Masashi Yamamoto SLD Damascus japanese knives

Discover Masashi Yamamoto SLD Damascus knives! These top-of-the-range Japanese knives are distinguished by their magnificent mirror-polished damascus blade! They are the work of young Japanese blacksmith Masashi Yamamoto, who works in his Sanjo workshop. To make them, the blacksmith used top-quality materials, starting with steel. Japanese SLD steel is used in the heart of the knives, an alloy with a high carbon content of almost 1.6%. Thanks to this steel, your handcrafted SLD Damascus knife boasts a very high hardness of 63 HRC. The result is effortless, clean cuts and a long-lasting cutting edge. This rigid core is surrounded by several alternating layers of softer, nickel-enriched steel that protect it and balance out its hardness: damascus is created. The blade is more resistant to the shocks encountered when cutting, while displaying an original and unique visual for each Japanese knife in the range. Your masashi yamamoto SLD damascus knife boasts a mirror-polished finish in which you can see your reflection! Elegance and refinement define these handcrafted Japanese knives. The handle of SLD damas masashi yamamoto knives is no exception, made from high-quality quince wood and fitted with an ebony bolster. A delicate white micarta ring separates the two woods, ensuring a sturdy handle that's easy to grip. The octagonal shape is comfortable to hold and suitable for both left- and right-handed cooks. When you choose a damascus knife hand-forged by Masashi Yamamoto, you're choosing a knife based on ancestral forging techniques! Don't forget your JapaneseSharpening stone to keep your blades sharp!
