Hand Forged Damascus Chef Knife Set 5 Pc Blue Handle Leather Sheath – HS-161

Five blades. One set. Built for the cook who wants Damascus steel that performs and a handle that looks like nothing else in the kitchen. The HS-161 is hand forged from 15N20 and 1095 carbon steel, finished with a blue dollar sheet handle, steel busters, and a brass mosaic pin. A robust leather sheath worn on a belt is included — making this set as practical outdoors as it is at home.

Specifications

Blade & Handle Detail

Blade: Each blade in the HS-161 is hand forged from a layered billet of 15N20 and 1095 carbon steel. The nickel content in 15N20 stays bright after etching, contrasting against the darker 1095 carbon steel to produce a high-visibility Damascus pattern across each blade. At 3.5mm thick, the spine handles heavy chopping tasks without sacrificing the blade's ability to slice cleanly. Hardened to HRC 55–60 for a long-holding working edge.

Handle: Blue dollar sheet gives the HS-161 a distinctive look — even, deep-toned color across all five handles with no grain variation. The material is resin-composite, moisture-resistant, and requires no maintenance beyond hand washing. Steel busters reinforce the handle at the bolster, and a brass mosaic pin is hand-set during assembly. The thick leather sheath comes shaped for belt carry, ready for outdoor kitchens and camp use.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is the HS-161 different from other Damascus chef knife sets?

The blue dollar sheet handle sets the HS-161 apart visually — it's a resin-composite material with a deep, consistent blue tone that you won't find on most kitchen knife sets. Combined with the hand-forged 15N20 and 1095 Damascus blades and the included leather belt sheath, the HS-161 is built for both daily kitchen use and outdoor cooking.

What blade sizes are included in the set?

Five knives with blade lengths of approximately 7.5", 9.5", 8", 7", and 6" and overall lengths of 12.5", 15", 13", 12", and 11". This range covers everything from fine slicing work to heavy chopping and prep tasks.

Is the leather sheath included or sold separately?

The leather sheath is included with the HS-161. It's cut thick and shaped for belt carry, making the set practical for outdoor kitchens, camp cooking, and hunting trips where you need the knives accessible and protected.

What is the best way to store a Damascus chef knife set?

Store in a dry location — moisture is the main cause of surface rust on Damascus steel. Apply a light coat of food-safe mineral or coconut oil to each blade before storage. If surface rust appears, wipe with a mixture of vinegar and lime juice, then re-oil immediately. A leather sheath or knife roll provides good protection during storage and carry.
