Damascus kitchen knife-Big Cleaver
A quality kitchen knife at an amazing price! Several layers of different types of steel alternate in the structure of the material. These layers are joined by the blacksmith welding method into one unit (for this knife, there are 67 layers). When using, take into account that the knife is very sharp and is used for cutting food (not frozen and not suitable for chopping food). We recommend washing, drying and putting the knife away immediately after use. The advantage of knives from this line is extraordinary sharpness and hardness (HRC60±2).
Damascus steel is produced by repeatedly forging, overlapping and re-forging several strips of steel with different properties, thus creating a characteristic pattern that has tens to hundreds of layers. Damascus steel is sharp and durable for a long time thanks to the grouping of materials with different properties.
The core of the steel is one of the best-rated VG - 10 steels. Highly abrasion-resistant stainless steel.
V Gold 10 steel is commonly known as VG-10 or sometimes V-Kin-10 (kin is short for "gold" in Japanese). VG-10 is a unique formulation of steel with high carbon content and chromium, vanadium, molybdenum and cobalt content. The steel is specially designed for the highest quality knives used both in the kitchen and in the field. VG-10 is often called a "super steel" because it is designed to retain its sharpness and durability without becoming brittle. Most often used in the production of Damascus knives. When steel is used as a core and is folded with another type of steel, the best properties of the knives are achieved when, thanks to the combination of two types of steel, they are at the same time strong, hard, sufficiently flexible and resistant to corrosion.
