Tamahagane San - 5x22 Utility Knife

Description

5 cutting edge reaches a hardness of 58-60 degrees on the Rockwell scale and a final thickness of .65 mm. 5 cutting edge reaches a hardness of 58-60 degrees on the Rockwell scale and a final thickness of.65 mm. You might want to look at this rolling process as a modern forging technique. Kataoka selected V-G No. 5 stainless steel for the SAN knives, because V-G No. Kataoka has achieved the perfect balance between sharpness and strength with the SAN edge. To appreciate the quality of the edge, you must first look at its incredible mirror polish and then try cutting with it. The outside layers each reach a thickness of.675 mm. Using scientific testing equipment (CATRA), Kataoka was able to show that their knives stayed sharper longer than knives made from other VG steels. The 3-ply stainless steel has an original thickness of 20 mm and is thinned by repeated rolling to a thickness of 2 mm. 5 cutting edge reaches a hardness of 58-60 degrees on the Rockwell scale and a final thickness of.65 mm. There are several different VG stainless steels. The edge on the SAN knives is a minute, beveled edge. 5 can be hardened as hard as any of the other V-G steels but has superior edge retention. The outside layers each reach a thickness of .675 mm. Manufactured by Kataoka and Company in Niigata, Japan. The angle of the edge is between 14 and 15 degrees. After the rolling processes, the V-G No.
