History and info

AUS10 WITH STAINLESS CLAD

3 layers Damascus stainless steel
So-called Damascus steel is multi-layered of microthin stainless steel. 25% of components at the center of layers are called a core steel. Damascus steel used for this CLAD series has AUS-10 stainless steel as a core steel. The other 75% of components are two different hardness steel layers. The both sides of core steel are compressed with alternately soft steel and hard steel. This makes the blade look like wave patterns by special procedures.

AUS-10 stainless steel for core
Stainless steel is a type of steel that contains chromium, which helps protect it from oxidation. This makes it resistant to corrosion from acidic foods and water. Stainless steel is usually considered to be any steel with a chromium content of 12% or higher. AUS10 is a type of stainless steel that is relatively easy to sharpen and low maintenance, but it may not retain its edge as well as harder steel knives like VG10. It is also less prone to chipping than harder steel knives. However, this is a trade-off for the benefits of its easier sharpening and lower maintenance.

HRC (ROCKWELL SCALE)

The HRC is a hardness scale based on the hardness of a material. Typically HRC of 60+ is seen to be a quality hard steel that retains its edge over a prolonged time.
