Chef Knife Set 16 Layered Damascus Nickel Hardwood 2 Tone Red Brown 7 Piece

From the Forger:

We use a combination of 1095HC and 15N20 nickel carbon steel for our blades. Layering: The selected steels are heated and folded repeatedly to achieve the desired layer count, which results in a remarkable 384 layers. Acid Burn: The blade is treated with acid after the layering process. This acid burn reaction brings out the satin color in the nickel and creates a blackish-gray hue in the high-carbon steel. During this stage, the beautiful layers of Damascus steel become visible. Blade Finishing: Simultaneously, we sharpen the blade’s edge, transforming the acid-burned edge into a striking satin finish. Through our commitment to maintaining the authenticity and craftsmanship of Damascus steel, we ensure that each knife in our collection showcases the intricate layers and delivers exceptional performance.  At our workshop, we take immense pride in handcrafting authentic Damascus steel knives that go beyond simple acid etching.
