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"
Chef Knife (Small)	9.8"	5.6"	4.2"	1.5"
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.

About this piece

Five hand-forged Damascus blades, several finished with a hand-hammered texture, set in rosewood handles capped with polished steel butt ends.

Every piece leaves the forge ready for a lifetime of use — our Knife Care guide covers the few simple habits that keep a hand-forged edge that way.

FAQ

Is this dishwasher safe? No — hand wash only, dry immediately, and apply a light coat of food-grade oil to protect the Damascus pattern.

What does "full tang" mean, and why does it matter? The blade steel runs the full length of the handle in one solid piece rather than a separate tang inserted into the handle — it's what serious cooks and collectors look for, since it means better balance and a knife that won't loosen at the handle over years of use.

Does the Damascus pattern vary between sets? Yes — every blade is folded and forged by hand, so the wave pattern on your set is unique to that piece.
