5-Piece Knife Set - Elegant Series (B38L)
The Elegant Series five-piece set is a complete kitchen in one gift box. Every blade is forged from 67 layers of Damascus steel around a 10Cr15CoMoV core, hardened to 60±2 HRC, and ground to 15° per side. Linen Micarta handles and full-tang construction run through all five knives, so the chef, santoku, utility, paring and bread knife feel like one matched family on the board.

DESCRIPTION
This is the full daily lineup: five Elegant Series knives that cover every station on a home cook's cutting board, from breaking down a butternut squash to hulling strawberries for dessert. If you're stocking a kitchen properly for the first time, or replacing everything at once, this is where to start.
What's in the Set
- 8.5" Chef Knife: The one you'll reach for most. Chop an onion, butterfly a chicken thigh, or work through a dense pile of root vegetables without the blade wandering on you.
- 7" Santoku: The push-cut blade. Flat profile, forward-weighted feel, ideal for slicing zucchini into even coins, dicing capsicum, or shaving fennel paper-thin.
- 5" Utility Knife: The in-between knife. Trim silverskin, halve stone fruit, slice a small roma tomato. Sized for jobs where the chef knife is too much blade.
- 3.5" Paring Knife: The precision tool. Peel a mango, devein prawns, hull strawberries, or segment a grapefruit. Works best in your hand, not on the board.
- Bread Knife: The one nobody thinks about until it's missing. Long serrated blade handles crusty sourdough, soft brioche, and ripe heirloom tomatoes without crushing them.
67-Layer Damascus Across the Board
Every blade in the set shares a 10Cr15CoMoV high-carbon stainless core wrapped in 67 layers of Damascus, vacuum heat-treated to 60-62 HRC. That hardness is what makes these worth the investment: the edge stays sharp through a full week of daily use, not just the first few cuts. The Damascus pattern ripples differently on each blade, so the set looks intentional rather than matched.
Linen Micarta Handles, Full-Tang Throughout
All five handles are linen Micarta, a dense composite that won't swell or loosen near moisture. It grips whether your hands are dry or oily. One continuous bar of steel runs from the tip of each blade through to the butt of the handle, putting the balance point right at your pinch grip instead of in the handle.

Five Knives, One Matched Family
A kitchen rarely needs more than five blades, and these are the five. Chef, santoku, utility, paring and bread knife arrive as one set, each forged from 67-layer Damascus steel over a 10Cr15CoMoV core and hardened to 60±2 HRC. The flowing Damascus pattern and Linen Micarta handles carry across every piece, so your block looks deliberate rather than collected over years. Full tang throughout, ground to 15° per side, backed by a lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects.
In stock. Ships from Australia.
WHY THE SET
Buy It Once, Buy It Matched
Build a kitchen one knife at a time and you end up with mismatched steel, mismatched handles, and gaps you only notice mid-recipe. The five-piece set closes every common job in a single purchase, all sharing the same 67-layer Damascus blade, the same Linen Micarta handle, and the same 15° edge. One material, one feel, one finish across the board. It is the cleaner way to start, and the easier thing to hand someone else.
WHAT'S INSIDE
Five Blades, Five Jobs
Five knives cover the work of a full kitchen. The 8.5" chef knife is the everyday workhorse for slicing, chopping and rocking through herbs. The 7" santoku handles push-cuts on vegetables and proteins with a flatter profile. The 5" utility bridges the gap for sandwiches, tomatoes and smaller produce. The 3.5" paring knife takes the close, in-hand work like peeling and trimming. The 8" bread knife saws cleanly through crusty loaves and soft cake. Each is full tang with a Linen Micarta handle and a 67-layer Damascus blade.
WHO IT'S FOR
The Gift, Or The Fresh Start
This is the set for a new kitchen, a first home, or a cook upgrading from a worn supermarket block. It arrives gift boxed, so it presents well for a wedding, a housewarming or a milestone birthday with nothing extra to wrap. The matched Damascus pattern and Micarta handles make it look the part on the bench, and the lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects means it is built to stay there.
