5000MCD Artisan 8-Piece Knife Block Set

With black maple handles and damascus floral-patterned steel, these knives perform as both works of art and kitchen essentials.

How it's made: Handcrafted in Seki, Japan, the blades are constructed of micro-carbide powdered MC66 steel, which is ice-hardened to an impressive 66 HRC. This results in an exceptionally sharp and lasting edge. The blades are wrapped in 132 additional layers of steel, resulting in a beautiful floral damascus pattern. The handles of the Miyabi Black series are made from beautiful black maple, which contrasts stunningly with the pattern on the blades.

Additional features: The handles are crafted in a traditional "D" shape, providing optimal ergonomics for fatigue-free cutting in the kitchen.
