TSUNAMI Cu-Shim
TSUNAMI Cu-Shim is a unique laminate that combines a distinctive twisted carbon damascus pattern with a striking copper layer and high-quality steel at the core.
The cladding made of twisted carbon damascus creates a dynamic, wavy pattern inspired by the power of the ocean. The copper layer (Cu-Shim), characteristic of this laminate, separates the damascus from the core, creating a vivid, contrasting line that further highlights the material's unique structure.
The laminate is available with various core steel options, allowing you to tailor its properties to the individual needs and intended use of the knife being crafted.

The unique character of each piece
Due to the manual forging and twisting process of the damascus, each flat bar features a one-of-a-kind layer arrangement. The pattern and the course of the copper line may vary slightly between individual pieces.
TSUNAMI Cu-Shim is a combination of traditional blacksmithing, advanced welding techniques, and unique aesthetics. A material created for knifemakers who expect both high quality and an exceptional look from their projects.
Note: The laminate is made of carbon steel and requires proper maintenance and protection against corrosion. The visible pattern and the copper line appear after proper processing, revealing the layers and etching the finished blade.
