What to know before buying
Listing details to confirm
The listing gives conflicting steel descriptions: stainless steel and high-carbon stainless steel in the details, while feature text claims a 10Cr15MoV core with 66 additional steel layers. The exact steel construction is a listing claim, not independently confirmed. The listed weight of 0.2 Grams appears unusually low, so confirm the intended weight before buying. The set contents are named only as a knife set, with no individual knife types specified.
