Built to Last
Trusted by real craftsmen
This 5-piece handmade Damascus knife set covers the full range of professional kitchen work. It includes five Japanese-style blades — each built for a specific cutting task — and comes with a black leather knife roll for storage and transport.
Blade
Every blade is hand-forged from layered Damascus steel with a twisted pattern. The forge-welding process builds strong edge retention and cutting stability into each blade. Blades range from 13 inches down to 7 inches overall. All five handles measure 4.5 inches — keeping your grip consistent as you switch between blades during prep.
Olive Wood and Black Resin Handles
The handles combine olive wood and black resin. The olive wood adds natural grain character. The black resin seals and reinforces the wood against moisture. Black bolsters sit at the blade junction on each knife for balance and a clean, unified look across the set. Full tang construction runs through every handle.

The Story Behind This Knife
During Japan's Edo period — from the early 1600s to the mid-1800s — professional chefs used a dedicated knife for every single ingredient. A blade used for fish was never used for vegetables. This culture of specialization drove Japanese bladesmiths to develop some of the most refined knife profiles ever made — the Sujihiki for clean slicing, the Nakiri for flat-contact vegetable cuts, the Petty for detail work, and the Gyuto for general prep. Each shape was refined over generations until it reached its most efficient form. This 5-piece set brings those same specialized profiles into a handmade Damascus build.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is this different from the 4-piece olive wood set?
This 5-piece set adds a Utility and Petty knife and uses black bolsters. The 4-piece set uses steel bolsters and includes a Santoku instead.
What does the Nakiri knife do?
It cuts vegetables with a flat, straight-down stroke — no rocking. This gives clean, uniform slices through cabbage, leeks, and root vegetables.
What is the difference between Sujihiki and Gyuto?
The Sujihiki is a narrow slicing knife for meat and fish. The Gyuto is a wider, multi-purpose chef knife for general prep work.
Do all handles match in size?
Yes. Every handle is 4.5 inches — consistent grip across all five knives.
How should olive wood handles be maintained?
Hand wash and dry after use. Apply food-safe mineral oil occasionally to keep the wood from drying out.
Product Care for JW SteelCrafts Hand-Forged Products
To ensure the longevity and beauty of your hand-forged JW SteelCrafts products, follow these essential care instructions:
- Regular Cleaning
Wipe your knives, swords, axes, and rings with a soft cloth to remove dust and debris. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap solution and a non-abrasive cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasives that could damage the steel’s finish. - Dry Thoroughly
After cleaning, ensure your product is completely dried. This helps prevent water spots, rust, or corrosion, particularly on blades and steel surfaces exposed to moisture. - Proper Storage
Store your hand-forged products in a dry, cool place to prevent oxidation or rust. For long-term storage, consider applying a thin layer of oil (e.g., mineral oil or gun oil) to the metal surfaces, or using a rust inhibitor. When storing knives and swords, keep them in protective sheaths or pouches to prevent contact with other materials. - Avoid Impact
While designed for strength and durability, avoid dropping or striking your steel products against hard surfaces. This can cause damage to the blade, edge, or overall integrity of the piece. - Edge Maintenance (For Knives & Swords)
Periodically sharpen the blades to maintain their cutting edge. Use a proper sharpening stone or take your product to a professional for maintenance. Always sharpen in the correct direction to preserve the blade’s integrity. - Routine Inspection
Regularly inspect your products for any signs of wear, rust, or damage. If you notice any issues, reach out to us for maintenance, restoration, or repair services.
By following these care instructions, your JW SteelCrafts products will retain their craftsmanship, functionality, and beauty for years to come.
