Presented in a gift-ready storage box, this two-piece starter set gets your knife collection off to an exquisite start. The chef's and paring knives are razor sharp. A rippled Damascus finish is achieved by forging 34 layers of stainless steel on each side of the blades, which are then hand ground to an exceptional 16-degree angle and polished by hand. Impregnated with resin for durability, the beautiful blonde birch wood handles won't harbor bacteria and are comfortable for left- and right-hand use.
