A complete 5-piece kitchen set built around natural wood handles rather than resin — a warmer, more traditional look than the high polish set elsewhere in the collection. Each blade is hand-forged Damascus steel, and the set includes a notably larger chef knife (13.25 inches overall) than found in the other sets, alongside a cleaver and three mid-size blades for general kitchen work.
What’s in the Set
Five blades: a cleaver for heavy chopping and bone-in cuts, three mid-size chef knives in the 11-11.75 inch range for general prep work, and one larger chef knife at 13.25 inches for bigger cutting tasks. The range covers most of what comes up in a working kitchen without needing to reach for a separate tool.
Natural Wood, Not Resin
The handles are natural wood rather than the resin used on some of the other sets in the collection — a different look and feel, generally a bit lighter in the hand, with brass pins securing the scales. It’s a traditional choice that pairs naturally with the forged, hand-worked character of the blades themselves.
Italian Leather Sheaths
Each blade ships with its own Italian leather sheath in a brownish-red tone — a step up from the standard leather used elsewhere in the collection, and built with belt space for real carry if that’s how you plan to use individual pieces.
Handmade to Order
Each set is made to order, typically 5-7 business days before it leaves the shop. Because each blade is hand-forged, expect minor natural variation in the Damascus pattern between pieces. Comparing sets? Our Damascus Chef Set with resin handles offers a different handle material and look if wood isn’t what you’re after, and our Damascus Chef Set, 7 Pieces covers an even wider range if you want the most complete option. See the rest of our handmade damascus chef knives for individual pieces too.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does this set differ from your other 5-piece Damascus chef set? This one uses natural wood handles and Italian leather sheaths, versus the other set’s high polish resin handles — also, this set’s largest blade (13.25″) is notably bigger than the other set’s largest piece.
Will the wood handles need more maintenance than resin? Some — an occasional light oiling helps prevent the wood from drying out over time, which resin handles don’t require.
Is every blade sharpened and ready to use, or do some need finishing? Every blade ships sharpened and ready for real kitchen use.
Can I order individual pieces from this set rather than the full 5? This listing is for the complete set — reach out directly if you’re interested in a single piece instead.
