San Mai is a traditional Japanese blade-making technique that translates to "three layers." This construction method involves sandwiching a hard, high-carbon steel core between two softer layers of steel or iron. The result is a blade that combines the best properties of both materials: the hard core provides exceptional cutting performance, while the outer layers add strength and flexibility.
The San Mai construction creates a beautiful, contrasting pattern along the blade’s edge, making it a true collector's piece.
The combination of EN45 steel and wrought iron gives the blade a unique, traditional appearance that stands out in any collection.
Whether you are a professional chef, an outdoor enthusiast, or a knife collector, this San Mai Santoku blade offers unparalleled versatility and performance.
Each blade undergoes a rigorous process to maximize performance. The blade is hardened for strength, normalized to relieve internal stresses, tempered to achieve the ideal balance of hardness and flexibility, and sharpened to a fine edge for precision cutting.
Each blade is individually hand-forged, ensuring exceptional quality and unique character. The forging process not only strengthens the blade but also imparts a distinctive aesthetic that sets it apart.
