Nami is a collection of hand-forged kitchen knives made in the Tosa region of Japan. A characteristic feature is the blade, which is made of 33-layer Damascus steel. It surrounds a hard stainless steel core called AUS-10 (a steel known for its very high strength and good edge retention). The heat treatment gives the blades a hardness of 61 +/- 1 HRC. An interesting fact is that the name of the collection – Nami (“wave”) – was taken from the effect created on the blades. The unique Damascus pattern resembles sea waves. In addition, the knives are finished with a high polish, which emphasizes their unique character. They have a classic Japanese octagonal handle, which is made from a single piece of Japanese oak.
