To get the longest life from your knives:

• Use these items appropriately. Avoid using them as a pry bar, can opener, etc.
• Wash thoroughly after each use. Hand wash only with mild soap and warm water; never put Damascus in a dishwasher.
• Dry completely right after washing—never leave the blades wet. Pay attention to the spine and edge, especially near the guard and handle.
• Apply a light coat of food-safe oil before long-term storage to help prevent surface rust.
• Store in the leather roll or a dedicated knife block / magnetic strip, not loose in a drawer.
• Surface rust can be wiped off with a vinegar and lime mixture, followed by recoating with oil for long-lasting rust prevention.
• Do not scrub with steel wool; wipe and rub in the direction of Damascus patterns for cleaning.
• Use the included honing rod regularly to keep edges aligned.
• Sharpen with a quality stone or professional service when needed.

With simple care, your stainless steel knife - DXC 2104 - will be ready season after season.

Craftsmanship & Heritage

The DXC 2104 Master Chef Damascus Knife Set is hand-forged in Wazirabad, Pakistan—a region known worldwide as a hub of Damascus steel and bladesmithing.

Each blade is layered, forged, ground, heat-treated, and etched by skilled makers working in small batches. The hammered tsuchime marks, waterfall Damascus grain, and engraved rosewood all reflect the same idea:

These are tools meant to be used hard and kept for years, not thrown away after a season.

No two knives share the exact same pattern, so your set is visually unique—just like your cooking.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: Is this Damascus kitchen knife set dishwasher safe?

A: No. Dishwashers can damage high-carbon Damascus steel and natural wood handles. Always hand wash, dry thoroughly, and store in the leather roll or a safe knife rack.

Q2: Will the Damascus pattern fade or wear off?

A: The waterfall Damascus pattern is forged into the steel, not printed on. With normal use and proper care, the pattern will remain visible. Over-aggressive abrasive cleaners can dull the contrast, so avoid scouring pads and harsh chemicals.

Q3: Are these knives full tang?

A: DXC 2104 uses a near full-tang construction—steel runs through the handle and is anchored with mosaic brass pins and bolsters for strength, balance, and durability.

Q4: Who is this set best suited for—home cooks or pros?

A: Both. The size mix (chef, cleaver, slicer, utility, paring) was chosen to serve serious home cooks, working chefs, and culinary students who want a complete Damascus chef knife set in one roll.

Q5: Can I use these knives on bones or frozen food?

A: They are designed for kitchen prep on suitable cutting boards—not for heavy bone splitting or prying. For bones or frozen blocks, use a dedicated cleaver or saw to avoid chipping the edge.

Q6: Where are these knives made?

A: Every blade in this Damascus kitchen knife set is hand-forged in Wazirabad, Pakistan, a city with generations of experience in Damascus steel and cutlery.

Q7: Are the handles real wood?

A: Yes. The handles are made from polished rosewood with CNC-engraved details, mosaic brass pins, and steel bolsters for a blend of beauty and long-term comfort.

Q8: Is this a good gift set?

A: Absolutely. The combination of hand-forged Damascus blades, engraved rosewood handles, and leather roll presentation makes DXC 2104 a standout gift for weddings, promotions, holidays, or anyone serious about cooking.
