This pair covers them: the Retro Series Chef Knife for everything on the board, and the Utility Knife for the tasks where a full 8.5 inches is too much blade. It's a lean, gift-ready starting point for the Retro Series, with no filler pieces you'll leave in a drawer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's in the Set\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e8.5\" Chef Knife:\u003c\/strong\u003e The daily anchor.

Vacuum heat-treated to 60-62 HRC, the core takes a keen edge and \u003cem\u003eholds\u003c\/em\u003e it through extended sessions. The outer layers add corrosion resistance, so neither knife demands the obsessive dry-and-oil routine that a purely carbon blade requires.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Retro Handle\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe octagonal shape is what separates this series from everything else on the market. Deep red wood paired with genuine black buffalo horn at the collar. It's a traditional Japanese profile that locks in your grip whether you're pinching the blade for control or wrapping the full hand around for a power cut. Full tang on both knives. No rattle, no flex, no hot spots after a long session.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Steel:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3-Layer 10Cr15CoMoV Composite Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHardness:\u003c\/strong\u003e 60-62 HRC (Vacuum Heat Treated)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Profile:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2-piece set: 8.5\" Chef + 5\" Utility\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Red Wood \u0026amp; Black Buffalo Horn (Octagonal), full tang\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUse:\u003c\/strong\u003e A two-knife daily prep lineup covering everything from large proteins and rock-chopping to mid-range trimming and slicing tasks.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries:\u003c\/strong\u003e Retro Series (PM8S)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eModel:\u003c\/strong\u003e PM8S-A2C\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eComplete Your Set\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdd the Retro 7\" Santoku (PM8S-RS) for dedicated push-cut vegetable work, or the Retro 4\" Paring Knife (PM8S-SG) for in-hand jobs like peeling and trimming where neither of these blades is the right size.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Xinzuo Australia","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44212313882675,"sku":"PM8S-A2C","price":136.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0668\/0441\/6563\/files\/2-piece-knife-set-retro-series-pm8s-5462957.jpg?v=1776590951","url":"https:\/\/xinzuo.com.au\/products\/2-piece-knife-set-retro-series-pm8s-a2c","provider":"Xinzuo Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
