Tamahagane San - 5x22 Utility Knife

Description

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