Looking for Info/Quote estimates on some Damascus knives (Potentially of South Asian origin?)

Attach files
I stumbled across these a while ago and was wondering if anyone could help me either find a little more information on their origin, or how much the full set would fetch. I'm potentially looking into trading them or selling them off in the future so I'd like to be prepared for that so I don't get my teeth ripped out when it comes time to negotiate


There's a symbol on each of the handles, image of which is also attached


Measurements are as follows
Cleaver - 140mm
Bread Knife - 230mm
Carving Knife - 225mm
Chef's Knife - 200mm
Santoku - 190mm
Boning Knife - 160mm
Pairing Knife - 130mm

Any info you can provide helps out, cheers

Hate to break it to you, but no one around here would pay for those. That set looks like Pakistani Damascus which is generally very very low quality steel. The santoku has a pretty wicked recurve as well.

Welcome to the forum, hopefully you can poke around here and maybe find a well regarded knife you'd be interested in trying!

Those symbol are just OEM mosaic pins, you can buy them very cheaply on Aliexpress

Yeah, unfortunately I agree, inexpensive Pakistani stuff.

That santoku in the middle looks to have a wavy edge and no tip.

Those are trash. You may have got on here in the nick of time to save you some regret.
