A premium knife set should do more than cover basic prep. It should give you the confidence to move from detailed knife work to larger slicing and everyday cooking without reaching for second-tier tools. The Hellebore 3-Piece CuMai Knife Set with AUS10 Damascus Steel is built for cooks who want standout cutting performance, refined versatility, and a knife set that feels every bit as distinctive as it looks.
Each knife features a high-carbon AUS10 core layered with nickel, copper, and Damascus steel made from AUS10 and 430 stainless steel, creating the bold visual depth and premium performance that define the Hellebore Collection. Crafted in limited small batches, this CuMai construction was once reserved for exclusive custom orders. Forged carbon fiber handles with copper flakes add a rugged, modern feel in hand, while the included walnut storage box makes the set feel equally at home in a serious kitchen, on display, or wrapped as a gift for a knife enthusiast.

With over 35 years of smoking experience, we started DDR BBQ Supply with a simple goal: to help others cook better barbecue. We've spent decades learning what works and what doesn't, and we apply that knowledge to every product we carry. From high-performance grills and smokers to carefully selected rubs, sauces, and tools, everything we offer is something we believe in and use ourselves. We don’t believe in cutting corners or selling gear we wouldn’t rely on during our own backyard cooks and when we compete in BBQ competitions.
