Damascus Kitchen Knife MASTERPIECE Tamiko
Handcrafted kitchen knife MASTERPIECE Tamiko. The knife is made of Damascus steel. The blade is made of layered steel composite forging. In this knife, there are 73 layers. This forging creates a unique pattern. Between these layers is inserted a VG10 steel core. The knife has a hardness of 60-62 HRC, which ensures long-lasting sharpness and lifespan.
The shape of the handle ensures a comfortable and secure grip. The handle is made of stabilized Burl wood. Included in the packaging is an eco-leather sheath, made with precision handwork.
Damascus steel is produced by repeatedly forging, layering, and re-forging several strips of steel with different properties, resulting in a characteristic pattern that can have dozens to hundreds of layers. Damascus steel is long-lasting sharp and resistant due to the grouping of materials with different properties.
The steel core is made of one of the highest-rated steels, VG-10. It is highly abrasion-resistant stainless steel.
Steel V 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 specifically designed for the highest quality knives used both in the kitchen and in the field.
We recommend washing the knife immediately after use, drying it, and storing it in place.
