The San Mai lamination technique is a revered method of blade-making, where a hard carbon steel core is layered with softer wrought iron. This design creates a blade with a sharp, resilient edge capable of precise cutting, while the surrounding softer layers absorb shock and reduce the risk of breakage.

This layering process also produces subtle, intricate patterns along the blade’s surface, giving each piece a unique appearance and a connection to the craftsmanship of Viking-era smiths. The combination of carbon steel and wrought iron not only enhances functionality but also imparts a traditional, historical aesthetic.

Whether you are a home chef, a custom knife maker, or a historical collector, this Viking-inspired blade offers versatility and performance. Each blade is carefully hand-forged to ensure exceptional quality and unique character.

During production, the blade is hardened for strength, normalised to relieve internal stresses, tempered for the ideal balance of hardness and flexibility, and sharpened to a fine edge for precision cutting.
