Description & SpecificationsCraftsmanship, materials & dimensions
The Awabi Damascus chef knife set brings together five essential Japanese-style kitchen knives, each built around a VG-10 super steel core and finished with 67 layers of Damascus steel. Paired with a distinctive abalone shell resin handle, every knife is lightweight, well balanced and razor sharp, making this VG10 Damascus knife set a beautiful and practical upgrade for any kitchen.
This 5-piece chef knife set covers everyday prep from start to finish. The 8" chef's (gyuto) knife is your go-to for slicing, dicing and chopping; the 7" santoku excels with vegetables, fish and boneless proteins; the 6" boning knife works cleanly around joints and trims meat and poultry; the 5" utility knife handles sandwiches, herbs and smaller produce; and the 3.5" paring knife is made for peeling, trimming and fine detail work. Each knife comes with its own knife guard/sheath, and the whole set arrives in a gift/storage box.
Each blade pairs a VG10 cutting core with premium high-carbon stainless steel cladding and a 67-layer Damascus finish, rated at 60+ HRC for strong edge retention. The double-bevel edge is sharpened to a 12–15° angle for consistent, clean cuts, and the full-tang construction runs from tip to heel for stability. A stainless steel bolster and an ergonomic, lightweight abalone resin handle give you comfort and confident control, while hand-forged artisan craftsmanship gives every knife its own character.
Whether you are a passionate home cook or a working professional, this Japanese Damascus kitchen knife set is designed for daily use. The balanced handles reduce fatigue during long prep sessions, and the sharp VG10 edges make light work of everything from delicate herbs to roasts, so you can cook with more precision and enjoy every cut.
Presented in its gift box with protective sheaths, the Awabi set makes a memorable gift for home cooks and chefs alike. It is a thoughtful choice for a wedding or housewarming gift, a special anniversary gift, or a standout Christmas present for the food lover in your life.
To keep your Damascus steel knives at their best, hand wash them with warm, soapy water, dry them immediately after washing, and store them safely with the blade edge protected using the included sheaths.
