Santa Fe Stoneworks - Hammered Damascus 7" Santoku knife

Damascus Steel is characterized by it’s strength, edge holding ability, and it’s dramatic appearance. The Damascus Steel used in our knives comes from Japan and is called “Sanmai Damascus” or Sandwich Damascus. There is a core of vg-10 steel with 16 layers of stainless steel on each side to produce a rust free Damascus look blade.

The Santokus are called "Hammered Damascus" because the hammer marks produced in the folding process are left on the top of the blade with the bottom half finished.
