They're so nice I wouldn't use them! Can you imagine how quickly they'll get "lost" in a working kitchen?

Those blades are Damascus steel - superb quality!

Certainly taste enters into what's knife porn or not.

The blades are wave pattern damascus on a ZDP189 core. ZDP189 is one of the new super steels. In knife steels, there's a tradeoff between the hardness of the metal (how long it holds the edge) and toughness (resistance to chipping, bending, breaking). Most good kitchen knives (Wusthoff/Henkels) have a hardness of about 56. ZDP189 is generally hardened to 65 and still maintains good toughness.

The wood handles are cocobolo. They are secured with nickel silver pins.
