Everything Inside Your Feather Forge Core Duo
Two hand-forged blades, one for the heavy work and one for the fine work, plus a third knife on us.
Feather Forge 8" Chef Knife
Built for versatility. 73 layers of feather Damascus steel wrapped around a Japanese AUS-10 core, finished with a one-piece olive burl handle. The balanced weight and curved edge handle 90% of your prep, from vegetables to meat to herbs.
Feather Forge 6" Utility
The perfect in-between knife. Small enough for control, powerful enough to handle most tasks. Ideal for quick prep, trimming and slicing when a larger blade feels like too much.
Your Free Knife FREE
The Core Duo clears our $130 free-blade tier, so a picker appears in your cart. Choose one of six: the Silver Dynasty 5" Steak Knife, Damascus Dynasty 5" Steak Knife, Torii 7" Chef, Torii 6" Petty, Snažan Heritage Cleaver or Bushcraft 7" Fillet. Worth up to $123.99, added at $0.
99-Day Home Trial INCLUDED
Cook with the duo for 99 days. If you don't love it, send it back for a full refund or exchange. No questions asked.
Free Lifetime Warranty INCLUDED
Every blade is hand finished, individually inspected and sharpened before it ships. If it ever develops a manufacturing defect, we repair or replace it free, for the lifetime of the knife.
Why Switch From Stamped Knives To Feather Forge
Most kitchen knives are punched out of sheet steel and machine edged. These are forged, layered and finished by hand.
73 layers of feather Damascus folded around a Japanese AUS-10 core. Denser steel, a stronger edge, and a pattern no two blades share.
Hardened to 60 HRC and hand sharpened to a 12 degree edge. It holds that edge through months of daily prep instead of days.
Full tang construction with a one-piece olive burl handle. Light enough for hours of prep, solid enough to feel like a real tool.
An 8" chef for the heavy work and a 6" utility for the fine work. Between them they cover almost everything you cook.
Cook with it for 99 days. If it's not the sharpest knife you've owned, send it back for a full refund. No questions asked.
Every handle is cut from responsibly sourced olive wood, so the set looks as good on the block as it feels on the board.
Built For Performance
Layered steel folded around the core for strength, flex and the signature feather pattern.
A premium high-carbon Japanese core steel that takes a wicked edge and keeps it.
Hardened for edge retention, so the knife stays sharp through months of use.
Every blade is sharpened by hand to 12 degrees before it ships, then inspected.
The steel runs the length of the handle for balance and a lifetime of strength.
Responsibly sourced olive burl, shaped and polished by hand. Comfortable, grippy, beautiful.

Questions? Let us help you
How sharp are they really?
Every Feather Forge blade is hand sharpened to a 12 degree edge and hardened to 60 HRC before it ships. Most kitchen knives leave the factory at 20 degrees or more. The difference is a knife that glides through a tomato skin instead of crushing it, and holds that edge for months of daily use.
What is in the Core Duo?
Two knives: the 8" Chef and the 6" Utility. Both are forged from 73-layer feather Damascus around a Japanese AUS-10 core, full tang, with olive burl handles. The chef takes the heavy work, the utility takes the fine work.
How does the free knife work?
Add the Core Duo to your cart. Because it is over $130, a free-blade picker appears in the cart with six options: two steak knives, two Torii knives, a cleaver and a fillet knife. Choose one and it is added at $0. One free gift per order, and it is chosen by you, not added automatically.
Do I need a discount code?
No. Fall Sale prices are already on the page and the free knife is applied in your cart automatically once you pick it. There is nothing to enter at checkout.
Can I return it if I don't like it?
Yes. You get 99 days at home with the duo. If you are not completely happy, send it back for a full refund or exchange, even if you have used it. We want you to cook with it before you decide.
How does the lifetime warranty work?
If your knife ever develops a manufacturing defect we repair or replace it free of charge, for the lifetime of the product. Email us photos and your order details and we take it from there. Like all lifetime warranties it does not cover misuse (prying, bones, frozen food), intentional damage, normal edge wear or rust from improper storage.
Is Damascus steel hard to look after?
A little more than a stainless supermarket knife. Wash by hand, dry straight away and add a light coat of oil now and then. Every set ships with a care leaflet. Treat it well and it will outlast every other knife in your drawer.
Will the blades rust?
Not if they are hand washed and dried. The AUS-10 core is a high-carbon steel, which is why it takes such a sharp edge, so leaving it wet in the sink or in a dishwasher can spot it. Dry it after use and you will never see a mark.
Can I order it as a gift?
Yes. Enter your own email for the order summary and the recipient's name and shipping address. We keep all prices and receipts out of the package.
How can I track my order?
Tracking is emailed to the address on your order as soon as it is on its way. Need a hand? Email support@thecookingguild.com.
Do you ship internationally?
Yes, we offer both domestic and international shipping options. Customs duties and taxes outside the US are the customer's responsibility.
Want the full set instead?
The Feather Forge Complete Set adds the 7" Santoku and 7" Nakiri to the same two knives. It is also 50% off in the Fall Sale, and because it clears our $260 premium tier you can pick the Feather Forge 8" Cleaver as your free blade instead.
