The Master Series two-piece set pairs an 8.3" chef knife with a 5" utility knife, both forged from 67-layer Damascus steel over a 10Cr15CoMoV core. Hardened to 60±2 HRC and ground to 15° per side, set into figured sycamore handles with full tangs and mosaic brass rivets. Presented in a gift box and backed by a lifetime guarantee.

DESCRIPTION
Two knives cover the work that fills most weeknight cutting boards. An 8-inch chef knife for rock-chopping and breaking down proteins. A 7-inch Santoku for the push-cut vegetable work where a chef knife's curved profile gets in the way. No filler blades you'll set aside after the first use.
What's in the Set
- 8" Chef Knife: Your everyday go-to. Rock-chop a pile of shallots for a pan sauce, butterfly a chicken thigh, or work through a butternut without the blade tipping forward on you.
- 7" Santoku: The push-cut specialist. Flat profile shines when you're slicing zucchini into even coins, shaving fennel paper-thin for a salad, or dicing a capsicum with speed.
67-Layer Damascus, One Shared Core
Both blades share the same construction. A 10Cr15CoMoV high-carbon stainless core is wrapped in 67 layers of Damascus, then vacuum heat-treated to 60-62 HRC. That hardness is where you earn the set's price: the edges take a keen polish and hold through a long prep session without you reaching for a honing rod. The Damascus cladding across both knives also resists chipping on denser produce like raw beetroot or thick-skinned kabocha.
Figured Sycamore, Full-Tang Build
The handles are figured sycamore, a dense hardwood with a visible rippled grain that looks different on every piece. Both knives run a single solid piece of steel from the tip of the blade through to the butt of the handle, so the weight sits right on your pinch grip whether you're going for a power cut or precise slicing work.

MASTER SERIES B30
Two knives, one Damascus core kit
A focused pairing that covers most of the board. The 8.3" chef knife handles the bulk of prep, while the 5" utility knife takes over the small, precise work a full-size blade can't. Both share the same 67-layer Damascus construction, the same 10Cr15CoMoV core at 60±2 HRC, and the same figured sycamore handles, so the two knives look and feel like a true set.
In stock. Ships from Australia.
WHY THE SET
Matched, not mixed
Buying the chef and utility together means both knives share the same Damascus build, the same core steel, the same 15° per side edge geometry, and the same figured sycamore handles. The weight balance is consistent across both, so picking up either one feels familiar. It is the simplest way to cover everyday cutting with two blades that were made to sit beside each other rather than two singles chosen at random.
WHAT'S IN THE SET
An 8.3" chef and a 5" utility
The 8.3" chef knife (210mm blade, 53.5mm tall, 2.2mm spine, 218g) is the workhorse — rocking, slicing, and chopping vegetables, meat and herbs. The 5" utility knife (133mm blade, 115g) bridges the gap between the chef knife and a paring knife: trimming, slicing smaller produce, and breaking down fruit. Both are double-bevel and ambidextrous, ground to 15° per side, with 316/316L stainless cladding wrapping the Damascus over a 10Cr15CoMoV core.
WHO IT'S FOR
A gift, or a kitchen starter
The set arrives in a gift box, which makes it a clean choice for a wedding, housewarming or a cook setting up a first serious kitchen. The two knives cover most home prep on their own, so it works equally well as the foundation of a collection you build out later. Backed by a lifetime guarantee against blade delamination and handle failure.
The difference
Why this set
8.3" Chef Knife
- The all-rounder. 210mm blade, 53.5mm tall, 218g — long enough for big vegetables and proteins, with the height for knuckle clearance and the reach to slice in one pass.
5" Utility Knife
- The detail blade. 133mm, 115g — nimble for tomatoes, citrus, shallots and trimming, where a full-size chef knife is more than the job needs.
Master Series
A complete kitchen, boxed.
