The Yi Series 5-piece knife set covers every job in a working kitchen, from the chef's knife down to the paring blade. Each knife is forged from 67-layer Damascus steel over a 10Cr15CoMoV core, hardened to 60±2 HRC, and fitted to a triple-riveted full-tang rosewood handle. Five matched blades, one gift box, ready to give or to build a kitchen around.

This is the full daily lineup: five Yi Series blades that cover every task on a home cook's cutting board, from breaking down a butternut squash to hulling strawberries before dessert. If you're stocking a kitchen properly for the first time, or replacing everything at once, this is the set to start with.
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 uniform.
All five handles are rosewood, triple-riveted to full-tang blades. One continuous bar of steel runs from the tip of each blade through to the butt of the handle, putting the balance right at your pinch grip rather than out in the handle. Rosewood is dense and slow to absorb moisture, and it stays comfortable across a long prep without fatigue.
Already have a few Yi Series pieces? Pick up individual knives to fill any gaps, or add the 7-Piece Set if you want to include scissors and a knife block.
All our knives arrive in a beautiful, premium gift box that's ready to impress. (Whether it's for a very lucky cook, or just for you.)

YI SERIES · B27
A complete kitchen in a single box. The Yi Series pairs an 8.5" chef knife and 7" santoku for the heavy daily work with a bread knife, a 5" utility, and a 3.5" paring knife for everything else. Every blade is 67-layer Damascus over a 10Cr15CoMoV core, hardened to 60±2 HRC with vacuum heat treatment and deep freeze, then ground to 15° per side. Matched rosewood handles, triple-riveted full tang. One look across the set, one feel in the hand.

WHY THE SET
Buying five knives one at a time leaves you with five different steels, handles, and edges. The Yi set is forged as a family: the same 67-layer Damascus, the same 60±2 HRC core, the same 15° edge and rosewood handle on every piece. The chef and santoku handle the bulk of prep, the utility and paring cover the fine work, and the bread knife saws clean through crust. Nothing overlaps, nothing is missing, and the whole set is backed by a lifetime warranty.
WHAT'S IN THE BOX
The set holds an 8.5" chef knife (210mm blade) for rocking, slicing and the bulk of daily prep; a 7" santoku for clean push-cuts on vegetables, fish and boneless meat; an 8.5" bread knife whose serrations saw through crusty loaves and soft tomatoes alike; a 5" utility knife (130mm) for sandwiches, fruit and mid-size work too big for a paring blade; and a 3.5" paring knife for peeling, trimming and detail. All five arrive in a gift box.
WHO IT'S FOR
The gift box and matched finish make this an easy present for a wedding, a new home, or a serious home cook. It is just as good as a clean-slate upgrade: retire the mismatched drawer of old knives and replace the lot in one go. Five blades cover the whole kitchen, the lifetime warranty removes the risk, and the only care it asks for is a hand wash and a dry, never the dishwasher.
