Damascus Knife Sets
A Damascus knife set gives you the full collection in one box at a better price than buying individual knives separately.
Xinzuo Damascus knife sets feature the same 67-layer construction and 10Cr15CoMoV cutting core as our individual knives, forged in Yangjiang and hand-finished so every blade has a unique wave pattern. Each set is curated to cover the essential cuts that every kitchen needs: chef knife for general prep, santoku for vegetables, paring for detail work, and bread knife for crusty loaves. The layered Damascus steel is not just beautiful. It creates a blade that resists chipping while holding a razor edge through daily use. Our Damascus knife sets are available in multiple series with different handle materials and blade counts to match your kitchen knives setup and budget. Whether you are starting a new collection or upgrading everything at once, a Damascus knife set is the smartest way to get premium blades.

Choosing Damascus Knife Sets
A Damascus knife set is the quickest way to a matched, high-performing kitchen without buying blade by blade. Every set here pairs genuine forge-welded Damascus cladding with a hardened cutting core, matched handles, and the same steel across every piece, so your chef knife, santoku and utility knife sharpen, balance and age the same way. Sets run from a 2-piece chef-and-utility pair up to a 5-piece, across two series that are a real choice, not just a price step.
The Mo Series (X06) wraps a 10Cr15CoMoV stainless core in 67-layer Damascus at 60±2 HRC, finished with a burnt-oak handle. It is the everyday Damascus workhorse: tough, easy to live with, and quick to bring back to a keen edge. The Lan Series (B37) steps up to a 14Cr14MoVNb powder-steel core under 73-layer Damascus at 62±2 HRC, with an olive-wood handle. Powder steel is finer-grained, so the Lan holds its edge longer between sharpenings, which suits cooks who would rather cook than sharpen. Both are made in our Yangjiang workshop, and tested in our own kitchen before they go on sale.
Which Damascus knife set should you buy?
Start from how you actually cook. If you want one knife that handles almost everything plus a small blade for detail work, the 2-piece set (8 inch chef plus 5 inch utility) covers it. For more range, the 3-piece adds a 7 inch santoku for push-cutting and precise slicing. If you cook daily and want a blade for every task, the 5-piece is the full kit. Prefer a flat-profile blade for vegetables over a curved santoku? The Mo Series 3-piece is built around a bunka instead.
Mo Series and Lan Series, side by side
| Series | Damascus cladding | Core steel | Hardness | Handle | Sets available |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mo Series (X06) | 67-layer | 10Cr15CoMoV stainless | 60±2 HRC | Burnt oak | 2-piece, 3-piece, 3-piece bunka |
| Lan Series (B37) | 73-layer | 14Cr14MoVNb powder steel | 62±2 HRC | Olive wood | 2-piece, 3-piece, 5-piece |
Are Damascus knife sets worth it?
Yes, when the Damascus is genuine forge-welded steel rather than an acid-etched pattern printed on a single billet, which is the case on every set here. The layered construction is not just for looks: a hard cutting core gives you edge retention, while the softer outer layers add corrosion resistance and absorb shock, so the blade takes daily prep without chipping. Buying a matched set also means consistent geometry and balance across your knives, which a drawer of mismatched blades never gives you.
Common questions
What is the difference between 67-layer and 73-layer Damascus? Both are genuine forge-welded Damascus; the layer count is the number of folds in the cladding, not a hardness rating. The practical difference here is the core steel underneath: the 67-layer Mo Series runs a 10Cr15CoMoV stainless core, while the 73-layer Lan Series runs a finer-grained 14Cr14MoVNb powder-steel core that holds an edge longer. Read more in our 67-layer vs 73-layer Damascus guide.
Is the steel Japanese? No. The Mo has a 10Cr15CoMoV core and the Lan a 14Cr14MoVNb powder steel core, both Chinese steels, and the blades are made in our own Yangjiang workshop in China. We are upfront about it rather than implying a Japanese origin we do not have.
How do I look after a Damascus set? Hand wash and dry straight after use, never the dishwasher, and hone before heavy prep. Stored on a magnetic holder or in the block and sharpened occasionally on a whetstone, a set lasts decades.
What is the warranty? Every Xinzuo knife carries a lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects, you are covered by Australian Consumer Law, and Australian shipping is free over $100.
