5-Piece Knife Set - Yi Series (B27)

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.

What's in the Set

• 8.5" Chef Knife: The one you'll reach for most. Chop an onion, butterfly a chicken thigh, work through a pile of root vegetables without the blade wandering. Your board anchor.
• 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 for a salad.
• 5" Utility Knife: The in-between knife. Trim silverskin off a pork fillet, halve stone fruit, slice a small roma. 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 rather than 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±2 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.

Rosewood Handles, Full-Tang Throughout

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.
