Damascus steel starter set, 2 knives - paring and santoku

Two handmade knives in Damascus steel. A 9 cm paring knife and an 18 cm santoku, each forged with 66 layers of softer steel surrounding a hard AUS-10 core. This layering balances extreme sharpness with durability. Both blades wear the Tsuchime hammered pattern—an ancestral Japanese technique that creates air pockets to reduce drag and prevent food from sticking.

Sharpened to a precise 15° double bevel grind, the thin blades cut cleanly. Ebony handles sit balanced in hand. Bamboo sheaths protect every edge.
