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.

From the forge
About this piece
A 2-piece culinary set pairing a full-size chef's knife with a shorter utility knife — the everyday-workhorse duo for anyone who wants Damascus quality without a full block. Both blades are hand-forged from folded Damascus steel, shaped to reveal a flowing ladder-pattern grain along the full length of each blade.
Each knife is finished with a polished stainless steel bolster and a fine copper accent ring, then a distinct handle: the chef's knife pairs warm wood with a marbled dark green resin butt, while the utility knife carries a bold swirled green-and-yellow resin handle from bolster to butt — a striking, colorful pairing that still reads as one considered set.
The details: Damascus steel (58–62 HRC) — hand-forged layered steel folded to reveal a flowing ladder-pattern grain, no two blades alike. Full tang construction, polished stainless steel bolsters with copper accent ring. Chef's knife: wood-and-green-resin handle. Utility knife: swirled green-and-yellow resin handle. Includes a leather sheath for each blade. Hand wash, dry immediately, light coat of food-grade oil.
A gift worth giving: The everyday pairing — a chef's knife for the big jobs and a utility knife for everything else — finished with color and detailing that stand out on any counter. A strong pick for a cook who wants their daily-use knives to feel as good as their special-occasion ones.
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.
