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

Exact measurements for this piece are being added — reach out and we're happy to confirm dimensions before you order.

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

Five hand-forged Damascus blades — including a broad cleaver-style chopper — set in dark rosewood handles capped with curved, polished steel butt ends, each with a forged hanging hole. Rolled in a stitched leather carry case.

Every blade is forged to show two Damascus patterns in one piece: a raindrop-and-scale motif running along most of the blade, giving way to a tight mosaic ring pattern near the spine — a distinctive, layered look that carries across the full five-piece set.

The details: Damascus steel (58–62 HRC) — hand-forged, dual-pattern (raindrop/scale blending to mosaic ring). Full tang construction. Five pieces: chef's knife, cleaver-style chopper, and three graduated utility/paring knives. Rosewood handles with polished steel, curved butt caps and forged hanging holes. Rolled in a stitched leather carry case. Hand wash, dry immediately, light coat of food-grade oil.

A gift worth giving: A complete, matched set with genuine visual presence — the dual-pattern Damascus and steel-capped handles make this one of the more distinctive sets in the collection, whether it's going on your own counter or someone else's.

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's included? Five knives — a chef's knife, a cleaver-style chopper, and three graduated utility/paring knives — rolled in a stitched leather carry case.

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.
