Damascus Kitchen Knife Minoru-Kiritsuke
An exceptional knife with a Damascus blade and a striking red handle is the perfect combination of functionality and artistry. The unique Damascus patterns on the blade not only guarantee an attractive appearance but also exceptional durability and sharpness, ideal for precise cutting. The handle is made from a durable material with a modern design that provides a comfortable and stable grip. This knife is a perfect choice for anyone who wants a tool in the kitchen that not only looks great but also delivers flawless performance. Great for professional and home cooking. 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 55 layers). When using, keep in mind that the knife is very sharp and serves 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 place. The advantages of knives from this series are unusual sharpness and hardness (HRC60±2). The blade is adorned with the inscription HARAHU, which confirms authenticity and excellent quality.
Damascus steel is produced by repeatedly forging, layering, and re-forging several strips of steel with different properties, thus creating 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 core steel is made from one of the best-rated steels, VG-10. 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. 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.
