Saltama Damascus Kitchen Knife Set - Red

Saltama Damascus Kitchen Knife Set - Red

Quality crafted kitchen knives at an affordable price! The structure of the material alternates multiple layers of different types of steel. These layers are bonded using the method of blacksmith welding into a single unit (in this knife, there are 67 layers). When using, please note that the knife is very sharp and is intended for cutting food (not frozen and not suitable for chopping food). We recommend washing the knife immediately after use, drying it, and storing it in its place. The advantages of knives from this series are their unusual sharpness and hardness (HRC60±2).

Damascus steel is produced by repeatedly folding, layering, and re-folding several strips of steel with different properties, resulting in a characteristic pattern that can have dozens to hundreds of layers. Thanks to the grouping of materials with different properties, Damascus steel remains sharp and durable over time.

The core steel is made from one of the highest-rated steels, VG-10. Highly abrasion-resistant stainless steel.

VG Gold 10 is generally known as VG-10 or sometimes V-Kin-10 (kin is the abbreviation for "gold" in Japanese). VG-10 is a unique formulation of steel with a high carbon content and contains chromium, vanadium, molybdenum, and cobalt. The steel is specially designed for the highest quality knives used both in the kitchen and in the field. VG-10 is often referred to as "super steel" because it is designed to maintain sharpness and durability without becoming brittle. It is most commonly used in the production of Damascus knives. When the steel is used as a core and is layered with another type of steel, the best properties of the knives are achieved, as they are both strong, hard, sufficiently flexible, and resistant to corrosion due to the combination of two types of steel.
