SKD11鋼は、金属加工金型にも多用される極めて耐摩耗性比優れる合金工具鋼であり、安来鋼青紙クラスの1.6%という高炭素含有率を誇り高いクロム含有により耐食性も併せ持っています。
Originally SKD11 steel was created for cutting metal. Its suitability for knife edges' comes from its resistance to abrasion and its ability to hold a cutting edge.
Also its high content of Chromium greatly contributes to the blade's anti-corrosion. Damascus outer Pure-Nickel layers will never rust.
This 73 layered material produces a rust resistant blade that will maintain its beautiful pattern perfection over the years.
本シリ-ズの地金にはステンレスをしのぐ強カな防鲭性を持つ純ニッケルを採用、SUS410ステンレス層との多層接合を実現し、このダマスカス刀を現代版として再現しています。酸にも侵されないニッゲル層は長期閒使用しても輝きを失わず美しい紋様が維持されます。
Damascus is a laminated steel knife made of several layers of different steel materials. The center of the blade is made of hard steel for sharpness, and both sides are covered with multiple soft steel materials. The multiple steels are metallurgically joined, not by plating or glue. The more the blade is forged, the more complex the ripples become, and the more beautiful the unique grain pattern becomes.
The handles on these knives are Octagonal Oak wood dye Japanese Lacquer (Urushi) that recalls the images of Japanese tradition.
The coating film of Urushi exudes a warm sense of intimacy when in contact with the skin that can almost be likened to the touch of an infant’s skin. With antibacterial and disinfectant properties, it is also provides an exceptional sense of security. urushi is a totally natural lacquer, and with use develops a distinct, deeply refined luster and texture which cannot be reproduced with chemically developed coating materials. This naturally fosters strong feelings of attachment and deference.
