Combining precision blade making and Japanese knowledge of folded steel and modern technology, San Knives Professional Chef Knives are crafted as precision functional art to be admired and used every day. Each knife is a symbol of creativity, craftsmanship and technology.
San Damascus chef knives are constructed from Japanese AUS-10 core steel layered in between 66 folded levels of oxidation resistant stainless steel based on the centuries old knowledge and tradition of Japanese sword making. In an ultra-modern ISO 9001 accredited facility, the metallurgical wonder of multi layered steel, also referred to as Damascus Steel, is transformed into knives of the highest quality.
AUS10 steel is produced in Japan. It is the preferred choice for the best quality of many Knife makers. Because of how well AUS10 steel holds an edge and its ability to withstand rust, AUS10 has become the most popular steel for those professional chefs and cooking enthusiasts looking for the best quality steel in their knife. AUS10 also has an amazing ability to have designs created into the blade during tempering. If you are looking for a good knife, consider buying one with AUS10. It is more expensive compared to VG10 or lower end metals like 440 steel but it is well worth it.
