5-Piece Knife Block Set - Master Series (B30)

Reach for this when you're setting up a kitchen properly, or replacing a mismatched block set built up one budget knife at a time. Five pieces cover everything from breaking down a whole chicken to slicing sourdough, stored together in a solid wood holder that looks like it belongs on the bench rather than shoved in a drawer. One gift box, no filler pieces.

What's in the Set

• 8" Chef Knife: Your daily workhorse. Rock-chop a pile of onions for a Sunday ragu, 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 radish paper-thin for a salad, or dicing a capsicum with speed.
• 5" Utility Knife: The in-between blade. Trim silverskin off a pork fillet, halve a peach for a dessert, or slice a small roma without reaching for the chef knife.
• Kitchen Scissors: The set's unsung tool. Break down a spatchcock chicken, snip herbs directly into a pan, or cut through pizza without dragging a blade across your board.
• Solid Wood Holder: Keeps the set together and off the bench clutter. Built to match the sycamore handle aesthetic rather than looking like an afterthought.

67-Layer Damascus, One Shared Core

Every blade in the set shares the same structure. A 10Cr15CoMoV high-carbon stainless core is wrapped in 67 layers of Damascus, then vacuum heat-treated to 60±2 HRC. That hardness is where you earn the set's price: each edge takes a keen polish and holds it through a long session of chopping, so you're not reaching for a honing rod halfway through a prep. The flowing Damascus pattern across all three knives also resists chipping on denser produce like raw beetroot or thick-skinned pumpkin.

Figured Sycamore, Hidden Rat-Tail Tang (Partial)

The handles are figured sycamore, a dense hardwood with a visible rippled grain that looks different on every piece. It sits comfortably in the hand whether you're gripping the chef knife for a power cut or choking up on the utility for finer work. Each knife has a hidden rat-tail tang (a partial tang) with a bolster.
