2-Piece Knife Set - Elegant Series (B38L)
The Elegant Series 2-piece set pairs an 8.5" chef knife with a 5" utility knife — the two blades that handle most kitchen work. Both are forged from 67-layer Damascus over a 10Cr15CoMoV core, hardened to 60±2 HRC, with full-tang Linen Micarta handles. A complete starting pair in a matched gift box.

DESCRIPTION
Most nights you only reach for two knives. This pair covers them: the 8.5" Elegant Series Chef Knife for everything on the board, and the 3.5" Paring Knife for anything that needs a steadier hand. It's your first proper Damascus set, and it's all the blade you actually need for weeknight cooking.
What's in the Set
- 8.5" Chef Knife: Your daily driver. Rock-chop an onion, butterfly a chicken breast, or work through a pile of garlic and ginger without the blade slowing you down.
- 3.5" Paring Knife: The in-hand blade. Peel a mango, hull strawberries, core a capsicum, or trim silverskin without hunting for a different knife.
67-Layer Damascus, Shared Across Both
Each blade is built from a 10Cr15CoMoV high-carbon stainless core wrapped in 67 layers of Damascus, vacuum heat-treated to 60-62 HRC. That hardness is where the edge retention comes from: you're not dulling these on a pile of carrots or a block of cheese. The Damascus pattern ripples differently on every blade, so no two sets look quite identical.
Linen Micarta Handle, Full-Tang Build
Both handles are linen Micarta, a composite that doesn't swell or crack the way natural wood can near a sink. It stays grippy when your hands are oily from trimming meat. One solid bar of steel runs from blade tip to handle butt on each knife, so the balance point sits right where your pinch grip lands.

Two Knives, Most of the Job
An 8.5" chef and a 5" utility cover the daily kitchen between them — one for the board, one for the small, close work. Both blades share the same build: 67 layers of Damascus folded around a 10Cr15CoMoV core, vacuum heat treated and deep frozen to 60±2 HRC, ground to 15° per side. Linen Micarta handles, full tang. A matched pair, not two odd knives.

Why The Set
Buy The Pair, Skip The Guesswork
The chef knife does the volume — rocking, chopping, slicing through the bulk of prep. The utility steps in where an 8.5" blade is too much: trimming, peeling, halving small produce, breaking down a chicken breast. Bought together they share one steel, one heat treatment, one handle. The set arrives in a gift box, so the finish and presentation match across both knives instead of two separate purchases that don't quite line up.
In The Box
What You Get
Two knives plus a gift box. The 8.5" (215mm) chef knife is the workhorse — long enough to rock through onions, herbs and proteins, the blade you reach for most. The 5" utility knife handles the in-between jobs a chef knife and a paring knife both miss: sandwiches, tomatoes, citrus, trimming fat, smaller vegetables. Both carry the 67-layer Damascus blade, 10Cr15CoMoV core and Linen Micarta handle, so the set reads as one piece.
Who It's For
A First Pair Or A Gift
This is the set for a new kitchen, a moving-out gift, or anyone who wants real knives without buying a full block they won't use. The chef-and-utility combination is the practical minimum — two blades that between them handle almost everything. The matched gift box makes it presentable as-is, so it works as a present without extra wrapping or a second thought.
The difference
Why this set
8.5" Chef Knife
- The primary blade. 215mm of edge for chopping, rocking and slicing through the bulk of prep — onions, herbs, proteins, larger produce. The knife you use most.
5" Utility Knife
- The close-work blade. Shorter and nimbler for trimming, peeling, sandwiches, tomatoes and breaking down smaller items where the chef knife is oversized.
