Why you'll love it

The right knife for every job with the Aurora 7-Piece Set.

From the bread knife for sourdough to the paring knife for peeling, the set has it covered. You stop grabbing whatever's clean and start using the knife that's made for it.

The Aurora knives have multicoloured resin and wood handles, so the whole set looks like it belongs together on the worktop. Every blade has a VG10 steel core inside the Damascus layers, hardened to 60-62 HRC, so the edges stay sharp for a long time between sharpenings.

Every knife in the set comes with a lifetime warranty.

  • Bread knife 19 cm: Effortlessly slices through crusty loaves and delicate pastries without crushing.
  • Nakiri vegetable knife 18 cm: Ideal for precise vegetable chopping and dicing with a flat blade for clean cuts.
  • Santoku knife 18 cm: A versatile blade perfect for mincing, slicing, and dicing.

Blade & performance

A high-carbon VG10 steel core, wrapped in 67 layers of stainless Damascus steel. The hard core holds a sharp edge for a long time, the layers around it add durability.

  • Core: high-carbon VG10 steel
  • Damascus: 67 layers of stainless steel
  • Edge: honed to 10-12° per side, for precise cuts with little effort
Care

Hand wash each knife with warm water and a drop of soap, then dry it right away. Never put it in the dishwasher: the heat and detergent dull the edge and damage the handle.

Hone each knife every few weeks and use a whetstone a few times a year, depending on how much you cook.

Delivery & returns

Free delivery on every order, tracked with Royal Mail. It arrives in 1 to 4 working days.

You have 200 days to return it. Return postage is on you, unless the knife is defective.

Lifetime warranty

Every Galaxy knife is covered for life against defects in material and workmanship. Something wrong with your blade? Send a photo to info@galaxyknives.com and we sort it out.

Not covered: damage from misuse or the dishwasher.

Why it cuts like this

Built around the steel

Every blade is forged from 67 layers of Damascus steel around a high carbon core, then hardened to 60-62 HRC. That is why it bites into a tomato skin instead of sliding over it, and why it holds its edge long after a supermarket knife has given up.

  • 67layers of Damascus steel
  • 60-62HRC hardness, so the edge lasts
  • 200days to try it at home
  • Lifetimewarranty on every knife

Good to know

Care, delivery and the warranty, in plain language. Still stuck? We answer every email.

Ask us anything
How do I keep it sharp?

Hand wash your knife and dry it right after use, that alone keeps the edge in shape far longer. Hone it every few weeks and put it on a whetstone a few times a year, depending on how much you cook.

Can it go in the dishwasher?

No. Detergent and heat dull the edge and damage the handle. Hand wash only, then dry it thoroughly.

What does the lifetime warranty cover?

Every Galaxy knife is covered for life against defects in material and workmanship. Something wrong with your blade? Send us a photo and we sort it out.

How fast is delivery?

Delivery is free on every order. It goes out tracked with Royal Mail and arrives in 1 to 4 working days. You get a tracking link by email as soon as it leaves.

Can I return it?

Yes. You have 200 days to send it back. Once it arrives in its original condition you get your money back within 14 days. Return postage is on you, unless the knife is defective. Then we cover it.

Does it arrive gift ready?

Yes. Every knife ships in a gift box, so it is ready to hand over as it is.

Customer Reviews

Overall rating: 4.9 / 5 from 18 reviews.

The edge on the Boning knife is excellent. It handles fish with much more control than my old knives. The handle shape is comfortable even when I’m doing a longer batch of prep. Definitely one of the better kitchen purchases I’ve made.

I cook most nights and these have quickly become the knives I reach for first. I didn’t expect the Nakiri to become my favourite, but it is perfect for vegetable prep, particularly with cabbage. The 67-layer Damascus steel with a VG10 core was one of the reasons I chose this set.
