The brass pins run through the full tang, locking the handle firmly in place without any flex or movement. The D2 steel blade is powder coated for a clean matte finish that also helps resist surface rust. D2 is a high-carbon, high-chromium tool steel that takes and holds a sharp edge well — it's harder than most stainless steels used in kitchen knives, which means less frequent sharpening with proper care.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePerfect For\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eD2 Steel Chef Knife Set with Leather Case\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWenge Wood Handle Kitchen Knives USA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePowder Coated D2 Blade Kitchen Knife Set\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFull Tang Handmade Chef Knife Set\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5 Piece Kitchen Knife Set Gift\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChristmas Gift Knife Set for Him\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBirthday Gift Kitchen Knives\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWedding Gift Knife Set\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnniversary Gift Chef Knives\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProfessional Home Kitchen Knife Set\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eD2 steel blade — powder coated, hard-wearing, sharp edge retention\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWenge wood handle — dense, dark grain, brass pin construction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFull tang — solid balance from tip to heel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLeather case included — organized storage for all five knives\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5-piece set — overall lengths 9\" to 12\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e100% handmade — slight variation per knife is normal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: What is D2 steel and how does it compare to Damascus steel?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eD2 is a high-carbon, high-chromium tool steel known for excellent edge retention and wear resistance. Unlike Damascus steel, D2 has a uniform blade finish rather than a layered pattern. The powder coat on this set gives the blade a matte black appearance. D2 holds an edge longer than many stainless steels but requires hand washing and occasional oiling to prevent surface rust.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: What is Wenge wood?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWenge is a dense African hardwood with a naturally dark, straight grain. It's harder than most common handle woods, resists moisture well, and doesn't require staining — the dark color is natural.

D2 steel has high chromium content but is not fully stainless — apply a light food-safe mineral oil to the blade after washing if storing for more than a few days. Sharpen with a whetstone when needed and hone before each use.\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\/ullu-knives\"\u003eUllu 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.
