Sharpcraft Damascus Everyday Kitchen Set 5 Piece

The Everyday Kitchen Set covers every meal a family cooks. The 8-inch chef knife and 7-inch santoku do the chopping, the 6.5-inch nakiri push-cuts vegetables, the 5-inch utility knife handles the in-between jobs and the 3.5-inch paring knife does the detail work. All five are hand-folded Damascus with black micarta handles, red liners and steel pins — made to be used hard, washed by hand and put back to work.

MATERIALS

Every blade in this set is hand-folded Damascus steel, each pattern unique — no two blades, and no two sets, are ever exactly alike. The steel is hardened to 58–60 HRC, so the edge stays sharp through long prep sessions and comes back keenly with a hone. Every knife is full tang: the steel runs the whole length of the handle, pinned in place, so the knife is balanced and will not loosen with use. The handles are black micarta, red liners, steel pins, shaped and polished by hand to sit comfortably in a working grip. Each blade carries the gold-script Sharpcraft etching. The set rolls up in a hand-stitched dark brown leather roll bag that protects the edges and keeps the set together, at home or on the road.

HOW IT’S MADE

1. Layers of steel are stacked and forge-welded together in the forge, then folded over and over until the billet holds 67 layers.
2. The layered billet is forged to shape — each blade profile is hammered out by hand, not stamped.
3. The bevels are ground by hand, and the edge is thinned and shaped for its job, whether that is chopping, push-cutting or slicing.
4. Each blade is heat-treated and tempered to 58–60 HRC, hard enough to hold an edge and tough enough for daily work.
5. The blade is polished to bring out the wavy Damascus pattern — the folding made it, the polish reveals it.
6. The handle scales are fitted to the full tang, shaped, pinned and polished by hand.
7. Each knife is honed, tested on paper and board, and checked edge to tip before it leaves the workshop.
8. The leather roll bag is cut, stitched and finished by hand, and the set is rolled up ready to use.

All lengths and weights are approximate design targets. Each knife is handcrafted, so the Damascus pattern and handle grain will vary slightly from knife to knife — that is the mark of a handmade piece, not a flaw.

WHO IT’S FOR

Built for busy family kitchens — for the cook who makes breakfast, lunch and dinner with the same set and wants knives that stay sharp between sharpenings. The micarta handles grip well even with wet hands, and the five profiles mean the right knife is always within reach.

CARE

Hand wash with warm water and mild soap, dry immediately, and oil the blades and handles lightly from time to time. Do not put in the dishwasher. Store rolled in the leather roll bag. Hone regularly and sharpen on a whetstone when the edge needs it.
