Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What makes AUS10 Damascus Steel different from regular stainless steel knives?
A: AUS10 Damascus Steel features a high-carbon Japanese steel core wrapped in 67 alternating layers of steel, resulting in exceptional edge retention, superior hardness (60±2 HRC), and excellent rust resistance. The layered construction also produces the knife's signature flowing Damascus pattern, making each blade visually unique.
