Damascus Steel · 58 to 62 HRC
Blade steel: Damascus Steel
Hardness: 58 to 62 HRC (Rockwell scale)
Hand-forged layered steel folded to reveal a distinctive flowing wave pattern — no two blades are alike. Prized for its hard cutting edge and excellent edge retention. Hand wash, dry immediately, and apply a light coat of food-grade oil to protect the etched pattern.
| Piece | Overall | Blade | Handle | Blade Width |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Slicer | 13" | 8.8" | 4.2" | 1.3" |
| Chef Knife (Large) | 11.6" | 7.5" | 4.4" | 1.6" |
| Cleaver-Style Chopper | 11.7" | 7.6" | 4.2" | 1.8" |
| Utility Knife | 8.9" | 4.7" | 4.2" | 1.6" |
All measurements approximate; hand-forged pieces may vary slightly.
Hand wash only with warm water and mild soap, and dry immediately — never leave a blade soaking or run it through a dishwasher. Wipe on a light coat of food-grade mineral oil after use to protect the steel, and store it dry in a sheath, knife roll, or on a magnetic strip. A few seconds of care after each use keeps a hand-forged edge true for decades.
Add free engraving with the option above — up to 20 characters on the blade, or engrave the leather sheath. Adds 2 business days. Engraved pieces are final sale. For any other engraving request, email us at info@northboundblade.com.

From the forge
Quatre lames en acier Damas forgées à la main et montées sur des manches en palissandre chaleureux, ornés d'anneaux d'ébène et de laiton alternés pour un look distinctif et sur mesure.
Cet ensemble couvre l'essentiel de la préparation quotidienne : un long couteau à découper, un grand couteau de chef, une large feuille de boucher et un couteau d'office agile — chaque lame étant forgée et affûtée à la main, de sorte que le motif de Damas varie légèrement d'une pièce à l'autre.
Chaque pièce quitte la forge prête pour une vie d'utilisation — notre guide d'entretien des couteaux présente les quelques habitudes simples qui permettent de conserver un tranchant forgé à la main.
01 — Forged
Bar stock is heated and hammered to shape by hand — every bevel drawn out at the anvil, never stamped from a sheet.
02 — Tempered
Each blade is hardened and tempered in controlled cycles, balancing a keen, hard edge with a resilient spine.
03 — Finished
Ground, polished and fitted with its handle, then inspected edge to pommel before it ever leaves the forge.
