They developed a method of folding and layering different grades of steel together, creating blades with a flowing wave pattern on the surface. These knives were known for holding a sharp edge through heavy use. That same layering tradition is built into every blade in this set.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAbout This Set\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis 9-piece\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(255, 128, 0);\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.jwsteelcrafts.com\/collections\/damascus-steel-kitchen-knives-set?srsltid=AfmBOopMqLIhsd9vdEVpyNwgtPowfmCDHuubJHUcy5ZryGViirzWSttf\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 128, 0);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e kitchen knife set\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e from JW Steel Crafts brings Japanese and Western blade profiles together in one complete collection.
