Open the gift guideinside the bladeMore about Damascus steel
Layered outside. Hard inside.
Thin layers of steel give each blade its rippled pattern. At the center, a harder core steel forms the cutting edge: thin slices, clean cuts, and an edge that's easy to bring back with a honing rod.

- 02 Layers 67On our 8″ chef knife, as stated by the maker. 73 on the nakiri.

good questions
Before you buy
Which set should I choose?
The 3-piece set covers most everyday cooking for one to four people. Choose the 5-piece if you cook most nights or often carve and slice. Compare the sets side by side.
I don't know much about knives. What makes a good gift?
For someone who cooks, the 3-piece set is the safest choice: chef, santoku and paring cover almost everything. For a first good knife, the Starter Gift Set pairs our chef knife with a whetstone. Our gift guide sorts it by recipient.
How long does shipping take?
Shipping is free within the contiguous US. Orders leave a US warehouse within 1–3 business days and arrive 3–6 business days later (5–9 business days in total), with tracking by email.
What if it's not right?
You have 30 days from delivery to return an unused item in its original packaging, with no restocking fee. If an item arrives damaged or defective, tell us within 48 hours and we'll replace or refund it at our cost.
Are your prices real?
Yes. Our prices are the real ones, every day: no inflated “was” price, no fake countdown. Our gift sets cost less than the same items bought separately, and that saving is real.
Can they go in the dishwasher?
Please don't. Hand wash with warm water and dry right away: that's all it takes to keep the edge and the handle in shape. Our care guide takes two minutes to read.
