Each knife in the Nami collection is hand-forged in Japan, in the Tosa region. A characteristic feature of this series is the beautiful, 33-layer Damascus steel blade, which resembles ocean waves. The core of the knives is made of stainless steel called AUS-10. It is highly durable and retains its sharpness very well. The heat treatment process used gives the knives a hardness of 61 +/- 1 HRC. The blades are finished to a high polish, which adds to their beautiful character. The handle has an octagonal shape and a traditional Japanese character. It is made from a single piece of Japanese oak. The name of the Nami series, meaning “wave,” was taken from the unique appearance of Damascus steel.
