Damascus Kitchen Knife Kikaru - Big Kiritsuke

Damascus Kitchen Knife Kikaru-Big Kiritsuke

The Damascus kitchen knife Kikaru with an interesting handle will certainly catch your attention. The structure of the material alternates multiple layers of different types of steel. These layers are bonded using the method of forge welding into a single unit (this knife has 67 layers). When using, keep in mind 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, creating a characteristic pattern that often has dozens to hundreds of layers. Damascus steel remains sharp and durable over time due to the combination of materials with different properties.

The core of the steel is made from 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 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.
