The Dynasty Collection features individually forged Damascus kitchen knives made of 67-layer Japanese Damascus Steel with a HRC Rating of 62 for unparalleled hardiness and performance. 33-layers of Damascus on each side surround the Japanese VG10 Steel Core. Built to last and retain sharpness so that you will never need another set of knives again. Each blade undergoes an extensive 55-hour vacuum heat treatment followed by annealing and a cryogenic process, to ensure maximum durability & edge retention. The blades are double bevel (except for the serrated bread knife) with a 15° edge that allow extreme sharp and precise cuts. Each Dynasty kitchen knife has a beautiful Sycamore Wood Handle that is uniquely curved for a stronger grip as well as an enhanced aesthetic. The handles are smooth to the touch but also extremely durable with a suitable weight to them. Achieve culinary perfection in style with the 7-Piece Dynasty Collection.
