Steel & Hardness
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.
Dimensions & Weight
| Piece | Overall | Blade | Handle | Blade Width |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Slicer | 12.2" | 8.2" | 5" | 2" |
| Chef Knife (Large) | 12.1" | 7.5" | 5" | 1.2" |
| Cleaver-Style Chopper | 11.5" | 7" | 5" | 2" |

All measurements approximate; hand-forged pieces may vary slightly.
Care & Maintenance
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.
Personalisation & Engraving
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
About this piece
Hammered Damascus blades, herringbone wood handles.
A complete five-piece kitchen set, hand-forged from Damascus steel and hammered by hand, so every blade shows two textures at once: deep honeycomb hammer marks over a flowing Damascus pattern. The handles are built from interlocking strips of dark rosewood and light olive wood in a herringbone pattern, set behind polished steel bolsters and finished with brass pins and a mosaic pin. Rolled in a brown leather roll.

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, dry right away, and wipe the blade with a little food-safe oil now and then to protect the Damascus pattern.
What's included? Five knives (a slicer, a large and a small chef's knife, a cleaver-style chopper and a utility knife), rolled in a leather roll.
Why the hammer marks? The hammered surface helps food release from the blade and gives every knife its own texture.
Can I have it engraved? Yes, free: up to 20 characters on a blade or on the leather roll.

Hardened true
Each blade is hardened and tempered in controlled cycles, balancing a keen, hard edge with a resilient spine.
03 — Finished
Fitted & inspected
Ground, polished and fitted with its handle, then inspected edge to pommel before it ever leaves the forge.
