PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
This 4-piece high carbon steel kitchen knife set gives you four matched knives for complete daily kitchen prep. Blade sizes run from 8 inches on the cleaver up to 13 inches on the chef knife. Every handle is shaped from blue pakka wood with a rosewood spacer, steel bolsters, and silver pins. Full tang construction runs through every handle across all four knives. No storage is included — these knives are built for display and daily counter use.
This is the only 4-piece high carbon steel set at JW Steel Crafts with blue pakka wood handles, rosewood spacers, and a Chef, Butcher, Santoku, and Cleaver configuration in an 8-to-13-inch blade range.
The History Behind This Blade
In 19th century French professional kitchens, the brigade system assigned each cook a specific blade for a specific task. Four knives covered the full kitchen — a long chef knife for primary prep, a butcher blade for meat work, a Santoku-style all-purpose knife for daily tasks, and a cleaver for heavy breakdown. No blade overlapped another. That four-knife discipline became the foundation of structured professional kitchen craft worldwide. The JW Steel Crafts blue pakka wood set brings that same four-blade system into every modern kitchen.
What Is Inside the Set
Chef Knife: Primary chopping, slicing, and general daily kitchen prep tasks, largest blade at 13 inches.
Butcher Knife: Clean meat slicing, portioning, and protein breakdown tasks.
Santoku Knife: Flat edge for precise vegetable cuts and all-purpose daily prep
Cleaver: Heavy chopping, dense vegetable breakdown, and board transfer work, smallest blade at 8 inches
Four knives. Four distinct roles. The set covers every stage of a full kitchen workflow without any gaps.
Blade Performance
Every blade is forged from high carbon steel and hand-polished to a mirror finish. High carbon steel takes a sharper initial edge than standard stainless steel and holds it longer through repeated daily kitchen use. The clean polished surface reduces drag during slicing and gives each blade a smooth, controlled cutting feel. Full tang construction runs through every handle and spreads weight evenly from blade tip to handle base for stable and controlled cutting across all four knives.
Handle Construction
Every handle is shaped from blue pakka wood. Pakka wood is natural hardwood compressed with resin under high pressure. It resists moisture, does not swell or crack, and holds its color and surface finish through daily kitchen use. A rosewood spacer sits between the blue pakka wood and the steel bolster on each handle, adding a warm natural tone that contrasts cleanly against the blue pakka wood. Steel bolsters sit between each blade and handle, adding front-end weight for better cutting balance and protecting fingers during heavy prep. Silver pins lock every handle firmly to the full tang for long-term structural reliability.

- Daily meat slicing, vegetable prep, and general kitchen work

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes this set different from other kitchen knife sets at JW Steel Crafts?
This is the only 4-piece high carbon steel set in the store with blue pakka wood handles, rosewood spacers, and a Chef, Butcher, Santoku, and Cleaver configuration in an 8-to-13-inch blade range.
What is the rosewood spacer on each handle?
The rosewood spacer sits between the blue pakka wood and the steel bolster. It adds a warm natural tone that contrasts against the blue handle and gives each knife a layered, refined handle appearance.
Why choose high carbon steel over Damascus or stainless?
High carbon steel takes a sharper initial edge than stainless and holds it longer under daily use. The mirror polish finish also reduces drag during slicing compared to textured Damascus surfaces.
What is the blade size range across all four knives?
The chef knife is the largest at 13 inches, and the cleaver is the smallest at 8 inches.
What do the steel bolsters do?
They add front-end weight for better cutting balance and stop fingers from sliding onto the blade during heavy chopping and slicing tasks.
Are all four knives full tang?
Yes. The tang runs the full length of every blue pakka wood handle for strength, balance, and long-term durability across all four knives.
How do I care for high carbon steel blades?
Hand wash and dry immediately after every use. Apply food-safe mineral oil to the blades every few weeks. Never put them in a dishwasher and store in a dry place between uses.
Is this set suitable as a gift?
Yes. The matched blue pakka wood handles, rosewood spacers, steel bolsters, and four-knife configuration make this a strong gift for home cooks, professional chefs, and kitchen knife collectors.

I'm very pleased with this tent after having it for two years I've been in the rain I've been in the snow and it's held up pretty good but the cover that covers it did not hold up that good but the tent is perfect
Really enjoy the awning. Easy setup and got a little rain on the first trip. Easy to adjust for the run off. Very happy with the purchase!
I am one of the earliest customers Astrodome, I bought it and didn’t set it up for almost a year. By the time we set it up, we were blown away by the beauty of this space we purchased it on a mountain ledge in our glamping retreat in Lake County California two hours north of San as much as I love this space there are definitely some challenges with it in our location. It might work better than other locations, but we have had problems with the stakes, slipping and collapsing in the ground beneath and with the prevailing winds, it did stay up and it stays dry, even in tornadoes, but because the wind hits it from One Direction coming from the coast, this is definitely been a challenge for us we are going to try adding some weight inside it. The guests absolutely love this space keep in mind that with those skylights it’s going to get hot in the summertime but what’s nice is in the winter. It heats up almost passive solar. it’s also wonderful with a woodstove. A very cost effective alternative to a geodesic dome! If you want to experience it stay in ours, on Hipcamp.
I bought one of these at Scheels and absolutely love it. Great design, has everything you would ever need in a first aid/trauma/survival kit. Have one in all of my vehicles now. These guys truly thought of everything
A complete coverage of possibilities for my project and needs.
I love my new tent stove. Costumer service was also attentive and great to work with. Thank you.
The mounts work perfect with the truck bed rack I have on. Thank you for the excellent line of communication. You guys never kept me in the dark. I will ordering from you guys again.
I was wondering if you are able to sell just two extra mounts or do they just come in a set of six.
The color was even better in person. For well, looks well made and was easy to fold up and put into the carrying case. There was a bunch of colored plastic pieces from manufacturing on the mat, but I was able to vacuum it right up so be careful pulling it out.
Although it took a little extra time the delay very of my OVS Truck Topper was great. Good price too!
Fully engaged with customer, helped me get the crossbar I needed on time!
Product worked out great for my rack setup.
Order was delayed due to manufacturer delays, but my questions were answered and expectations on timing reset along the way. Cross bars were in perfect condition and work great!
I was in the market for a 3/4 length roof rack for my 4Runner as I wanted an upgrade from the OEM rails but still wanted to retain a somewhat OEM look. I am very happy that I went with the Sherpa Needle. It is a high quality rack with the best install method out of all the racks I looked at. I like that it is designed so you don’t have to deal with a mess of silicone when mounting. It is also nice that the fairing sits just above the roof instead of resting on it so that the paint does not get scratched. I was worried about wind noise because of this but I am happy to say there is no added wind noise at all.
I am also glad I purchased this rack through Live More Outside. I shopped around and they had the best pricing considering I was able to get a discount code, shipping was free, and they don’t charge sales tax. Shipping was prompt and I received the rack sooner than I thought I would.
Overall I am very pleased with this purchase and I will definitely come back to Live More Outside as I continue to build my rig.
By far one of the best customer service! Nathan has been a huge help on any questions and quick to respond! Live more outside is top notch. We are getting ready to hit our first outing with our new RTT. Cant wait to test it out. We also just purchased a 270 awning. I found one on another website but wanted to keep my business with live more outside. Nathan price matched and beat their price! We will continue to keep our business with this company!
