SAN MAI – CARBON STEEL CORE / STAINLESS STEEL CLADDING
A classic San Mai laminate, built from three layers: a carbon steel core and two outer stainless steel cladding layers.
Depending on the chosen variant, the product can be made from different grades of carbon steel for the core, allowing you to select the material according to the nature and intended use of the knife being made.
The stainless cladding protects most of the blade surface from corrosion, leaving the carbon steel exposed in the cutting edge area. After proper grinding and finishing, the characteristic transition line between the core and the cladding becomes visible.
The San Mai laminate combines the properties of the carbon steel used on the cutting edge with the practicality and aesthetics of stainless steel sides.
