Product description
San Mai is not steel as such, but it is actually the name of the blade construction - steel, which we can call a classic sandwich.
In the middle of the plate representing the blade is a hard steel with a high content of carbon and other alloying elements (the hardness varies according to the steel used from 62 to 68 HRC!). Inside this blade is VG-10 steel, which is tempered to a high yield strength, or minimally tempered (often only from the temperature of the forged top layer).
The upper layer on both sides consists of medium, but rather low-carbon steel, which, on the other hand, is highly tough and thus serves as an arrestor of microcracks, which are formed in a very hard layer of high-carbon steel. The blade thus becomes maximally resistant to the loss of the blade (hard facet) without the risk of breakage (tough top layer).
