San Mai Blade – 9ХФ Core

San Mai Blade – 9ХФ Core

This San Mai blade is hand-forged using a high-carbon 9ХФ tool steel core, offering exceptional edge retention and hardness. The layered construction combines precision cutting performance with strength and durability, making it a perfect choice for custom knife makers.

The cladding — a combination of ШХ15, 40Х13, nickel, 79НМ, and 08Х18Н10Т — adds not only structural resilience and corrosion resistance but also a striking etched pattern. Each blade is individually forged and finished, resulting in a one-of-a-kind visual identity.
