These four knives bring the same Japanese-forged Damascus steel used in Messermeister's professional kitchen line straight to your table setting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe details\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach knife in this four-piece set is built around a 67-layer VG10 Damascus steel blade — 67 individual folds of steel around a hard VG10 core, finished to a fish-bone Damascus pattern that makes the layering visible on the blade face. That's not surface decoration; it's the actual structure of the steel. The VG10 core holds at 62 HRC, measurably harder and sharper-holding than German X50 steel, with a 15° double-bevel fine edge ground on both sides. Ambidextrous, and maintainable at home on a whetstone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe fine edge is worth calling out specifically. Serrated steak knives are common because they're forgiving of a dull blade — they tear through meat rather than slice it. A fine-edge knife at 62 HRC slices cleanly, and when it eventually needs sharpening, you can actually bring it back. The Avanta Damascus set is a long-term investment in the meal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHandles are ebony pakkawood — a stabilized wood composite that resists moisture absorption and won't crack, warp, or fade. The deep near-black color pairs naturally with the Damascus pattern. Full bolster, full tang.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy we love it at Berry + Basil\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e67-layer VG10 Damascus steel holds 62 HRC — sharper and longer-lasting than German-steel steak knives\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFine edge, not serrated: slices cleanly and can be sharpened at home\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e15° double-bevel edge is ground ambidextrous — works for every guest at the table\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFish-bone Damascus pattern is a byproduct of the forging process, not a printed finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEbony pakkawood handles are moisture-resistant and won't discolor or warp over time\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFull-tang construction gives each knife a solid, balanced feel in hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSet of four covers a full dinner party without compromise\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUse it for\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSlicing grilled ribeye, NY strip, rack of lamb, pork tenderloin, duck breast, or any roast worth carving at the table.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSet includes: 4 Fine Edge Steak Knives\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlade: 67-Layer VG10 Fish Bone Damascus\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHardness: 62 HRC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEdge angle: 15° double bevel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrind: Full flat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandle: Ebony Pakkawood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOrigin: Handcrafted in China\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCare: Hand wash only — warm water and mild detergent, rinse and dry immediately; avoid acidic or salty foods left on the blade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSKU: AD864-4S\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUPC: 098872238645\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eSharp enough for the steak.
