HAIKU, Damascus knife-line by Chroma Cutlery,
Inc.
Haiku Damascus knives made of V-Gold N0. 10 Stainless Steel
V-Gold No 10 is a high carbon stainless steel with cobalt, manganese, molybdenum
and vanadium added for
Durability. Haiku Damascus knives are 33 layers of stainless steel, only center
layer acts as the cutting edge.
The layers of the Haiku Damascus knives are repeatedly folded together with
different types of stainless steel forge welding until you have 16 thin
alternating layers. These layers are forge welded to both sides of the V-Gold No
10 core.
Haiku Damascus knives do not have a bolster they have a full tang and the
handles are made from Honoki Wood. The handle takes the shape of your hand after
longtime use.
Handle and blade are joined with the “mekugi” bamboo pin inserted from the
side.
This is the ancient process used for the Samurai sword.
Haiku Damascus knives are manufactured by Sumikama in Japan. Look for the sign
of the Falcon for the Haiku quality. Special tempering is used and is a closely
guarded secret.
