"I'm really thrilled with this knife set! 😍 The chef's knife looks absolutely gorgeous—the grain of the olive wood handle is so beautiful and makes each piece feel special in its own way. It's definitely my favorite set in the kitchen! 💛"
🔥 Our VG-10 steel core is a premium stainless steel manufactured in Fukui, Japan. Its high carbon content (approximately 1% to 1.2%) gives VG-10 exceptional hardness and edge retention.
🔥 Our Damascus steel consists of different types of steel with very special material properties. Both soft and hard types of steel are welded together to create an exceptionally tough and hard material.
🔥 The composite steel is then heated to red hot in a furnace and pressed and forged together inseparably by hammer blows.
🔥 In a further step, 33 layers of forged Damascus steel are inseparably joined with Japanese VG-10 core steel on each side of the blade under heat and hammer blows.
🔥 Careful final polishing with chalk gives the Damascus steel its unforgettable sheen.
🔥 Our Damascus knives are NOT etched, so you can enjoy them for a lifetime with consistent aesthetics.
🔥 A radiantly shimmering surface whose artistic Damascus structure comes to life in relief when the light plays on it.

A good knife is a tool. A special knife becomes a companion.
SKeld® stands for exceptional materials, precise cutting performance, and the joy of holding something special in your hands.
Our name also conveys this idea:
SELD is linguistically derived from “seldom”—referring to what is rare and special. ✨
KELD evokes Old Norse and stands for “source” or “origin”—for nature, authenticity, and durability. 🌿
From these two concepts, SKeld® was born:
This connection is reflected in our knives. VG10 core steel and 67 layers of Damascus steel meet three distinctive handle materials:
🌳 Olive wood—warm, natural, and unique thanks to its individual grain.
🤍 Howlite—extraordinary and elegant with natural gray and black veins.
⚫ G10—modern, robust, and clean in appearance.
As different as the materials may be, they all follow the same idea: to combine nature, precision, and design.
We believe that exceptional Damascus knives don’t have to be overpriced.
That’s why we combine high-quality materials, meticulous craftsmanship, and timeless design with fair prices—for knives that will accompany you not just today, but for many years to come.
❤️ Because a knife is more than just steel and a handle.
It’s part of the moments that arise while cooking: while preparing, while enjoying, and while spending time together.

🥕 Compact vegetable knife – ideal for peeling, trimming, and slicing
🍎 For a wide variety of foods – vegetables, fruit, onions, garlic, carrots, bell peppers, herbs, and more
⚔️ VG10 core steel – long-lasting sharpness and good corrosion resistance

🤍 Howlite handle – white natural mineral with unique gray and black veins
✋ Compact & well-balanced – approx. 119 g for comfortable and precise handling

At the center of the blade is high-quality Japanese VG10 core steel. This steel is known for its excellent edge retention and good corrosion resistance and forms the knife’s high-performance cutting edge.
On either side of the VG10 core, 33 layers of Damascus steel made from various hard and tough steel grades are forged together. Together with the VG10 core, this creates a 67-layer Damascus blade.
After production, the blade undergoes a meticulous polishing process. This gives it its silver-colored, shiny surface, while the fine Damascus pattern remains subtly visible, lending the blade its unique character.
Howlite is a naturally occurring mineral from the borate group, characterized by its white base color and distinctive gray to black veining. This unique natural material is used, among other things, for high-quality jewelry as well as art and craftwork.
For this extraordinary knife handle, natural howlite is stabilized and refined with high-quality synthetic resin. This creates a waterproof, moisture- and chemical-resistant bond that makes the handle exceptionally stable, robust, and durable.
The natural veining structure is preserved, making each handle a visually unique piece. No two howlite handles are exactly alike—the individual grain and color distribution may therefore differ from the handles shown in the product images.
The contrast between the silver-colored Damascus blade and the white howlite with its fine dark veins makes this vegetable knife an extraordinary eye-catcher.
The vegetable knife is a compact and particularly easy-to-handle kitchen knife for smaller and precise cutting tasks. The short 9.5 cm blade offers excellent control and allows for particularly precise work.
The knife is ideal for peeling, trimming, and cutting fruits and vegetables. Its handy size really shines when working with smaller foods, allowing for precise cuts right in your hand or on the cutting board.
Whether it’s onions, garlic, carrots, bell peppers, fruit, or herbs—this compact vegetable knife is a practical addition to your collection of larger kitchen knives and is ideal for daily prep work.

Where Sharpness Becomes Art
An extraordinary natural material with an equally remarkable history. Its natural coloration and unique texture make each handle a one-of-a-kind piece.
Howlite originates from Nova Scotia, Canada. The mineral was scientifically described there in 1868 near Windsor by Henry How, a Canadian chemist, geologist, and mineralogist.
How originally named the mineral “silicoborocalcite.” Shortly thereafter, it was named Howlite in honor of its discoverer.
Howlite is characterized by its light, usually white base color with natural gray or dark veining. Since these patterns vary from piece to piece, each natural specimen has its own unique character.
The exact geographical location where howlite was first discovered is near Windsor in Nova Scotia, Canada. That is where the mineral was first scientifically described. Additional howlite deposits have also been documented in Nova Scotia, including near Wentworth, Green Creek, and at Bras d'Or Lake on Cape Breton Island.
Other known deposits are found in California and Nevada, as well as in Mexico, Serbia, and Turkey. Geologically, howlite is often found in association with gypsum and anhydrite deposits.
It is typically characterized by its natural, mostly white to light-colored appearance with individual gray or dark veins. Howlite frequently occurs in massive or nodular forms—it is precisely this natural structure that becomes visible when polished, making each piece a unique natural material.
Today, howlite is valued primarily as a decorative natural material because of its distinctive appearance. Among other things, it is crafted into jewelry, beads, polished gemstones, and decorative objects, and is also sought after by mineral collectors.
Polishing brings out the natural light base color and the unique gray to dark veining particularly well. Each piece has its own unique pattern and thus an unmistakable appearance.
Howlite is also well-suited for special design objects due to its natural appearance.
🪨 Natural mineral with a distinctive structure
Howlite is a naturally occurring mineral from the borate group. Its light to white base color and natural gray to dark veins give it its unmistakable character.
🛡️ Stabilized and refined for the knife handle
For this special knife handle, natural howlite is stabilized and finished with high-quality synthetic resin. This results in a particularly sturdy and durable handle with high resistance to moisture and the stresses typical of everyday kitchen use.
✋ Naturally unique
The natural veining and coloration vary with each piece of howlite. This makes every handle one-of-a-kind. The appearance of the actual knife you receive may therefore differ from the product images in terms of veining and color.
✨ Nature Meets Damascus
The contrast between the shiny, silver-colored Damascus blade and the white howlite with its fine dark veins gives the White Series its distinctive look. This transforms a functional kitchen knife into an extraordinary design piece.
From the natural beauty of the material to the finished knife handle—at SKeld®, the character of the material is intentionally incorporated into the design.
