Damascus steel was adopted on Chinese cleaver sets for its layered grain that holds a working edge through the demanding combination of cleaver chopping and fine utility cuts in the same daily session. Rosewood became a preferred handle material on professional matched sets for its dense grain, natural oils, and warm visual character.
