The core of the blade is made of AUS10 steel produced by Aichi Steel, from the Japanese city of Tokai. AUS-10 is, because of the high-carbon content, by far the strongest type within the AUS-series. 33 layers of folded Nickel damascus stainless steels are wrapped around the AUS10 core to make a total of 67 layers. Its wavy spiral damuscus pattern give a stunning and eye-catching look which makes each piece unique. AUS10 is a performance steel enriched with 1.05% of carbon, similar to the more well-known VG-10. It’s easier to sharpen than VG-10, so suitable for everyone from kitchen novices to professional chefs. The central core is hardened stably to Rockwell 60±2. Japanese style "SAKON Bokusui" blade comes fitted with a Lacquered Oak octagonal handle.
