives clean, uniform slices through cabbage, leeks, and root vegetables.

What is the difference between Sujihiki and Gyuto?

The Sujihiki is a narrow slicing knife for meat and fish. The Gyuto is a wider, multi-purpose chef knife for general prep work.

Do all handles match in size?

Yes. Every handle is 4.5 inches — consistent grip across all five knives.

How should olive wood handles be maintained?

Hand wash and dry after use. Apply food-safe mineral oil occasionally to keep the wood from drying out.
