Six-piece knife set for home cooks

The Henckels Compass Damascus 1030972 set includes six knives forged from high-carbon D60 steel. Each blade is wrapped in an authentic 45-layer Damascus pattern that shields the core. The steel reaches a Rockwell hardness of 59-61 for lasting edge retention. This collection suits home cooks and aspiring chefs who want durable, corrosion-resistant cutlery.

Sustained sharpness and balance under daily use

The oil-quenched D60 core maintains its cutting angle through repeated slicing tasks without frequent honing. A curved bolster encourages a secure pinch grip that reduces fatigue during extended prep sessions. Triple-riveted handles with a stainless-steel endcap keep the weight distribution steady. The mosaic centre pin adds structural integrity to the handle assembly.

Magnetic easel storage and simple care

Knives attach to the included magnetic easel for compact, accessible countertop storage. Hand washing preserves the Damascus finish and prevents dishwasher detergent from dulling the edge. The contoured handle rivets leave no gaps where moisture can collect. Avoid cutting on glass or stone boards to protect the 59-61 hardness edge from micro-chipping.

Questions about this item

How much heat or noise does the 6-piece set produce during all-day use?

The knives generate no heat or noise because they are hand-operated cutlery with no motor or power source.

What else must I already own for the 1030972 set to work?

You need a cutting surface and food to prepare; the set includes six knives and a magnetic easel block for storage.

Will the D60 steel blades with 59-61 Rockwell hardness damage my older non-stick pans?

The blades are designed for cutting on boards, not cookware; using them on non-stick surfaces can scratch the coating regardless of knife hardness.
