San Mai Chef Blade – Carbon Damascus Core

San Mai Chef Blade – Carbon Damascus Core

This blade is crafted using the traditional San Mai laminated construction. The cutting core is made from carbon Damascus steel forged from U10, ShH15, and HVG steels, while the outer layers are stainless 95X18 steel. A nickel layer between the core and cladding creates a distinct contrast line and highlights the laminated structure.

The carbon Damascus core combines excellent cutting performance with an attractive forged pattern. The stainless cladding improves corrosion resistance and simplifies maintenance while preserving the cutting qualities of the high-carbon core.

The blade has been professionally heat-treated to a hardness of 58–60 HRC, providing an excellent balance of edge retention, toughness, and ease of sharpening.
