Will it stay sharp, or is it high-maintenance?
Dynasty blades are forged using the same traditional Japanese technique as samurai swords, so the edge is built to hold. Upkeep takes under a minute: hand wash, dry it right after use, and give it a few passes on a honing rod between cooks. That's it. No special oils, no rituals.

“The mountain-forged texture on the blade is unreal. You can feel the craftsmanship the moment you hold it. And that blue epoxy handle is easily the most striking knife I’ve ever owned.”
Dylan N.
“I’ve collected knives for years, and the Nomad stands out instantly. The blue handle catches the light beautifully, and the blade edge is razor sharp. It’s both art and performance in one.”
Cast&Iron
“I use the Nomad Chef’s Knife at work daily. It holds its edge incredibly well and the handle stays comfortable even during prep marathons. It’s as functional as it is beautiful.”
Tyler J.
“The Nomad Series is a true standout in my collection. The mountain-forged texture gives each blade a one-of-a-kind look, and the epoxy handle makes it feel like a custom piece.”

“I didn’t expect a knife to look this good and perform this well. It has the weight, sharpness, and control of a pro tool, but the design makes it stand out every time I use it.”

Same forge. Same edge. Different character.
Two Distinct Styles. One Standard.
Both carry the full 67-layer Damascus build and 15-degree edge — the difference is purely in character. Pick the one that speaks to you.
No two blades are ever the same.
67-Layer Damascus
67 layers folded around a hardened core for strength and edge retention. The hammered finish reduces drag, so food releases instead of clinging.
Set by a craftsman, not a machine.
Finished By Hand. Sharpened To 15 Degrees.
Every blade is hand-sharpened to a precise 15-degree edge — far finer than most western knives. One of the sharpest edges you'll ever use. Clean through everything, no crushing, no tearing.
I like it. I originally bought the slicer, it is great but was hard to store it safely in the drawer. Now I finally have a sheath for it and it’s lovely, fits the knife precisely and it’s much easier to store it without risking to cut your fingers every time you take it out.
I wish they had arrived by Christmas to cut the hams because knives really do cut through meat like it's butter!! I've been buying extra meat just to cut them into pieces lol!! Very sharp and all have a durable handle and easy to clean with no need for sharpening for quite a while I imagine.
For Thanksgiving I saw my cousin using the Dynasty cleaver to carve the turkey. I knew I had to buy this set for my husband as a Christmas gift! Even though there was a pretty big delay on receiving my order I’m very happy with these knives!
I found my "forever knife!" I'm a Sous Chef and dove LOT of prep work! 3+ Weeks with this knife now and its still super-sharp and feels great to work with. I have used a few different Serbian Chef knives, and while they have been solid, theyre either too heavy or bulky for everyday general-purpose work for long periods of time-they get relegated to specific tasks. This Dynasty Series Serbian knife, however, is the perfect balance of size, weight, and strength to get through long shifts with lengthy prep lists. It's size is also perfect when I am up on the line during meal service; again its weight is just right, size is ideal for nearly any task, and it has held up to a very heavy workload! The steel is beautiful, the out-of-the-box edge is still super sharp-I have yet to use even a honing rod on it after 3+ weeks! I have used many different brands and styles of knives, but THIS is truly the one knife I have been looking for in 30+ years of professional kitchen work!!! Thank you!
I’ve had my set of dynasty knives for a few years now and absolutely love them. They stay sharp for ages with a regular touch up on the steel and I’ve always loved the look and feel. Highly recommend. A great product for a very reasonable price
Hands down out of the box this knife was extremely sharp and by extremely sharp is an understatement, this blade is top notch and now will be my go to kitchen essential
I'm actually using the knives right now. Just got a new smoker and these slicers are perfect for the meats! It’s a smoker/grill.
These knives have been outstanding. Even with some rudimentary training in hand-to hand combat with knives, my left hand has been the unfortunate recipient of countless chance encounters with various blades. I now understand this has been because those blades just weren’t sharp enough, and I was working too hard to slice.
With the Nomad and Dynasty slicers, I certainly don’t have this issue. Absolutely the sharpest knives I’ve ever used. I give both 5 stars all day. The Nomad with its blunt tip is great for slicing steaks all day long, cooked, or raw. The Dynasty slicer has a nice, pointed tip that is great for tearing down any steak that might still have a bone on it. I, and my oldest, are more than impressed; and, excited to try other knives from The Cooking Guild. But wait, there’s more: NOT just steaks. Chicken, pheasant, pork. These blades are made for slicing! FIVE STARS
This is best and sharpest knife i've purchased to date. First two times i used it i got myself good. Unbelievably high quality and i've been using it regularly since i purchased it a couple months back. Its bigger than the pictures give credit. I also got the leather sheath which is also sturdy and of almost equal quality. I say almost because the button doesn't click to completely secure it but the other knife i got in this order zero issues so it was just the luck of the draw. I plan on buying the rest of the line and their sheaths. I've been leery about purchasing knives at this price point without seeing them but took a chance and it was 100% worth it.
I bought one of the dynasty series knives for my friend for his birthday one year, he loves to cook so I thought he might enjoy it. A few years later he’s up to four and we’re now together and I get to use them too!! (The knives at my house are awful, but that makes us appreciate these even more). If I could afford to just buy the set I would but I can’t so the next few birthdays/Christmases are covered for a bit. Worth the price!
As the Holiday season is approaching I started remembering the struggle I had with the knife I used on the Thanksgiving turkey.
Found this Dynasty Slicer from Cooking Guild so I ordered one. Anxious to try it I picked up a bone in ham and smoked it. Nothing bothered me more than to go thru the trouble of maintaining temps low and slow & seasoning a fine piece of meat to struggle to cut the dang thing. I will say no worries for me with this new Dynasty slicer was like cutting butter with a warm knife.
And did I say how commanding it looks, yes commanding this is a serious knife 12 inch blade, a tang that runs all the way thru the rosewood handle.
As the phrase goes a picture is worth a thousand words �see attached pictures
I love the knives and they were sharp at first. However, they went dull faster than I expected. One of the edges rolled, and the others are still good. I have knife sharpeners which help keep them sharp, but I just cant get them as sharps as they were when they were new. I have had them only four months now. I didn't expect them to go dull as fast. (When I say dull, I don't mean like regular knives at Brick and Mortar stores). They are still sharp, just not like new. Which is to be expected when used. Again, I stll love the knives, and they cut better than any knife I have ever had. I do recommend buying them still, and i may purchase another set. I have my eyes on the Bushcraft set.
I love these knives. I have one for every need and even more on another strip. They maintain their sharpness like no other knife I've owned. But its the weight, balance and over all comfort in my hand that won me over.
I got my knife right before thanksgiving and I wasn’t expecting much from a $60 knife but man was I wrong. Handles beautifully and I’ve recommended TCG and Dynasty which is slowly becoming the go to brand in my culinary program. I haven’t needed to sharpen it as much as my other knives but I will say that came the last week of January, I did notice some small rust spots started to appear which sucked considering i only had it 2 months so I would recommend to pay extra close attention to care, it does have wash/care instructions that comes with it.
I got this knife for my husband for Father’s Day 2023. He only uses these knives for special occasion dinners or when he’s not in the mood for his other knives. This is a great knife EXCEPT the textured part of it is already rusting. He cleans all his knives and puts them back in their sheaths when done using them. We’re just a little disappointed that it’s only been used a handful of times and it’s already rusting.
I own over a dozen different chefs knives but the dynasty series Santoku is hands down the best I’ve ever laid my eyes on. I really appreciate the overall heft of the knife since I’m a bigger guy with bigger paws the knife is ergonomically comfortable. Sharp as a razon right out of the box. If you’re in the market for a santoku knife do yourself a favor and grab this along witb the sheath!
I absolutely love the sheaths for the dynasty series. You can tell the craftsmanship and attention to detail that was put into the constructions of them. Some sheaths don’t live up to the blades they protect but that’s not the case here!
I must admit - my only regret is that I didn’t get these sooner. Sharp. Well balanced. Beautiful. Amazing. The first time I used them to chop onions and potatoes it felt like I was cutting through butter. I made everyone in my family come and try them I was so blown away by how beautifully they performed. It may sound silly but I look forward to cooking every day because I get to use these fantastic knives. My husband used the slicer on our Christmas tri tip and he was ooohing and ahhhing how effortless it was to make perfect slices. 10/10 would highly recommend.
I got tired of cutting up animals in my garage! So, when we moved, I made a butcher block counter top to handle the quarters and primal cuts. The knives are stored on the outside of the knife block to I don't have to guess which knife to grab for the job at hand and not dirty knives or drawers when looking for the right knife. And it Looks good too!
What an amazingly sharp, accurate and comfortable knife.
This beauty really cuts wonderfully. So easy in your hand, very confident with its cut. Great job
This was a Christmas gift from my daughter in 2022. These knives are solid, durable, and sharp. They look great and feel good in my hand. I’ve had these knives for almost a year, and they still ha e a sharp edge. With the right care and honing, these knives will serve anyone well. My next buy is the slicer and paring knife. The picture is after 1 year of use. Amazing!!!
These knives are amazing! They are beautifully made, comfortable to wield, and lethal to anything on the sharp end. They make the slicing, dicing, and chopping process easy and fun!
I made record time chopping up and dicing a whole pumpkin; with these knives I saved 15 minutes of my prep time compared to when using my former-sharpest knives.
Love it! Very happy with my purchase!
