African Rosewood Handle D2 Steel Kitchen Knife Set 5 Pcs Leather Sheath | HS-119

Five different knives, five different jobs — this D2 steel kitchen set covers the full range of prep work from bread slicing to fine paring. Each blade is hand-forged from high-carbon D2 tool steel and fitted with an African Rosewood handle that brings a warm, dark grain to the kitchen counter. The leather sheath keeps all five blades protected when not in use.

Handle & Blade Details

African Rosewood is a dense, close-grained exotic hardwood with a naturally rich, dark color and a fine texture that feels smooth and solid in the hand. It holds up well in kitchen environments with proper care and develops a deeper luster over time. D2 tool steel sits at HRC 60–62 — it holds a sharp edge longer than most kitchen steels and resists wear well. It requires hand washing and occasional oiling since it has high chromium content but is not fully stainless. Each blade is hand-ground to a sharp working edge and finished individually.

FAQ

Q: What five knives are included in this set?
The set includes a paring knife (6"), a cleaver (7"), a chef knife (13"), a fillet knife (13"), and a bread knife (13"). Each knife is designed for a specific kitchen task, making this a complete working kitchen set rather than a matched set of similar blades.

Q: Why choose D2 steel for kitchen knives?
D2 is a high-carbon, high-chromium tool steel that reaches HRC 60–62 — significantly harder than most stainless kitchen steels. This means better edge retention and less frequent sharpening. The trade-off is that D2 requires hand washing and occasional oiling to prevent surface rust, since it is not fully stainless.

Q: What is African Rosewood?
African Rosewood is an exotic hardwood with a naturally dark, reddish-brown color and a fine, close grain. It's denser than most common handle woods, resists moisture well, and develops a richer appearance with regular handling and occasional oiling.

Q: How do I sharpen D2 steel blades?
D2 steel is harder than most kitchen steels, so it benefits from diamond sharpening stones rather than standard whetstones. Use a low grit (around 500) to set the edge and work up to no finer than 1000 grit. D2 performs best with a slightly toothy edge rather than a highly polished one. Hone regularly between sharpenings.
