Damascus steel

Super thin 33 layers are compressed together and with a special procedure, beautiful wave pattern appears like a Samurai sword on the blade. Every single piece has different pattern.

VG10

There is a center core steel in the middle of Damascus steel which actually cuts food.
Our Damascus steel is compressed together with VG10 stainless steel for core in the center.
VG10 contains a lot of carbon which contributes to blade hardness as well as cobalt and vanadium that help keep the sharpness longer.
