San Mai III

An expensive, traditional style Japanese laminate. Constructed from two different steels, this steel is 25% stronger than the incredibly tough AUS 8A steel. A hard high carbon stainless steel forms the core and edge of the blade. Two layers of tough, spring tempered stainless steel are added to support and strengthen the blade. The final blade has more elastic and better edge holding capabilities than standard stainless steels.
