If there’s one thing that signifies the leap from “good cook" to “knockout cook," it’s a spectacular knife set. Our limited edition Master Series Damascus knives are the “black-tie” of knives. Think: modern, full-tang and ebony in hue with a hint of gold detailing. They comprise 67 layers of Damascus steel, a prized, exceptionally hard material from the pre-industrial era once used to make weapons. With their super-sharp blades (a sharp knife is a safe knife!), these knives stay sharper longer. This extraordinary set is as much a conversation piece as a culinary necessity.
