Twist pattern Damascus on every blade. The HS-155 brings together three materials that each do their job well — 512-layer Damascus steel that holds a sharp edge, a stained wood handle that sits comfortably in the hand, and a brass bolster that shifts the balance forward exactly where you want it for serious cutting work. File work along each spine adds a hand-finished detail that sets this set apart from anything mass produced.\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\u003eParing Knife 1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eApprox. 9 inches\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eApprox. 5 inches\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eApprox. 4 inches\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eParing Knife 2\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eApprox. 10 inches\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eApprox. 5.5 inches\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eApprox. 4.5 inches\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUtility Knife\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\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eChef Knife\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\u003eCleaver\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\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-155\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\u003e512-Layer Twist Pattern Damascus (4340 Stainless \u0026amp; 1075 High Carbon Steel)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHandle Material\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStained Wood\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBolster\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBrass\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlade Feature\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFile Work Spine\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlade Hardness\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHRC 55–58\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 Forged from 512 layers of 4340 stainless and 1075 high carbon steel using a twist pattern technique — the steel billet is twisted before folding, producing a tighter spiral pattern compared to standard Damascus layering.

Most cooks find this forward-balanced feel more natural for chopping and slicing tasks. The bolster also acts as a finger guard, protecting the hand from slipping onto the blade during heavy use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the difference between twist pattern and standard Damascus?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eStandard Damascus is made by folding layers of steel straight. Twist pattern Damascus involves twisting the steel billet before folding, creating a spiral or rope-like visual pattern across the blade. The HS-155 uses 512 layers with this technique, producing a tighter, more defined pattern than most Damascus kitchen knives.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDoes the set include a cleaver?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes. The HS-155 includes a 12-inch cleaver with a 7-inch blade alongside two paring knives, a utility knife, and a chef knife — giving you complete coverage from heavy chopping tasks to fine detail work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow do I maintain the stained wood handles?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eHand wash and dry immediately after use — do not soak or put in the dishwasher. Occasionally apply a small amount of food-safe mineral oil or beeswax to the wood to prevent drying and maintain the finish. Store on a magnetic strip or knife block to protect both the blade edges and the handles.\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.
