Introducing the 'Onyx' Collection, a complete 8-Piece Japanese Kitchen Knife Set with Black Resin Handle and Damascus blade pattern. Masterfully forged from High Carbon Steel and built to last so that you will never need another set of kitchen knives again. High Carbon Steel, which was once the metal of choice for Japanese swordsmiths, has been exploding in popularity due to its added hardiness and sharpness, to such a degree that high-carbon steel has become the premier choice of many professional chefs. It's certainly worth trying out a High-Carbon Steel Knife Set if you haven't already; you will feel the difference immediately, and you will never go back to your old stainless steel knives. The knives are carefully heat-treated and sharpened to perfection for razor-sharp cutting and extreme durability. Each knife is laser etched with a Damascus pattern, paying homage to a style of knife-making whose history stretches back over 1000 years.
