Sami blades builds this 5 piece kitchen set around the five blades a cook actually reaches for, from the chef knife at [confirm] inches overall down to the paring knife. The whole set rolls into a leather case, so it travels to a friend's kitchen or a cookery class without the edges knocking together.
Blade: High Carbon Steel, Black Finish
Each blade is ground, finished in black and given a patterned face along the flat. The cutting edge is brought back to bare steel, so nothing sits between the finish and your food. Carbon steel holds an edge well and needs drying after every wash.
Handle: Solid Wood
Wood scales pinned through the tang, shaped to sit forward in a pinch grip. One profile runs through all five, so your hand does not relearn anything as you swap blades.
