Damascus Pattern Kitchen Knives – high-carbon steel, pakkawood handles

A matching set of sharp knives with a wave pattern along every blade.

A drawer of odd knives means one is always blunt, too small or the wrong shape for the job. This collection gives each task its own blade, from a broad chef's knife and a heavy cleaver to a serrated bread knife and a small paring knife, all in high-carbon stainless steel with a flowing Damascus-style pattern. The pakkawood handles have a rich red-brown grain and a finger guard at the bolster for a steady grip. Buy the full set of eight or add single knives to what you already own.
