Hammered VG-10 Damascus 5-Piece Knife Set in Gift Box

Hammered Damascus, gift-boxed. The set people remember receiving.

A hand-hammered (tsuchime) finish does more than catch the eye: the small hollows help food release from the blade instead of sticking. Under the texture is a VG-10 steel core folded with 67 layers of Damascus steel, hardened to 58±2 HRC.

Black G10 handles are ergonomic, ambidextrous and unbothered by water, and the five knives arrive in a red-lined presentation box, ready to give.

Why it feels different

• VG-10 core, 67-layer Damascus: a keen edge with a layered, rippling pattern.
• Hand-sharpened 8–12° per side: exceptionally fine cutting.
• Hammered finish: helps slices fall away from the blade.
• G10 handles: balanced, comfortable and moisture resistant.
• EVA-lined gift box: each knife held in its own fitted place.

Care

Hand wash and dry each blade straight after use, then store it so the edge does not touch other metal. Cut on wood or soft plastic boards, never glass or stone. Hone regularly and sharpen on a whetstone when the edge starts to drag. Not for the dishwasher.
