Scaled Damascus Kitchen Knife Set, 5 Piece Blue Resin Grip

What Is Our 5-Piece Damascus Chef Knife Set?

Our 5-Piece Damascus Chef Knife Set pairs folded-layer Damascus blades at 58 to 60 HRC with poured blue resin handles, black composite front sections, brass pins, and a decorative rosette fitting on every knife. A leather roll is included.

The layered wave pattern is clearly visible across each blade, with a heavy scaled hammer texture worked over the lower portion. Read the care section before buying, since folded-layer Damascus is built on carbon steels. Browse the wider range in our kitchen knife sets collection.

What Is Included in Our Damascus Knife Set?

• 1 chef knife
• 1 slicing knife
• 1 kiritsuke cleaver
• 1 santoku knife
• 1 petty knife
• 1 leather roll

Every piece shares the same handle build, rosette fitting, and blade finish, so the set reads as one coordinated kit rather than five unrelated knives.

What Is Folded Layer Damascus?

Two steels are forge-welded into a billet, then folded and re-welded repeatedly to multiply the layer count. Etching afterwards darkens one steel and leaves the other bright, which produces the wave pattern running through every blade.

The pattern is structural rather than applied. It goes through the full thickness of the steel, so sharpening the bevel simply exposes the same layers a fraction deeper. It stays visible for the life of the knife.

Folded-layer Damascus is built on carbon steels, which is why it needs more attention than stainless. Compare the options in our knife steel guide. Cooks who want the same blade profiles with no maintenance routine should look at our 5-Piece J2 Stainless Steel Kitchen Knife Set instead.

What Are the Estimated Knife Measurements?

Confirm against the set you receive, since every knife is forged and finished by hand.

What Are the Chef Knife Measurements?

The longest blade in the set handles chopping, slicing, dicing, and general preparation. Compare individual pieces in our handmade chef knives collection.

• Blade length: approximately 8 inches
• Handle length: approximately 5 inches
• Overall length: approximately 13 inches

What Are the Slicing Knife Measurements?

The narrower blade and long edge suit brisket, roast, poultry, and fish, where one clean draw matters more than a rocking motion.

• Blade length: approximately 7.5 inches
• Handle length: approximately 5 inches
• Overall length: approximately 12.5 inches

What Are the Kiritsuke Cleaver Measurements?

The tall blade and angled tip combine cleaver height with a usable point, giving knuckle clearance above the board and a wide face for moving prepared ingredients to the pan.

• Blade length: approximately 7 inches
• Blade width: approximately 2.75 inches
• Handle length: approximately 5 inches
• Overall length: approximately 12 inches

Use it for vegetables, herbs, fruit, and boneless cuts. Avoid bone and frozen food, since a blade at 58 to 60 HRC chips rather than bends.

What Are the Santoku Knife Measurements?

The shorter, flatter profile suits push cutting on a smaller board, and works well for vegetables, herbs, and boneless meat.

• Blade length: approximately 6.5 inches
• Handle length: approximately 4.75 inches
• Overall length: approximately 11.25 inches

What Are the Petty Knife Measurements?

The shortest blade gives the most control for peeling, trimming, segmenting citrus, and detail cuts held in hand rather than on the board.

• Blade length: approximately 5 inches
• Handle length: approximately 4.75 inches
• Overall length: approximately 9.75 inches

Measurements are approximate because every blade is forged and ground by hand, so small variations between individual sets are normal.

What Are the Blade Specifications?

What Does the Scaled Hammer Texture Do?

The overlapping dimples reduce the contact area between steel and food. Air breaks the suction that makes potato, cucumber, and apple slices cling to a flat blade, so cut pieces drop away instead of stacking on the side.

Grind geometry behind the edge affects food release more than surface texture does, so treat the hammered face as a useful addition rather than a complete fix.

The texture also changes how the Damascus reads. Each dimple cuts to a slightly different depth into the layered billet, so the wave pattern appears differently inside every hollow. That is why the blades look busier than a flat-ground Damascus knife.

What Makes the Handles Distinctive?

Each handle pairs poured blue resin with a black composite front section, joined at an angle and secured with brass pins through the full tang. A large decorative rosette sits in the resin section on every knife.

Colour placement in the resin is decided by how the pigment moves during the pour rather than by a repeatable pattern, so no two handles match, including within a single set. The profile flares at the butt, giving the hand something to pull against during longer prep sessions.

Cured resin is non-porous, so the grip stays dimensionally stable in a wet kitchen and needs no oiling or conditioning. All the maintenance on this set is on the blades.

What Does the Leather Roll Provide?

The leather roll gives each blade its own slot, keeping edges apart during storage and transport. Use it for carrying rather than permanent storage, since leather holds humidity against steel and a carbon Damascus set left rolled up for weeks will come out spotted.

How Should You Care for Folded Layer Damascus?

Folded-layer Damascus is built on carbon steels and is not stainless. The routine is short but not optional.

Wash each knife by hand with mild soap and warm water, then dry the blade, pins, and handle immediately. A wet carbon blade left on the board will start to spot within hours.

Apply a thin coat of food-safe mineral oil to the blades after drying, and reapply before any period of storage. Oiling is what keeps the pattern contrast clean and the steel free of rust.

Expect the blades to darken with use, faster if you cut onion, citrus, or tomato. That greying is patina and it is protective. Reddish-brown powder that rubs off is rust and needs removing with a mild abrasive.

Keep the set out of the dishwasher entirely. Cut on wood or a knife-friendly synthetic board rather than glass, stone, or steel, since our cutting board guide covers how much edge damage a hard surface causes. Sharpen when performance drops using our knife sharpening guide, taking care to preserve the hammered texture above the bevel.

The blades arrive sharp. Open the package carefully and keep the set out of reach of children.

Why Choose Our Damascus Chef Knife Set?

Choose our set for its five complementary blade profiles at 58 to 60 HRC, folded-layer Damascus with the pattern running through the steel, scaled hammer texture that helps slices release, poured resin handles no two sets share, rosette and brass pin fittings, and an included leather roll.

Buyers who prefer a natural handle material should compare our 5-Piece Hammered Damascus Kitchen Knife Set with wood handles. Those after copper lines through the pattern can look at our 5-Piece Copper Damascus Chef Knife Set.
