6" Carving Fork - Elegant Series (B38L)

Breaking down a whole snapper is where most kitchen knives fail you. The blade is too stiff to follow the skeleton, or too wide to get under the skin without tearing. This fillet knife bends with the contour of the fish, so you can run it along the rib cage of a snapper or pull the skin off a salmon side without tearing the flesh. The narrow tip works around pin bones too.

Built to Bend Without Losing the Edge

The blade is 10Cr15CoMoV high-carbon stainless steel at the core, wrapped in 67 layers of Damascus and vacuum heat-treated to 60-62 HRC. That hardness matters on a fillet knife: you need to feel each pin bone as the blade moves through, and a soft edge goes numb before the second fish. The narrow profile keeps drag low when you're working between skin and flesh, and it holds its edge through a long session.

Linen Micarta on a Wet Board

Fillet knives end up wetter than any other knife in the kitchen. The linen Micarta handle doesn't absorb moisture or swell, so your grip doesn't change from the first snapper to the last salmon. Full-tang construction runs one bar of steel the full length of the knife, which means there's no soft point at the bolster where fish acid and repeated flex would cause a cheaper handle to work loose over time.

Explore the rest of the Elegant Series to build a complete and stylish knife collection. From paring knives to bread knives, each blade is crafted with the same attention to detail and premium materials.

Most nights you only reach for two knives. This pair covers them: the 8.5" Elegant Series Chef Knife for everything on the board, and the 3.5" Paring Knife for anything that needs a steadier hand. It's your first proper Damascus set, and it's all the blade you actually need for weeknight cooking.

What's in the Set

• 8.5" Chef Knife: Your daily driver. Rock-chop an onion, butterfly a chicken breast, or work through a pile of garlic and ginger without the blade slowing you down.
• 3.5" Paring Knife: The in-hand blade. Peel a mango, hull strawberries, core a capsicum, or trim silverskin without hunting for a different knife.

67-Layer Damascus, Shared Across Both

Each blade is built from a 10Cr15CoMoV high-carbon stainless core wrapped in 67 layers of Damascus, vacuum heat-treated to 60-62 HRC. That hardness is where the edge retention comes from: you're not dulling these on a pile of carrots or a block of cheese. The Damascus pattern ripples differently on every blade, so no two sets look quite identical.

Linen Micarta Handle, Full-Tang Build

Both handles are linen Micarta, a composite that doesn't swell or crack the way natural wood can near a sink. It stays grippy when your hands are oily from trimming meat. One solid bar of steel runs from blade tip to handle butt on each knife, so the balance point sits right where your pinch grip lands.

Specifications

• Blade Steel: 67-layer Damascus with 10Cr15CoMoV core
• Hardness: 60-62 HRC (Vacuum Heat Treated)
• Blade Profile: 2-piece set, 8.5" Chef + 3.5" Paring
• Handle: Linen Micarta, full-tang
• Use: Covers everyday board work and all the precise in-hand jobs a chef knife can't.
• Series: Elegant Series (B38L)
• Model: B38L-A2

Complete Your Set

Add the Elegant Series 7" Santoku for push-cut vegetable prep, or pick up the 5" Utility Knife for the tasks that fall between these two blades.

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.

Specifications

• Blade Steel: 67-layer Damascus with 10Cr15CoMoV core
• Hardness: 60-62 HRC (Vacuum Heat Treated)
• Blade Profile: 5-piece set, 8.5" Chef + 7" Santoku + 5" Utility + 3.5" Paring + Bread Knife
• Handle: Linen Micarta, full-tang
• Use: A full kitchen lineup for daily chopping, push-cut vegetable prep, mid-size tasks, in-hand detail work, and bread slicing.
• Series: Elegant Series (B38L)
• Model: B38L-A5

Reach for this before you reach for the whetstone. A honing rod doesn't remove steel; it realigns the edge that's folded over from ordinary use. Five or six passes before a prep session and your Elegant Series knife cuts the way it did the week you bought it.

Maintain the Edge You Already Have

Your Damascus blade's edge doesn't go dull so much as it goes sideways. Microscopic bends accumulate with every session on the board, and that's what makes the knife push food instead of slicing through it. Running the rod along the edge a few times straightens it back without thinning the steel the way a stone does. Do it regularly and your stone sessions become a quarterly event instead of a weekly one.

Specifications

• Use: Honing and edge realignment for Elegant Series knives between whetstone sharpening sessions.
• Series: Elegant Series (B38L)
• Model: B38L-MDB

Reach for this when the roast comes out of the oven and needs to be carved without the whole joint rocking around on the board. A carving fork does one thing: keeps the meat still while the knife does the work. Two tines in the right place and you're slicing clean instead of chasing a leg of lamb across the bench while your guests are waiting.

Control While You Carve

The two long tines anchor a Christmas ham, a rolled pork shoulder, or a whole roast chicken without slipping or tearing the meat. They're spaced to give you a stable, two-point hold, so the joint doesn't rock forward when your carving knife pushes through. The tines are built from the same 10Cr15CoMoV high-carbon stainless core used across the Elegant Series, vacuum heat-treated to 60-62 HRC and wrapped in 67 layers of Damascus cladding. At that hardness, they stay true under the pressure of a dense lamb shoulder without flexing over time.

Linen Micarta Handle, Full-Tang

The handle matches the rest of the Elegant Series: linen Micarta composite that won't swell or crack near moisture. When you're carving at the table in front of guests, the fork and carving knife look like a set. Full-tang construction runs the steel all the way through the handle, so there's no flex point where the tines meet the grip. You get the force you need at the tip without anything shifting.

Specifications

• Blade Steel: 67-layer Damascus with 10Cr15CoMoV core
• Hardness: 60-62 HRC (Vacuum Heat Treated)
• Blade Profile: 6-inch carving fork, two-tine
• Handle: Linen Micarta, full-tang
• Use: Steadying a Christmas ham, leg of lamb, rolled pork shoulder, or whole roast chicken while you carve with a slicing or chef knife.
• Series: Elegant Series (B38L)
• Model: B38L-DRC

Complete Your Set

Pair it with other pieces in the Elegant Series for a carving set that matches on the table.

Stop crushing your crusty sourdough. A serrated blade with the right set of teeth cuts through a hard crust and a soft crumb in one forward stroke, no pressing required. This 8-inch bread knife is long enough to clear a wide boule in a single pass without having to restart at the heel.

The Serrated Edge Advantage

Serrations grip the crust where a straight edge would slide and compress. You draw the blade back and the teeth do the work, so the crumb stays intact instead of squashing flat. The same principle applies on brioche, on a crusty baguette, and on ripe heirloom tomatoes where a straight blade just pushes the skin around. Light pressure, clean cut.

Damascus Steel, Linen Micarta Handle

The core is 10Cr15CoMoV high-carbon stainless steel, wrapped in 67 layers of Damascus and vacuum heat-treated to 60-62 HRC. That hardness means the serrations stay sharp far longer than a soft-steel bread knife would. The linen Micarta handle runs full-tang all the way to the butt, so the knife doesn't feel front-heavy when you're drawing it back through a wide loaf on a board. It's a bread knife that looks good on the bench, not hidden in a drawer.

Specifications

• Blade Steel: 67-layer Damascus with 10Cr15CoMoV core
• Hardness: 60-62 HRC (Vacuum Heat Treated)
• Blade Profile: 8-inch bread knife, serrated edge
• Handle: Linen Micarta, full-tang
• Use: Slicing sourdough, baguettes, brioche, and ripe tomatoes where a straight edge compresses instead of cuts.
• Series: Elegant Series (B38L)
• Model: B38L-MB

Complete Your Set

Pair it with other pieces in the Elegant Series for a full kitchen lineup that shares the same Damascus build and linen Micarta handle throughout.

Reach for this when you're breaking down a whole chicken and need to split the carcass clean through the rib joint, or when a bone-in lamb shoulder is standing between you and Sunday dinner. The 6.5-inch Butcher's Cleaver is built to cleave, not slice. Heavy spine, short blade, all the weight where you need it.

Built for the Joint

A bone chopper lives or dies on its mass. This one carries a thick, heavy spine that drives the edge through cartilage and small bones with a single confident stroke, so you're not sawing and bruising the meat. The short 6.5-inch profile keeps the blade controllable over a cutting board, and the full-tang construction means every gram of that weight sits behind your grip, not out at the tip.

Damascus Cladding, Hardened Core

The core is 10Cr15CoMoV high-carbon stainless, vacuum heat-treated to 60-62 HRC. That hardness is rare on a bone knife for a reason: it takes a keen edge and holds it through a pile of chicken carcasses, where softer cleavers roll and dent. Wrapped in 67 layers of Damascus cladding for chip resistance on the shoulder of the blade, where most of the impact lands. The linen Micarta handle won't loosen with repeated heavy strokes, and it grips whether your hands are dry or wet with juices.

Specifications

• Blade Steel: 67-layer Damascus with 10Cr15CoMoV core
• Hardness: 60-62 HRC (Vacuum Heat Treated)
• Blade Profile: 6.5-inch Butcher's Cleaver / Bone Chopper
• Handle: Linen Micarta, full-tang
• Use: Splitting poultry carcasses and cleaving through small bone-in joints like lamb shoulders and chicken thighs.
• Series: Elegant Series (B38L)
• Model: B38L-KG

Complete Your Set

Pair it with other pieces in the Elegant Series for the prep work once the joints are split, including a chef knife for board work and a smaller blade for trimming silverskin and tissue after the cleaver is done.

This one belongs on the table, not the cutting board. When a ribeye or a rack of lamb chops lands in front of a guest, the knife they pick up should do the cutting without any effort on their part. The 5-inch Elegant Series Steak Knife has a blade that stays sharp through a full dinner service, so nobody is sawing.

The Right Tool for the Table

A steak knife is a single-task blade. It doesn't chop onions or break down a chicken. It cuts through a rested sirloin or a grilled lamb cutlet cleanly, at an angle, on a dinner plate. The 5-inch length is right for that job: enough reach to cross a thick-cut steak in one stroke, compact enough to handle without bumping the wine glass. The 10Cr15CoMoV core is vacuum heat-treated to 60-62 HRC, so the edge doesn't fade halfway through a table of four.

Damascus Steel at Dinner

The blade is built from 67 layers of Damascus cladding over that hard core. At the table, that matters twice: the layered steel protects the edge from the micro-chips that come with plate contact, and the flowing Damascus pattern looks like it belongs on a set dinner table. The linen Micarta handle is weighted and full-tang, which means the knife doesn't tip awkwardly when you're cutting at an angle with a full plate underneath.

Specifications

• Blade Steel: 67-layer Damascus with 10Cr15CoMoV core
• Hardness: 60-62 HRC (Vacuum Heat Treated)
• Blade Profile: 5-inch steak knife
• Handle: Linen Micarta, full-tang
• Use: At-table cutting of steaks, chops, and grilled proteins on a plate.
• Series: Elegant Series (B38L)
• Model: B38L-NP

Complete Your Set

Pair it with other pieces in the Elegant Series to carry the same Damascus build and linen Micarta handle from your prep bench to the dinner table.

Reach for this set when you want to stop thinking about which knife to grab. The 8.5" Chef handles your board work, the 7" Santoku takes over for push-cutting and fine vegetable prep, and the 5" Utility fills the gap between them. Three knives in one gift box, and every task on your cutting board is covered.

What's in the Set

• 8.5" Chef Knife: The anchor of the set. Rock-chop a pile of onions, break down a whole chicken, or work through dense root vegetables without the blade stalling.
• 7" Santoku: The push-cut specialist. Its flat profile shines on zucchini coins, capsicum dice, or paper-thin radish for a salad. Lighter and more nimble than the chef knife on delicate produce.
• 5" Utility Knife: The in-between blade. Trim silverskin off a pork fillet, halve stone fruit, or slice a small tomato without reaching for the chef knife.

One Damascus Core, Three Knives

Every blade shares the same structure: a 10Cr15CoMoV high-carbon stainless core wrapped in 67 layers of Damascus, vacuum heat-treated to 60-62 HRC. At that hardness, the edge takes a keen polish and holds it through a long prep session. You won't be honing after every onion. The flowing Damascus pattern looks different on every knife in the set, which is part of what makes them worth leaving out on the bench.

Linen Micarta, Full-Tang

The handles are linen Micarta, a layered composite that doesn't absorb moisture or loosen near a sink. It's comfortable whether you're gripping the chef knife for a power cut or choking up on the utility for something more controlled. Full-tang construction means one bar of steel runs the length of each knife, so the balance point is right where it should be.

Specifications

• Blade Steel: 67-layer Damascus with 10Cr15CoMoV core
• Hardness: 60-62 HRC (Vacuum Heat Treated)
• Blade Profile: 3-piece set, 8.5" Chef + 7" Santoku + 5" Utility
• Handle: Linen Micarta, full-tang
• Use: A complete daily prep lineup for rock-chopping, push-cut vegetable work, and mid-size in-hand tasks.
• Series: Elegant Series (B38L)
• Model: B38L-A3

Complete Your Set

Pair this trio with the Elegant Series 3.5" Paring Knife for peeling, segmenting citrus, and the small in-hand jobs that a utility knife is still slightly too large for.
