For those who prefer an elegant, timeless design, meet our bestselling, green pakkawood–handled, Japanese Damascus steel HexClad knives. Their look is the definition of style–as striking in a modern kitchen as a rustic one–and we cut no corners in making them. Think: 67 layers of Damascus steel. Twelve degree blade sharpness. Rockwell ratings of 60 or higher. The knives themselves boast ergonomically designed handles of green pakkawood, which is rather rare. We also treated the handles with anti-shrinking technology, for added durability. The magnetic walnut block will help protect blades and keep them sharp while conserving precious counter space. This essential knife set will speed your prep work and level up your cooking prowess.
