Prep Hub Chopper — Mandoline, Dicer & Steel Blades

Details

A Damascus-patterned steel kitchen knife for everyday prep — tomatoes, herbs, and meat.

Each blade is honed to a fine edge over a 60°+ tip and balanced against a long, easy-to-hold handle. Choose a single blade from a 3.5" fruit knife to an 8" cleaver, or the full 7-piece set.

Why we love it

  • Damascus-patterned steel — layered finish that stays sharp through daily cooking
  • Balanced full-length build — the weight does the work, your wrist doesn't
  • Fine-honed edge over 60° tip — clean cuts through tomato skin, herbs, and meat
  • Choose your blade or the full set — from a 3.5" fruit knife to an 8" cleaver
  • Counter-worthy looks — the kind of knife you leave out, not tuck away

Common questions

Which knife should I start with if I only buy one?
The 8" chef knife is the everyday workhorse — it handles vegetables, herbs, and most proteins. If you cook a lot of Asian-style meals, the 6.5" Japanese knife is a lighter, nimbler choice.

Can I put these in the dishwasher?
We don't recommend it. Hand wash with warm soapy water and dry right away to protect the edge and keep the Damascus pattern looking sharp.

How sharp are they out of the box?
Sharp enough to slice a ripe tomato cleanly on arrival. With regular honing, the edge holds up well through daily cooking.

Does the 7-piece set come gift-ready?
Yes. The full set ships in a fitted gift box with a lid — a nice option for weddings, housewarmings, or a serious upgrade to your own kitchen.

How to care for your piece

Care guide

How to care for your piece

  1. Rinse and dry

    Rinse and dry

    Hand-wash the blade in warm soapy water and dry it fully with a soft towel before first use. Skip the dishwasher — heat and detergent dull the edge and dark-spot the Damascus pattern.

  2. Test the edge

    Test the edge

    Slice a ripe tomato with the tip and let the weight of the knife pull down through the skin. If it drags, you're pressing too hard — the honed edge does the cutting for you.

  3. Cut on wood or plastic

    Cut on wood or plastic

    Use a wood or soft-plastic board for every cut, never glass, stone, or ceramic. Hard surfaces chip the fine tip within a few uses.

  4. Hone weekly, sharpen yearly

    Hone weekly, sharpen yearly

    Run the blade down a honing rod 5–6 strokes per side once a week to keep it aligned. Send it out (or use a whetstone) for a real sharpening about once a year with daily use.

  5. Store dry and separate

    Store dry and separate

    Wipe the blade dry the moment you're done and store it on a magnetic strip, in a knife block, or with an edge guard — never loose in a drawer. Moisture spots the Damascus layers and drawer contact chips the tip.
