The Bondi Beach Series takes you on a culinary journey inspired by the breathtaking scenery of Australia's iconic Bondi Beach. Crafted with precision and care, these knives are not just tools; they're a reflection of the sandy shores and the spirit of coastal living.

Key Features and Benefits

  1. Exceptional Blade Composition: The VG-10 core 67 layer Damascus "super steel" blades are a testament to quality and craftsmanship. Each blade, a unique work of art, is meticulously clad on each side with 33 micro-thin layers of stainless steel and a VG-10 core. This intricate process ensures superior strength and durability.

  2. Versatile Knife Selection: The Bondi Beach Series offers a curated selection of Japanese-inspired knives. From the standout 20.5cm Kiritsuke chef knife to the 17.5cm Nakiri vegetable knife, each knife serves a specific purpose in the kitchen. The 22cm Gyuto chef knife complements the collection, and a set of 4 steak knives completes the ensemble.

  3. Unparalleled Sharpness and Edge Retention: Sharpened at a precise 15-degree angle, these knives arrive super sharp and maintain their edge longer than regular stainless steel knives. The Rockwell hardness of 60±2 HRC ensures exceptional cutting performance.

  4. Elegant and Durable Handles: The knife handles are crafted from durable resin and wood burl, reflecting the natural beauty of Bondi Beach. The octagonal shape, adorned with four decorative rings and a gold rivet with a motif design, provides a comfortable and secure grip.

      FAQs

      What makes the Bondi Beach Series Damascus pattern unique compared to other knives?

      The Bondi Beach Series features 67 layers of Damascus steel with a VG-10 core, but what sets it apart is the micro-thin cladding technique that creates an exceptionally detailed and fluid pattern. Each blade is individually forged, so no two patterns are the same—giving every knife a truly one-of-a-kind, collectible appearance.

      How does the octagonal resin and wood burl handle improve the knife’s performance?

      The octagonal shape provides a natural, secure grip from any angle, making it ideal for both pinch-grip chefs and home cooks. The combination of stabilised resin and wood burl also prevents warping and moisture absorption, ensuring long-term durability with a balanced, comfortable feel during extended prep sessions.

      Is this knife suitable for professional chefs as well as home cooks?

      Absolutely. The 15-degree edge angle, VG-10 super steel core, and 60±2 HRC hardness make it exceptionally sharp and resilient—features highly valued by professionals. At the same time, its balanced 198g weight and ergonomic handle make it easy for home cooks to achieve precise, clean cuts without fatigue.

      How should I maintain the knife to preserve its edge and Damascus finish?

      Handwash only, dry thoroughly, and avoid leaving it wet or in the sink. Regular honing helps maintain alignment, and occasional stropping or professional sharpening restores peak sharpness. To keep the Damascus pattern vibrant, a light coat of food-safe mineral oil can be applied periodically, especially in dry climates.

      What is the return or warranty policy for this knife?

      Chef Supply Co stands by its products and all Chef Supply Co branded products are backed by our limited lifetime warranty. Products not branded Chef Supply Co only carry a 12 month warranty unless the otherwise advised by the manufacturer.

      We cover any faults of materials or workmanship at our discretion.

      Can this knife cut through bones or frozen foods?

      We recommend using a cleaver or specialty knife for bones or frozen items. Using a standard kitchen knife may damage the blade.

      Is this knife dishwasher-safe?

      We recommend handwashing to protect the blade’s edge and maintain the handle’s integrity. Dishwashers can dull the blade and damage the handle over time.

      How should I sharpen this knife?

      You can use a whetstone, honing rod, or professional sharpener. Regular honing maintains the edge, while sharpening restores it when dull.

      What’s the best way to store this knife?

      Store it in a knife block, magnetic strip, blade guard, or sheath to keep the edge protected and prevent accidents.
