Tamahagane San - 5x22 Utility Knife

Description

The 3-ply stainless steel has an original thickness of 20 mm and is thinned by repeated rolling to a thickness of 2 mm. To appreciate the quality of the edge, you must first look at its incredible mirror polish and then try cutting with it. Also, this rolling process removes all the impurities in the steel leaving you with a very hard, very pure stainless steel. The angle of the edge is between 14 and 15 degrees. The edge on the SAN knives is a minute, beveled edge. The outside layers each reach a thickness of .675 mm. Kataoka has achieved the perfect balance between sharpness and strength with the SAN edge. Kataoka selected V-G No. Manufactured by Kataoka and Company in Niigata, Japan. 5 can be hardened as hard as any of the other V-G steels but has superior edge retention. 5 cutting edge reaches a hardness of 58-60 degrees on the Rockwell scale and a final thickness of .65 mm. 5 cutting edge reaches a hardness of 58-60 degrees on the Rockwell scale and a final thickness of.65 mm. The outside layers each reach a thickness of.675 mm. Using scientific testing equipment (CATRA), Kataoka was able to show that their knives stayed sharper longer than knives made from other VG steels. There are several different VG stainless steels. You might want to look at this rolling process as a modern forging technique. 5 stainless steel for the SAN knives, because V-G No. After the rolling processes, the V-G No.
