The HS-164 is a 5-piece Damascus steel chef knife set hand forged from 15N20 and 1095 carbon steel, fitted with black dollar sheet scales, steel busters, and a brass mosaic pin. A thick leather sheath worn on a belt is included. Five blade sizes from 6 to 9.5 inches cover every task from fine slicing to heavy chopping.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eKnife\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBlade Length\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eHandle Length\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eKnife 1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eApprox. 12.5 inches\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eApprox. 7.5 inches\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eApprox. 5.5 inches\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eKnife 2\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eApprox. 15 inches\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eApprox. 9.5 inches\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eApprox. 5.5 inches\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eKnife 3\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eApprox. 13 inches\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eApprox. 8 inches\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eApprox. 5 inches\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eKnife 4\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eApprox. 12 inches\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eApprox. 7 inches\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eApprox. 5 inches\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eKnife 5\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eApprox. 11 inches\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eApprox. 6 inches\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eApprox. 5 inches\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSKU\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHS-164\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePieces\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlade Material\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDamascus Steel (15N20 \u0026amp; 1095 High Carbon Steel)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlade Thickness\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eApprox. 3.5mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlade Hardness\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHRC 55–60\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHandle Material\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlack Dollar Sheet\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBolster\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSteel Busters\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBrass \/ Mosaic Pin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSheath\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLeather (belt-worn)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eConstruction\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHand Forged, Full Tang\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch2\u003eBlade \u0026amp; Handle Detail\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBlade:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hand forged from 15N20 nickel steel and 1095 high carbon steel — two steels chosen specifically for the contrast they produce after etching. The nickel in 15N20 stays bright; the 1095 carbon darkens. The result is a flowing Damascus pattern across each blade that develops through the full thickness of the steel, not just the surface. At 3.5mm spine thickness and HRC 55–60, each blade is sharp enough for precise kitchen work and tough enough for sustained use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHandle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black dollar sheet is a resin-composite material with a deep, consistent black finish that requires no maintenance beyond hand washing. Unlike natural wood, it won't absorb moisture, swell, or develop grain inconsistencies over time. Steel busters reinforce the bolster area, and the brass mosaic pin is hand-set flush into the handle — a detail that marks the knife as individually assembled. The leather sheath is thick and cut for belt carry, ready for outdoor kitchens and camp cooking.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePerfect For\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHome Kitchen Use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOutdoor Cooking\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBBQ and Grilling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCamping Meal Prep\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHunting Trip\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGift for Dad\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGift for Cook\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChristmas Gift\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBirthday Gift\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKnife Collector\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlack dollar sheet handle — deep matte finish, resin-composite, zero maintenance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e15N20 \u0026amp; 1095 Damascus — high contrast pattern, sharp edge, HRC 55–60\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSteel busters + brass mosaic pin — individually hand-assembled construction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLeather belt sheath — included, robust, built for outdoor carry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5-piece set — blade range 6 to 9.5 inches, full kitchen task coverage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFull-tang, 3.5mm spine — solid balance and edge stability\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat makes black dollar sheet a good kitchen knife handle material?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBlack dollar sheet is a resin-stabilized composite — dense, moisture-resistant, and consistent in color and texture across every handle in the set. It performs reliably in kitchen environments where wood handles can swell and crack over time. The black finish contrasts sharply with the Damascus blade pattern, making the HS-164 visually striking without any extra effort.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow sharp are the HS-164 blades out of the box?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach blade is ground and finished before shipping. HRC 55–60 hardness means the edge is sharp enough for clean slicing work straight out of the box. For long-term edge maintenance, use a whetstone or honing rod suited to high-carbon Damascus steel.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCan I use the leather sheath for everyday kitchen storage?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe leather sheath is designed primarily for transport and outdoor carry — it's thick and robust, shaped for belt wear. For daily kitchen storage, a knife roll or magnetic strip is more practical for quick access. The sheath is ideal for camping trips, outdoor kitchens, and hunting where the set needs to be carried and protected.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the difference between the HS-164 and other Damascus chef sets in this line?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe HS-164 uses a black dollar sheet handle — a resin-composite with a deep matte black finish. Other sets in the line use brown dollar sheet, blue dollar sheet, or natural materials like camel bone. The blade steel and construction are consistent across the line; the handle material and color are what distinguish each set.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eExplore More\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/collections\/kitchen-knives-set\"\u003eKitchen Knives Set\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/collections\/chef-knives\"\u003eChef Knives\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/collections\/cleaver-knives\"\u003eCleaver Knives\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/collections\/ulu-knives\"\u003eUlu Knives\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/collections\/fillet-knives\"\u003eFillet Knives\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThis knife is intended for adults 18 years of age or older.
