Brothers Jordan and Jared Schmidt lend a designer's sensibility to the creation of their cutlery, and in the process have redefined the art of modern knife making. Their Damascus series combines German manufacturing excellence with high-carbon Japanese stainless steel that's skillfully layered, forged and folded for unparalleled performance. Ergonomic handles are expertly carved from coconut with full tangs for optimal balance and smooth contours for a comfortable grip. The santoku knives combine the features of a chef's knife and cleaver, making them ideal for chopping and slicing fresh vegetables, fruits and small cuts of meat.

• Blades are forged from 65 layers of high-carbon VG10 Japanese stainless steel.
