The wood handle is fitted through the full tang and the leather sheath keeps all five blades protected between uses. Blade lengths run from 5\" to 7\" — a practical range for everyday kitchen prep.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eComplete Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFeature\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDetails\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlade Material\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDamascus Steel (Layered High Carbon)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eConstruction\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFull Tang, Hand Forged\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHandle Material\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWood with Steel Bolster\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOverall Lengths\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eApprox. 10\" to 13\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlade Lengths\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eApprox. 5\" to 7\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSet Includes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5 Chef \/ Kitchen Knives\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSheath\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLeather Sheath Included\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCondition\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBrand New\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCare\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHand Wash Only — Never Dishwasher\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHandle \u0026amp; Blade Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe steel bolster is positioned at the heel of the blade, between the cutting edge and the wood handle. It adds weight exactly where it's needed for balance, protects the handle from blade contact, and gives each knife a finished, professional look at the transition point. The wood handle is shaped and fitted through the full tang — no flex, no movement. The Damascus blade is hand-forged from layered high-carbon steel; the pattern across the blade face is unique to each knife since every one is forged individually. Apply a light food-safe oil to the blade after washing to maintain the Damascus finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePerfect For\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDamascus Chef Knife Set Steel Bolster Wood Handle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5 Piece Handmade Damascus Kitchen Knife Set\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLeather Sheath Damascus Knife Set Gift USA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOutdoor Cook Damascus Knife Set\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFull Tang Steel Bolster Chef Knife Set\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFather's Day Gift Damascus Knife Set\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGroomsmen Gift Kitchen Knife Set\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChristmas Gift Damascus Chef Knives\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBirthday Gift Knife Set for Him\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHome Cook Damascus Knife Collection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5-piece Damascus chef knife set — blade lengths 5\" to 7\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSteel bolster — heel weight, finger guard, clean finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWood handle — full tang, solid grip\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLayered Damascus blade — unique pattern per knife\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLeather sheath included — protects all five blades\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: Is this set suitable as a gift?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes — the leather sheath makes this set gift-ready without extra packaging.
